Sooooo cold

It's Friday and that means I'm working from home. I think the office would be warmer, though. Man, I cannot WAIT to replace these drafty windows this spring. Even with the storm windows installed, there's still a draft.

I wandered the house looking for my UUNET sweatshirt and when I couldn't find that, I donned my "Ti" sweatshirt. Mmmm... it's all pomegranate-y. Oh yeah. I slathered myself in Swank before going to the 12th Night site last week and I hadn't washed this sweatshirt yet because I only wore it for a couple of hours. Mmmm... pomegranate.

Another thing I cannot find is my phone charger. I know I charged the cell last Thursday night but the charger isn't on the CD tower and isn't in the TV cabinet. It's probably someplace obvious like the dining room table, but because I'm not expecting to see it there I can't see it there. Blast my obliviousness.

BSG starts back up tonight and SciFi is running a marathon today so we can get remember where we left off. Hubbyfink said he was going to work a half day so he could watch the marathon. Despite getting to work at o-god-thirty in the morning, though, his "half days" usually have him getting home around 4pm.

Tomorrow is my third BPAL pilgrimage to Palmyra with [livejournal.com profile] danabren. ([livejournal.com profile] dawnhutchings, you still interested in going?) We get to sniff the Lupercalia offerings, yay! There may be Sonic and there WILL be sushi. It'll be freaking cold, but we'll smell good and have full bellies.

Oh, and our high-end cable channels have been gone since Wednesday. We figured we wouldn't be able to get a tech out here to fix the attenuator (which has been the problem every single time we've lost cable channels despite CSR "Steve"'s certainty that BOTH cable boxes have gone bad each and every time) before the FiOS install. The "Big Love" season premiere will have to wait until Wednesday night.

It's only 11:30 and I hope to be leaving in another 30 minutes. :-P

Tick tock, Hubbyfink. Tick tock.

I thought that your uterus was staying empty for the nonce? WHY TICKING WHY???

*giggle* That's not my uterus ticking; it's the BSG marathon. Happily, he's made it home and is straining to hear all the whispered dialog.

Oh, darn--we were hoping you'd be around to sing with us this weekend :-(

That would be fun, but S. and I will be part of the contingent going to the Smithsonian for the Pompeii exhibit, and I don't know what time we'll be back. We'll have to see....

We would LOVE to, but we've got dinner plans with friends and I don't know how late that'll run (the DVR is set to record the show). How about I give you a call if we get done early?

Sorry to hear about your buddy's basement. Ugh.

Sushi lunch or sushi dinner? I still have to figure out what I'm doing with the sprout -- it may wind up that I bring her plus another pair of hands, but I wouldn't want to inflict her on Saturday night diners even with help. :(

Dinner, I think. The most amazingly wonderful sushi place is just around the corner from [livejournal.com profile] danabren's pad.

Which Sonic tomorrow? The one in Ephrata, PA? I'm going to be driving through there around lunch time.

[identity profile] melaniesuzanne.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, the one between Palmyra and Lebanon. I'm not sure which city it's closest to, but it's on 422.

[identity profile] sskipstress.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if that one wasn't there the last time I looked for Sonic near my mom's house or if I just figured that was too far out of my way, but for tomorrow's trip, I could take 422 instead of the Turnpike and try to meet you for lunch. if timing fails, it fails and I get yummy chili cheese tater tots on my own.

That might work. We should be in the area around 2:30 or 3.

I suspect I'll be going through there a little earlier, but who knows what will really happen. Hope to run into you.

Sounds like someone works "half days" like I do. I worked 8 hours one day and it got billed out as a half day. Go figure.
