Had a productive day at the office. I was only there about 3 hours but got a ton done and feel much better than I would sitting here thinking about what I have to do.

Then it was off to Petco, It became very clear to me last night while sitting in what will be the new den, that I needed some cat furniture. They love that room and needed a scratching post at the minimum. So I got something a bit smaller thaqn what's in the living room. they all jumped all over it and played and played immediately

While I was out I called my mom to see if she needed anything and....she needed candy! So, I went to Palmer Candy Co. and got a bunch of stuff.

It's more efficient to squeegee it off and consume it.

I'm happy that DADT is done, but am very saddened that the Dream Act is dead

So I made rice krispie bars and put melted chocolate on top of them. It doesn't solve anything, but it tastes good

Ok I think for the first time in years and years and years I haven't seen one of the movies nominated for a Golden Globe

Is everyone out celebrating the holidays?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #133 on:** December 18, 2010, 05:16:12 PM »

Just checked the weather forecast and it's supposed to snow next Thursday and Friday. Oh Great.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #134 on:** December 18, 2010, 05:16:48 PM »

So long is it isn't the same foot plus that we got last year and it doesn't totally screw up traveling....I love the snow

So, this past Thursday was our annual Holiday Potluck at work...it was also the day of my new supervisor's retirement. She'd been at Timberland for 19 years. Anyway, when she announced way back in April (I think) that she was going to retire in December, she came to my cubicle and asked if I could play at her retirement party the song from that show where I wore the Carmen Miranda outfit (you know the outfit). The show was Harlequin Productions' "Stardust for Christmas" in 1995. I sang "Boom Chicka Boom," from Nick & Nora. I have the original Broadway cast recording and I said that I would be happy to play it. Well, I recently remembered that I also have the videotape of the Stardust show and thought that it would be a lot funnier if I actually made a DVD of the song and played that. Well, I did! Everyone loved it! A couple of people suggested that post it to YouTube, so I did! If you want to see me in performance in the Carmen Miranda drag, click HERE.

Today I begin my low-residue diet for the two weeks of my medication regime.

It's basically low-fibre foods, Wonder bread, highly processed things or chicken breasts (no skin or gristle)

Here are a couple of links for those who might be interested in what I'll be eating. It's not a diet to be on for a long time because you miss many nutrients and other important nutritional extras.

Low-Residue Diet

More Low-Residue

It is much healthier than my self imposed diet to treat what turned out to be IMD. I still eat a good amount of basmati.

Several years ago, DR Sandra and I got lost while running Christmas errands and somehow ended up in Pasadena, where a brand new show -- "Plaid Tidings" was running.

So, Richard and I left home about noon yesterday and headed to Oxford, OH, where he met up with other current and alumni glee club members for rehearsal. The graduation ceremony started at 3pm and was quite lovely. We left OX just before 5 and headed to Cincinnati for a surprise 60th birthday party for Richard's brother David at the Montgomery Inn Boathouse. He was, indeed, surprised to find 30 of his friends/family there when he was expecting to have quiet Friday dinner with his wife and their neighbor whose son (their son's best friend) who's home from the service.

What neither David nor his wife knew was that THEIR son Christopher was also home and he turned up to take his father's drink order. I was standing right next to Kathy and I thought she was going to pass out. Christopher has been stationed in Okinawa and recently returned from Afghanistan. We hadn't seen him since Thanksgiving 2007.

It was a fun, festive evening and I kind of blew my diet...

Wow, what a surprise. Was there a dry eye in the house?

I am taking my niece to a birthday party at a place called Fundomundo. You get to jump around and play.

I looked it up. It looks like a fun place without the junk food restaurant attached.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm still laughing a few moments after it's over.

Glad you liked it.

What I didn't see in our Christmas weekend digs was an Internet connection, so, unless there's wireless, we'll be offline from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon (may be able to have a quick Sunday morning check-in if we go to Panera for breakfast on our way to church...)

Then I shall wish you a wonderful Christmas now.
