Not for me, much to do...I need to put plastic up on the bedroom windows.  It's really helping in the livingroom.  This morning when I went to get the paper, I noticed all the air coming in around the door, so while still in my pjs, I got the foam tape out and went around the door. It makes a huge difference.

I also have to hang miniblinds in the kitchen. I couldn't figure out why that window and another feels so exposed...well duh, I cut down 8 trees last spring.  So windows that were blocked in the past are no longer blocked. That means new window treatments will be in order and miniblinds are the easiest.

Then I'm going to sign up for Curves. Usually this time of the year you can get a registration fee waived or at least discounted or even free to the end of the year.  

Finally I'm going to go get a freezer.  At least I can schedule the delivery.

And then....I need to vacuum the whole house and I want to set up the book shelves in the basement and empty all the boxes of books.  

Then it should be time to watch TAR

I've finished one chore this morning.  All of the television-based DVDs have been moved into my room, and the space that was cleared has been reorganized for our main DVD collection.

It says something about me, that the two television series that are best represented (with more to come) are Good Eats and Doctor Who.

Der Brucer has now caught the spirit, and is trying to alphabetize our show tune CDs.  The sound of a crash or three coming from the has been entertaining.   ::)  (And he calls me a klutz!)

DR Kerry, you might want to check your last post.  The shrinkage started there.

Dinner tonight: I've a turkey to roast, one of those $4 specials, the one that didn't land in our freezer.

Now to plan out what the heck I'm doing.

Kerry's post was fine when I first saw it. It may have been my post right after it that caused the problem, but deleting my post didn't help. sigh.

Maybe you didn't notice his was off, I didn't until I noticed the posts below it.  It's odd how the problem moved from the right side of the screen to the left.

While reorganizing things, a TOD occured to me:

What books and such do you find yourself returning to again and again, as reference material?

These don't necessarily have to be non-fiction books!

For myself, with that cookbook collection of mine, there are a few I keep coming back to over and over:

James Beard's American Cookery
Mastering the Art of French Cooking, by Julia Child, Luisette Bertholle, and Simone Beck
Joy of Cooking, by Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker
The Fanny Farmer Cookbook, by Marion Cunningham
The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook, by Matt and Ted Lee
Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook
and Culinary Artistry, by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page.  (This last is more a book of lists, giving what ingredients pair well with each other, what ingredients are often found in certain cuisines, that sort of thing - quite valuable whenever I'm trying to "invent" a dish.)

Der Brucer is now complaining about how much data-entry we have to do on our CD database.  I can guess who he intends to do the data-entry.   ::)

The turkey will look pretty lonely on that plate all by itself.

And he's going to want his Sunday paper (Washington Post).  Which means I've got to head to the store.

(Clarification: Der Brucer will want his Sunday paper.  Turkeys don't read.)

I just received a See's Christmas catalog.  You can now order a box of chocolates with your hand picked favorites.  :)  If only they had this option when I lived on the east coast.

See's has always been the best!

Do they have chocolate covered pretzels?  That's something I discovered a few years ago in Philly.  I'd love to match the concept with See's dark chocolate!

And how, dear Jane, have you only "just" received that catalogue?  It's Sunday - no mail delivery.  Did you forget to pick up the mail yesterday?

Or was Keith hiding it?   :o   ;D
