Kind of lonely today, given that Chris is gone and I won't see him until maybe the 7th when I get back. I hope he'll e-mail me at least while we're back home, I'd really really like that. I've gotten so sappy in 1 day! Men have very strange powers. At least he came by the office yesterday to say goodbye, I saw him outside and we chatted for a few minutes. Gave me a hug and a kiss and then left. I litterally skipped to the door (I tend to do that when smittened). Warm fuzzy feeling.
Today the office is coming over for potluck and gift sharing. I love giving gifts and playing Martha Stewart. Must vacuum, dust, do dishes, clean kitchen, put away all my work, get stuff back from the office, take a shower, clean the bathroom, make a dish (what shall I cook??), then do dishes again, take out the trash, set the table, create a nice atmosphere (sounds, smells, lights), then get ready to welcome my guests. Have to do this all again tomorrow when my psych office comes for our x-mast party.
Perhaps I'll make the chickpea curry: 1 can chickpeas, 1 can diced tomatoes (with packing juice), 1 chopped onion, 2-3 chopped pealed potatoes, 1/4 cup rice (optional), 1 big handful of spinach, 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp cumin, lots of salt and peper, all thrown together in a large pot, brought to a boil then reduced to a simmer for about 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender and/or the rice is ready. Deadly easy, makes a huge quantity of food, stores well in the fridge in individual sized tupperware, and reheats easily for lunch the next day.
Need to make something chicken-y for tomorrow though, argh, need Martha.
mmmmm... Chris.
