not so much with the productive today...

So last night was quite awesome. I survived the excursion out into the frosty coldness and bought what I needed. Froze like crazy, but I got the stuff done. While the original plan was to go out to dinner, the blizzardish thing that showed up yesterday kind of nixed that. So my reaction was, "Dinner party!" I was very warped Martha Stewart. it was great. I made a cake in Kate's breadmaker, and then began to risotto the hell out of stuff. three-pepper with chicken. it ruled a lot, and there was juuust enough for everyone. I was quite proud. The attendees were me, Brad, SethyPoo, TourGuide Nick, TGN's friend, and Liz and Laura, who are friends of Brad's. It was very pleasant just hanging out, and everything came out really well. I like cooking (and I'm glad I don't suck at it!) and I really like cooking for people. Food should be a social thing. The devil's food cake was very very tasty and I managed NOT to set off the fire alarm with the candles. Go me!
Nick commented that I really needed an apron. Not because I was spilling, but because it would have completed the look. I found that amusing. I like playing warped martha stewart! It's fun!
The evening resulted in the consumption of A LOT of red wine by me, Brad, Colin and Kerri. Yellowtail Shiraz is my friend. I got pretty darned tipsy and it was pretty funny. I haven't been even close to tipsy in a very very long time. I'm never trying to do dishes not-sober again. I didn't do too badly, aside from continually dropping utensils and sometimes forgetting to rinse things. Yeah.
This morning was a little not-fun, as I was rocking a teeny little headache...and I had to go to work. Basketball. Blech. I was pretty worthless, and I really didn't want to be there. Being there meant that I was NOT in bed. And my bed was more or less the only place I wanted to be. It took me for.ev.er. to write webstories. Just not fun. And the fact that I had consumed NO food wasn't helping matters.
So now it's time for Sunday evening goodness, also known as chapter and homework. I'm leaning towards coming back home and watching the Pats game and doing work there...and then going to bed eaaaarly. maybe.
