i worked late today. i made taco soup and cheesie biscuits and we went to walmart. i had a list of christmas stuff to buy for the clubhouse christmas party. baskets, and wrapping paper and ribbons, and bathroom luxury items, and scented candles and the like. well i was in the ribbon aisle and was bending down to get something off of the bottom shelf when i rammed my forehead into a metal bar thingy. you know the things that have the prices on them and they stick out from the shelf wall? well this one didn't have a price label on it. it was bare, but i'm pretty sure i left a string of skin on it because there is some skin missing from my forehead. it's my walmart war wound.

because today was a sleep-in day i got to go for my run in the daylight, which was nice. the nicest thing about it was that i actually saw sunlight. i think it was the first time i felt sunshine on my skin since saturday. what's with all this fog?? today i started up mini conversations with a couple of people that i passed. i like to think of myself as neighbourly.

why is it that so many people don't like mushrooms?

after we buy the tickets selina and i always spend our time at chapters before the symphony begins. this time we explored the top floor and i found all these new knitting books that i've never seen before and that kept me occupied most of the time. knitting books are like cook books for me. mostly for dreaming. once in a while one pattern or recipe will come true. but i always want more books. speeking of cookbook dreaming, i was driving tania, linda and selina home from church on sunday and tania informed me that she would like to come over. so i drove her home so that she could change, we dropped the voiceless selina off and came home. i made chili for tania and i, and karey, heather and linda all went about preparing their individual dinners at the same time. we pulled out the table so there was more foom for us all to sit around and we talked long after our eating was done. i don't know how our cookbook dreaming was started, but i think it was because we were talking about karey's betty crocker cookbook and how we liked it, but then we started going through the cookbooks and talking about food and how we love this and that. meanwhile i ended up on the floor going through the cookbooks looking for the recipe for mushroom burgers that i used to make for karey and i back in the barons rd days. it was one of our favourite meals. i finally found it, but by then i had found many a cookbook, like the indian one karey got me for christmas one year. there's so manhy exciting recipes to try in it. i'm going to try to use the cookbooks more... anyways it was just nice sitting and talking together about food in our green kitchen.

i need to put myself to bed.
