I post from bed!

Today wasn't just the "first day back" for work -- our kickboxing class restarted today.  Well, it was supposed to, but the weather is being somewhat inclement.  Somewhat in that there is ice accumulating everywhere, BUT the roads.  Class got cancelled.  In a way, I'm ecstatic to have another free evening to do anything/nothing, but at the same time, I feel like I've reverted back to a white belt over the holidays.  Yikes.  I need to bust a move.  I need to make a motion.  Repeatedly.

To "celebrate" having another free evening, I made turkey hot dogs with vegetarian baked beans (with added diced purple onion) slathered on top.  I know, GROSS!  I ate in front of Big TV (that's the name of our television that we received for Xmas) and watched America's Funniest Home Videos.  There was nothing sophisticated that was gonna happen no how!  Gawsh!  Aw shucks!

Hee:


So, I'm showered, stuffed to the gills (still!), and in bed w/ SOLO.  I love our warm nest!  I'm hoping that if I can't benefit from inclement weather, can I at least report to work late tomorrow morning? Please?!!!


This robin let me get close!


I really wanted a no frills chocolate cake w/ chocolate buttercream frosting, so I made one from scratch yesterday. It is a really involved process. Tastes nothing like boxed cake mixes or dried out yuck you get from bakeries. I'm going to brag on myself; it is really good! Of course it's Bittman! DUH RALPH!

We didn't eat THAT much, I left a large chunk of it with Collin & Delores.

I have so much to do.  I need to catch up on email correspondence for one.  Thankfully, my friends are tough as nails and don't need any coddling or babying from me -- we've got the understanding.  We probably couldn't make it w/o this understanding.  I promise to write back!  Eventually!

I'll give a care, starting tomorrow.  Hopefully late!
