So much for staying home
Dec. 9th, 2006 08:09 pmI wanted to stay in this weekend and work. Doesn't look like that's going to happen. Spent the morning out stocking stuffer shopping and running errands. Wrapped everything in the afternoon and then started in on supper. Made a really great curry dish - doesn't have a name or a recipie, I just threw in what I had, but it turned out excellent. I was really worried William wouldn't like the rice noodles I paired it with, but he did. Yay! And only needed half of the curry sauce, so I've got about 6oz in the fridge for next time.
My iron died. :( Had to run out to WalMart and get a new one. Upgraded a little, my old one was a $10 special, new one is a solid Black & Decker old school model made from actual metal. Yeah, no plastic, imagine that. Not like JR's iron, where he had to put it on the stove to heat it up. That's a little too old school for me.
Went to Lu's last night. William had to fix her computer. Windows lost a crucial .dll file and he had to repair it from the master disk. Was good, only went through a bottle of wine each. Met her boyfirend, Antonio. He really is hot looking, and he treats her really well. But he doesn't speak any English, and my Spanish is very butchered. So she was translating back and forth. Was a nice time, just hanging out, talking, watching CSI on the Espanish channel with English subtitles.
Did spend waaaay to much in the wine store again, but everything looked so good. Bought Lu a nice bottle of French Bordeaux for Christmas. Got us an Alsace Pino Gris (100% pino, not a mix), a cheap Midi Rose from Carcassone (where William's father's family is from the only reason I bought it), an Italian Barbaresco, and actual tawny port. Beautiful colour on the tawny, might not actually drink it it's so pretty. Cost a right arm & leg tho, like all the worthwile ports do. So I'm officially banned from the Wine Shops until my wallet recovers.
Cool new pair in the Am_Pervy room on camfrog. The owners 'borrowed' his room for the meeting and he followed them back to Am_Pervy. Hahahaha. They seem cool enough, was cute when they were dancing together. Zero people in thier room anyway, they were probably desperate for some company. Why do I keep running into all the Dutch people on line? Never talked to anyone from The Hague before, so that's cool. The girl was munching on a chocolate letter and I actually didn't sound like a retarded American for a change. Thank you for the cultural lesson, Babz. :notworthy
Plans for the evening, iron the laundry, do dishes, and make fudge. Scheduling in time to write. I need to do it. I just have to treat it like a job. Punch in at 10 and write until midnight. Focus. Don't think about Tris and Alex or BeachTime Fun Dan. Oooh, Dan with a tan. Mmm, no Dan without tan lines. :D Naughty naughty me.
Rightey, back to work so I can do the fun stuff later.
