Only 10...9...8...7 days til Thanksgiving? Just yesterday it was, well, yesterday with PLENTY of time to neglect shopping and menus and lists, and to leave my patio furniture (I have a patio? Since when?) outside, in denial of all that snows and blows. Well, doncha know, that furniture is now in another zip code, thanks to El Nino swirling around this little cobblestone with WILD abandon. And the calendar runs on apace, sprinting into the holidays, with me panting to keep the hell up.
Now that my power is back on (and my wi-fi cooking again), I can de-stress a bit with another playlist. Actually I find cooking these things up to be calming and creative and especially cozy, especially since my cat tends to park himself on my lap while I cook them. I just can't feel my legs after an hour of it (he's heavy, if not my brother), but what do I need with appendages, I ask you! Just glad to be alive and vertical and unwoozy and warm (thank you Mr. Furnace and Ms. Generator).
In fact, I am soooo grateful that this coming Sunday is a Toast To Life. Yuppers, that's our theme...Life, Living, Livin' (subtly different), and Alive, along with some Beats (cuz heart beats = life, right? Can I get away with that?), annnnnd a little Brian Stokes (my fire) Mitchell. We sort of bypassed his birthday (Oct. 27, which makes him a Scorpio...YIKES!), so gotta pay penance for my Tardy, and what a great excuse to play that guy! PLUS a first: The First Ever S.E.X. corner! How risque, how Cuisinart, how qu'est que c'est! It all equals one jam-packed 2 On The Aisle.
You know who(s) enjoying an early form of El Nino Swirls.
Meanwhile I'll be shopping (grrrr) and finding my shovel (ugh) and stop living in denial. Maybe. Denial is almost the Bliss that Ignorance used to be. I'll just have to wash it down with an El Nino Swirl.
