I declare awesomeday!
Y'all remember the rules? Share something(s) happy with me. This here post is cheap therapy for everyone!
1. Had friends over last night! This includes a dear friend who I just don't see often enough, and finally got to meet his SO who I've been hearing about for ages. It was an entirely silly fest of awesome!
2. I cooked ALL THE THINGS - and was not exhausted. I must be doing something right health-wise - as I made a last minute grocery run yesterday and then proceeded to prep food for several hours and I did not run out of energy!! woot! I ran out of time when people came so did not get to the last (and experimental recipe), but I didn't have to tap out due to tired, and then still had the energy to socialize while nifty people were over. And without the extra cup of tea I usually need. YAYS!
2.5 The stew was awesome.
3. There is a bottle of black currant wine in the fridge. Nom.
4. Speaking of booze, have discovered that I actually like really snooty bourbon. Which means I now have a new common interest with my partners.
5. DUDE I HAVE SMART FRIENDS. I've been having entirely too much fun nerding out with Words with Friends and Scarmble with Friends. It keeps reminding me I know SMART people. It is awesome.
6. OHAI, I checked the thankyou points I get with my bank account and realized I had enough to subsidize my next vacation by $250. YEAH BABY. I ordered that card so fast!
7. Have discovered that for some reason, local portabella mushrooms (the big hand-sized ones) cost less/lb than the little ones. And it's infinitely easier to wash one or two of the big ones and chop them than clean all the fiddley little ones. Cheap AND convenient!
7.5 Thus one of the reasons my stew was awesome.
8. Next up on the experimental cooking list: PURPLE VELVET TORTE. Yeah baby, a beet-chocolate cake. BWAHAHAHHA!
Your turn! Make with the happy!
