I have great dreams, #2

Last night I had a dream I went on a date with Jay-Z.

That's right, Jay-Z.

I don't even really like him.

I have great dreams

Last night I dreamt that I was a freelance writer. I was doing a piece on comfortable shoes, and inserts that would make uncomfortable shoes easier to wear. I had to keep trying on so many different kinds of shoes, flip-flops, fancy sandals, tennies, and boots. Turns out, in my dream the ugly clunky heeled boots were the most comfortable, so I had to write an entire article about these ugly, awful, clunky, black boots.

It's a new banner

I added a little banner up top there, for an organization that I whole-heartedly support.

STOP THE TRAFFIK is a campaign working to combat the fastest growing global crime, people trafficking—the buying & selling of people around the world today

Icing on the . . .ground (clever, I know)

I can skate down the sidewalk with no ice skates on.

It's icy out there! We started getting freezing rain at about 6:00pm, and it's supposed to continue for 24 hours, and then go into a wintry mix.

The good thing is I don't have to work tomorrow due to weird circumstances, and my husbands school district just announced no school tomorrow! A whole day off together, iced in, snoozin' around with the cats.

Right now we have lit a bunch of candles, and have the Christmas tree on and that's it. It's lovely and cozy and perfectly wintry. And while I would curse it aloud if I had to get out in it tomorrow, I will enjoy tomorrow, and i hope everybody stays safe out there.

Snow!

That's right ladies and gents, it's the first substantial snow of the season here in KC.

Which brings me to my post for today that is entitled:

'What your high school kid is not wearing while walking home from school in the snow'

Hat
Coat
Scarf
Gloves
Long pants
Earmuffs
Appropriate shoes

(On my way to work if I take the backroads I go by a local high school right as they are letting out)

Menu

Here's what's on the menu so far for Christmas Dinner at my house. Provided, of course, I can make everything. I've got some pretty ambitious recipes I've decided to try. I will make the Souffles and the cake at least once before Christmas. Whatever I decided the main course is, I'll probably try that one a couple times.

Individual sized Sweet Potato casseroles
Goat Cheese Souffles
Wild Mushroom stuffing
(insert main course of some kind here)
Dried Cranberry and chocolate covered almond cake
Chocolate gingerbread cookies
