Prosaic Paradise

Over the past week or so, as I look at it, I’ve been crazy social! Some by plan and some by happenstance, I have been spending time with close friends and it’s been truly wonderful to have the time and to feel that comfort. I got to attend Jen’s tree trimming & annual hamdango as well as Telf’s tree trimming and cheddarboatstravaganza. (Remind me to repost the cheddar sailboat recipe – truly phenomenal.) I got to see Jody (Plug: Custom Jewelry!) & family at a cozy gathering and play some Rock Band (still suck at drums). I even had my own entirely impromptu unplanned whoah-there tree trimming at which my wish to watch the Monkees Christmas special was fulfilled.

I also attended the 8th annual Peril Book Club Holiday Book Swap where I was gifted with the Lolcats book which is now proudly displayed on my coffee table. I attended my second annual drunken-shopping relay race (which I lost, I believe, by giving up when the winners said, around 9:30, “let’s go to Macy’s!!” and I gave up – clearly I should have been more drunk). I even got to go out drinking with my boss & many coworkers, and considering my boss lives in Colorado, this is special.

And then last night I get a phone call from Christie and Fred (plug: Dresden Files RPG & Evilhat Games!) – they are in Laurel and hungry and bonus, they just bought a matching camera so can we talk about cameras! Well, how can we turn that down. We went out to Tampico on the split in Rt 1 and we didn’t even talk about cameras that much.

So I say “cheers!” to the holidays and “cheers!” again to the winter-break social butterfly emergence. Peace.
