A change in the weather

A cold front has moved in---I currently have the window open in my office and it's 57F. Zesty! OMG, after six months of roasting temps, this makes me deliriously happy. I'm wearing a cozy flannel shirt (and ONLY a flannel shirt, sorry if that's TMI!) and I feel weirdly energetic.

I rather hope it keeps up til tomorrow---I have a lunch date with newly rediscovered high school buddy Red and another friend, and I'd love to be able to wear the black coat I picked up last April (much too late for last winter, but it was MY SIZE and had an absurdly low price). Although I do have a fairly comprehensive winter wardrobe....


Gee, it looks like the cooler temps have brought out my adverbs!

All revved up

I've exchanged the toaster, done massive shopping, manic from the the weather and can't stop smiling. For the first time, I wished I had to commute today, cos it's such a beautiful day for a drive. Saw a restored Maverick, painted screaming Kelly green, wanted to decorate it for the holidays---tartan seatcovers and a wreath with shiny red balls on the grille.

Contributed to the first Salvation Army bell-ringer of the season, got out to the car with my booty---I MUST clear out the trunk, I could barely get my groceries in there (admittedly, the toaster took up a fair amount of room)---got in, and had a plot bunny decend on me like an avalanche. Fuck-bugger, I did NOT need that!

I still need to pick up a turkey breast. I'm not cooking a whole turkey for myself, but because I have Wednesday and Thursday off, and therefore have time to make preparations, I'm planning to cook like a fiend (since I can always package the surplus for later). Go, me!
