« Carnival of the Recipes #18 | Main | Critters at Christmas time »

December 19, 2004

This weekend is so flying by!

We attended a Christmas Party (yeah, yeah, they called it a fricking 'holiday party') on Friday night and another one last night. The first was at the Marriott - very nice - open bar, wonderful food and a live band. John and I slept until nearly 11:00 am yesterday morning, and didn't do much until we had to go to an earlier party last night . It was casual and more fun, I think, then the fancy schmancy party on Friday.

Neither of us are moving too quickly this morning. I have managed to send out emails to the people asking if they would like to host the Carnival of the Recipes in the next few months, and I've been busy filling in all those dates for them.

While I think about that, I do want to thank everyone who sends in recipes to recipe.carnival (at) gmail.com and those wonderful people who have hosted the carnival - it's worked out way better then I ever expected it to! I hope it continues to be so popular.

It's very cold today - it was 9 degrees at 9:00 am. The birds are really eating up the sunflower seeds I have out in the feeders, and this morning, I've had more different types of birds than every before. House finches, cardinals, sparrows, woodpeckers, chickadees, blue jays and even a couple of ugly grackles, but hey, they have to eat too! I'll have to get dressed sooner or later and refill the biggest feeder, it looks pretty empty from the window.

The cats love the bird feeders. They can sit by the window for hours on end watching the birds on the feeders. They get especially excited when a squirrel manages to hang from his hind legs and reach down to a small feeder that is very close to the window. I don't think they like squirrels.

We are going to try to catch a movie today, if we ever get off our buttocks! We have decided on A Series of Unfortunate Events. It sure looks good, so here's hoping!

I suppose I should move my sluggish body around and bathe and dress and all that stuff. See y'all later.
