Douglas Adams' Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is $1.99 in the Kindle edition today. Wonderful book.

My eldest turns 12 tomorrow. *sniff* She's asked to try "cricket" sushi (there's a place... there's always a place) and for us to make (safely) edible cookie dough in lieu of cake. I don't know which sounds worse to me. :D

Been listening to Lorde all morning. Just can't stop. Is that a character flaw?

I'm so suggestible. Browsing through Cyber Monday sales, I see a "gourmet melon knife," "cuts thick rind on melon, like a hot knife through butter." Suddenly I've always wanted one. Then I start thinking, isn't cutting through a melon with a sharp knife always like cutting through butter? All shopping tabs now closed.

School started out badly today, but the pumpkin-eating porcupine YouTube video saved the day. Phew.

Field trip on the last day of DH's 4-day weekend: Dim sum! The kids are zipping through school. :D

Smitten Kitchen's Harvest Roast Chicken with Grapes, Olives, and Rosemary is in the oven as I type. It smells soooooo good.

I just handed DD the Elder her first Connie Willis. *sniff* My baby is growing up.

Waiting with bated breath. DH's birthday present is "out for delivery" with Ontrac. Based on past experience, we have an approximately 66% chance of receiving it at all. How they stay in business is beyond me.

Thanks. :D
The gift arrived intact at 8pm. Phew. His birthday is today. Requested meal is chicken enchiladas and I've made a pumpkin pie, his favourite. There's going to be a small party Saturday (and a game of Agricola) for which one of the guests is picking up a cake from a local bakery. We call it a "ho-ho cake" because the flavours are reminiscent of ho-hos (but with caramel too), but it's really much better than that. :D

DD the Elder is doing a fantastic job teaching DD the Younger her math today. I'm going for a short walk with the dog to pick up some salmon. This is the life. :P

My eldest is quite pleased with herself. We were able to go shopping for winter jackets today because of the early finish, and we found her a long princess cut Sherpa insulation thingie (water resistant only, but she already has a poncho) on deep discount. She hasn't taken it off since we left the store. :)

Shoot. Rain and cold. So much for Not Back to School Day at Oaks (Amusement) Park today. At least it's open next weekend, so we'll make up for it then.

My youngest finally wore me down and I put Goblet of Fire on her Nook. I hope she can get to sleep tonight.
-
Ahhhhh, combining the best of all worlds: Just poured myself an Overcast Espresso Stout. Nummy.

Clarifying butter to make the last popcorn DD the Elder will be eating for two years. Tomorrow she is getting braces.

School today. Fill in the blank: John, Paul, George and ___________. What kind of parent am I that one of my kids didn't know (she does now, thanks to a bit of drill)? They can name all the Monkees.

:D Did you rectify that?
Mine know who Bill Murray is... but that's because he's Bill Murray. Oh, and Gilda. But not Chevy.
I didn't really relegate the Beatles to school... we're calling it a musical field trip. The kids have heard most of the songs, but not in album order. We're on Magical Mystery Tour.

It's been a field trippy week: mummies (second visit), swimming and exploring at Lewisville Regional Park, penny arcade this afternoon, tide pools at the coast tomorrow. I don't want summer to end.

Sam Rockwell. Can one ever get enough?

If I had a rocket launcher...

Netflix PSA: Resist the urge to delete movies from your primary (original) queue. Just don't. No device lacking updated software (i.e. almost all devices) is going to see what is in your new queues.
