Christmas baking...

[fajrdrako]

Ah, what a Christmassy day. I'm doing some Christmas baking, with friends coming over any minute now for a Merlin video-party. I have spots all over my glasses from whatever I've been tending on the stove - melting butter for the date squares? Beating cream cheese for the cheesecake? And I'm making an old favourite chicken dish I haven't done in a couple of years: honey-curry chicken. The secret ingredient is mustard.

I am also, as per tradition, listening to Christmas music.

Got my hair done this morning, and wrapped a bunch of Christmas presents for people I'm likely to see today. Then maaseru and I drove out to Bell's Corners to get a vitamin suppliment for the budgies. maaseru was worrying that they looked a little tired and peaked. Right now, they're singing along to the peppy Christmas music and behaving like teens at a rave - and they haven't even had their vitamins yet.

Better get back to whatever's on the stove.

Me, your sister, and raynedaze. Three intelligent, personable women. Take a clue from that.

All I can say is that it's something I'm working on

May the Force be with you!

The latest news (particularly out of City Hall) is decidedly not positive.


I've heard all sorts of conflicting hearsay. I'll believe it's over when I see buses back on the streets.

I should mention I [now] stand corrected; City Hall has been advised that such a declaration would have no effect. It has to be applied by the federal government (i.e. Parliament) instead.

Which makes that neo-con Harper's decision to suspend (prorogue) same till Jan. 26 particularly annoying. :-(

Harper doesn't even have to deal with Ottawa's traffic - ! Most annoying.
