walking upstairs. one of many walks upstairs everyday. i seem to forget things up or down regularly. the stairs are unusually empty. with only one notebook waiting for someone to claim it and take it to his/her room. must be fred’s.

monday 12.15.09

cooking dinner. scallops (on sale at sentry!) and broccoli with quinoa. had my first ever massage. at inner fire yoga. all geared up to have a nice evening – massage, cooking, relaxing. and then my car battery died. less than peaceful evening, turns out. car problems make me nervous and tense. good thing my insurance company paid for my massage, right?

monday off from barriques. weird… was supposed to go to a uwmf work meeting on the updates to the pap and mammography guidelines. but it got cancelled, so i had some extra time on my hands. what did i do? i cleaned the living room. swept, picked things up, dusted (thanks for the crocheted rag, mom) while ‘six feet under’ was playing. i was going to vacuum, but ryan got home and we walked to video station with liza. and rented a movie we both had forgotten we had already seen. suppose that’s what happens when you live with nick for a while and regularly have double-feature nights. you forget all the movies you only half-watched.

bela fleck holiday show! watching some of the best musicians in the world play some holiday and some non-holiday tunes at the orpheum with brendon, ryan, and shaina. this isn’t what the show looked like. but it’d be a bit rude to take a picture, now wouldn’t it? (and they don’t allow flash cameras.) show good, i bought my dad a cd. brendon and i got dinner pre-show at the afghan restaurant on state street. turns out i like afghan food – who woulda known?

night at home. watching ‘weeds’. got addicted. to the show. spent the afternoon with liz at ‘the christmas carol’ at the overture. took two or three times longer than usual to get back from the east side. madison seems to have a snow removal problem this winter. cooked dinner and settled in for an evening in the big green chair.

friday 12.11.09

having some hot chocolate & peppermint schnapps in my coffee mug (i made it myself!) around the house. i got hooked on the drink with the new snow and the snow day. mm-mmm. getting ready to head to steph & carson’s for a fancy wine and cheese night, and the alchemy, with ryan.

sitting at home. icing my knee. i’ve hurt this knee no fewer than three significant times in my life. the third being recently on the ice walking into my house. tripping and falling with all my stuff. strike against you, winter. reading through my mail in front of msnbc. postcard in the mailbox from alli – ‘she like imaginary men the best of all.’ thanks, darling.

snow day, snow day! happy snow day!! madison, wi received a gift of 19 inches of snow tuesday night/wednesday morning. the city (and state) shut down. my office and coffee shop were closed. so, no work for this gal, or ryan, or fred, or shannon. so what did we do? we shoveled. and drank. nothing quite like hot apple bourbon cider and peppermint schnapps hot chocolate on a snow day. headed on over to the willy/atwood area to kara’s and play some circle of death with kara stacy and cody later in the eve. good day. thanks mother nature! snow days should be mandatory.
