Minus


It is -6 with the windchill today. That is actually warmer than yesterday!
This picture is the view from my kitchen, which is seriously obscured by a case of the icies...

Last night I went out with some fine ladies and heard some great music at Toad. I went home tired and satisfied*. Since the man was already snug in his bed and didn't relish the thought of getting dressed to GO! OUTSIDE! and come over for...sleep, I went to his place. His place which is pretty steadily kept at 55 degrees. OMFG people there was very little difference between being outside on his porch and being inside in his kitchen :(
As I came in he told me: "I turned the heat up! It's at 60 now!". Really? I couldn't tell... Eventually he was kind enough to turn it up to 65 degrees, and when I disrobed I put my clothes under the blankets so that they wouldn't be frozen together when I got dressed this morning.

This afternoon/evening is our office holiday party. There will be wine! and beer! and a mashed potato bar where potatoes are served in martini glasses and you can put all kinds of toppings on them and I'm pretty sure that sounds like the best part to me. I mean, I LOVE beer and wine, but cheese and bacon aren't too shabby. Especially when served up like a delicious savory potato-tini. Yum yum. Happy Friday. Stay warm.

*By satisfied I don't actually mean drunk! For once! But have you had this new tea-flavored vodka? It's the TITS, people. It makes the PERFECT Arnold Palmer!

Mashed potato bar? GENIUS.
