Busy morning. I woke up around 5:45 and lay around til almost 6:30, then got up and did my barre work, which made my legs all wibbly. I cleaned the kitchen and the kitty litter, took out the garbage, and got breakfast. Later today I’ll make two pies and either will make or get Ted to make his soft rolls, ’cause it occurred to me last night that we could make them and take them out halfway through baking and put ’em in the fridge, so that *tomorrow* they’d be effectively brown-and-serve rolls. Doesn’t that seem ever so much more time-efficient for the morrow?
I also made some incredibly good bbq ribs last night. And then went and bought some music, including the new Evanescence, which if I had looked at the price tag I would not have bought (it’s a 2 disc dvd/cd set and I don’t seem to be smart enough to open it up so I can get to the second disc, and it cost $25, for Christ’s sake, but I saw it on the new releases board at Borders, asked the girl behind the counter about it, and she got it off the “I’m working on putting these away” cart and I bought it without looking at it. Durr.), a Fairport Convention CD (I love Fairport Convention), and a jazz cd of a woman who looks on the cover shot a lot like Amber Benson from Buffy, which is why I picked it up (it obviously wasn’t her, but it looked like her and I was therefore curious). Jane Monheit, “Taking a Chance on Love”. It’s the only one I’ve listened to so far and it’s really good. (There. I got the Evanescence thing to open.)
Um. That’s about it. Still no walking. There’s an article in the paper today about the incredibly icy streets. And the weather says it’s supposed to hold like this for at least another 5 days, so I think I’m going to go buy some ice cleats for my boots.
Also: *hugs* for Sarah, who needs them extra today.
