Yup. It’s the weekend. Slacking has occurred.

Highlight was stopping by the comic book store to see Erin yesterday. She’s working at the comic book store and tending bar part time, so you have to hunt her down if you want to see her. We finally cornered her at the comic book store. Well, okay, I went to see Erin, Michael went to peruse the goods. He purchased something, but don’t ask me what, since I don’t have a clue, other than it was Japanese, and I think you have to read it backwards.

Have not yet heard anything from the vet, I presume that will happen tomorrow.

ACK!

I just glanced at the calendar, and realized that there are a bunch of birthdays coming up, several of which require me to get packages in the mail, since the gifts are for kids. I knew I should have been in the kid’s section last time we were at the book store. Three kid’s books this month, another next month, then I get a break until May when it seems like everyone has a kid with a birthday. Any good suggestions for kid’s books (five and under) will be appreciated!

And that’s the end of the excitement. Made a pot of chili and a lasagna and Michael made a batch of hummus, so dinner is taken care of for the week. At least I hope so. My cooking doesn’t often involve receipes, so my last batch of chili wasn’t very good. I tried to be moderate this time. (Secret: Unsweetened chocolate.) I added a little less molasses, and more olive oil. We’ll see.

It snowed off and on yesterday, and although the snow was quite pretty, there wasn’t a lot of it, and you could see the grass poking through in the yard. Of course this doesn’t displease Michael, since he’s the one that has to shovel the snow. (Don’t misunderstand me, I can, and do shovel snow, but unfortunately I shovel snow about as well as I chop wood. I can get the job done, but it takes me a ridiculously long time compared to a normal human being.)

Oh yeah, the cooking reminds me, I’m looking for a receipe for lemon cake (besides a box cake) I love lemon cake, but can’t seem to find a receipe for one. If anyone has a suggestion for one they’ve tried, please let me know.
