Blizzard Eve

Hey, Amanda.

Whoa. It's 9:50 pm. I just got home a few minutes ago. Seriously. I left this morning for school at 6:45 am and didn't get home until 9:30...but I made a huge dent in my Christmas shopping, your care package is ready to go first thing in the morning (on my way to the gym), and I am soooo enjoying this Brandy Alexander. It's my best one so far this season, even though the ingredients are all the same. (You know, by the way, if I could find some, I'd get you some of the double old fashions you are coveting. If I find anything remotely similar in my travels, in fact, I will hook you up.)

You sound in a great mood, with plans that suit your fancy. Yay. I'm not in a bad mood, but still am looking forward to a good night's sleep. Really, is there anything else so curative as a good night's sleep?...other than maybe a great cup of coffee, or bacon. Or a perfect cocktail. But a good night's sleep doesn't cost anything, contains no fat or calories, and doesn't cause heartburn. So there.

While I was shopping, the weather forecast changed--significantly. This morning in the wee hours as I was getting ready there was talk of a storm that could miss us but was predicted to be more probable just south of CT in Long Island, but not it seems that tomorrow night into Sunday we'll be getting 5-10 inches of snow, with blizzard-like wind. That area south is predicted to get 10-15 inches of true blizzard. Yikes. In light of that, I'm glad I really pushed myself to get as much done as possible, but wonder if I'll need to cancel my plans with M. Tomorrow over coffee I'll watch the latest weather reports to see if they've pinned down a start time. If it doesn't start until late, I'll be fine.

I suppose I should attempt to wrap a thing or two before this Brandy Alexander, and my next take, affect. Again, I'm so happy that you're in a good way, especially that you honored yourself about babysitting. Go you!

Love you,
Barb
