i actually slept in today, made it all the way to 8:30a. amazing. i’m glad i got up in time to see the sunshine because now i’m watching the predicted storm roll across the sky, which basically means that everything is gray. i’m okay with it though, for two reasons: it’s perfect weather to stay inside and finally finish my christmas cards and i can walk to work tomorrow. i’m already sick of the cold, which doesn’t bode well for the rest of the winter. yet again wishing that i could hibernate until march.
crafting is not only fun but it’s also enabling me to watch a lot of tv shows that i missed out on when they were airing because i hate watching tv. (damn commercials.) dollhouse, the sarah connor chronicles, eureka, battlestar gallactica…oh, the geekiness continues. and it amazes me at how little i have to actually see to know what’s going on in the show. i can just listen to most of it while i cut, glue and color. i love having a vivid imagination…
i also love cooking. i made macaroons for the first time (super easy) to take to a holiday party at a friend’s house. i also whipped up some german-style almonds which were quickly renamed “crack nuggets” as folks couldn’t stop eating them. why do i enjoy feeding people so much? other than the fact that my entire ancestry is full of nationalities that love good food. italian, german, danish… there might be something to this genetics thing after all. i get to do it all over again next weekend for another holiday party, then again as soon as i get back from christmas in pa for a new year’s eve party. joy! i think i’m going to have to start having a regular “i’m going to cook a huge meal for anyone who wants to show up” night just so i can feed people on a more regular basis…
