Cheese-food, it's what's for dinner

I guess I took advantage of the 4 day weekend---in more ways than just eating and drinking too much---and went ahead and took myself a little blog vacation as well. Better get used to it, next Tuesday I am going on a real vacation to somewhere with sun, sand and surf and probably not a whole lot of internet, so tumble weeds will be blowing across this page. And I think I deserve a little warmth since I am sitting in my cube here at work with my coat on and my gloves on as I type this, which ain't easy. Typing on a laptop is kind of odd with gloves, I keep getting bonus letters in my typing, but since I am freezing it is the only way I can work without losing feeling in my fingers. Our office must be run by Scrooge or our building run by a slumlord, because if it's cold outside, it's colder in here. Not sure where that logic comes from but it was snowing when I drove in this morning, so you probably can imagine it's a little on the fridgid side in here. So thank god for Key West and I am officially counting down the days till next Tuesday.

The Roommate and I hosted the annual orphan's Thanksgiving and I must say it was quite fun, about 15 folks came for the feasting. Everyone brought a side dish or wine and our friend Frankie made the bird so I was freed from the majority of the responsibilities and was able to focus on the stuffing (my own recipe and quite tasty, I must say) and a few side dishes. I even slummed a bit with a comfort food dish, broccoli with a Velveeta sauce, and wouldn't you know it that dish was completely devoured. Who'd have thunk it? Yum all around and a good time was had by all.

I am happy to report I have officially started my holiday shopping and vow as god is my witness that I will not enter a shopping mall to purchase a single gift. The internet is our friend and personal shopper after all and a happy holiday is a click away.

I'm wondering about this beta version of Blogger? Anyone feel it's time I switched? I'm just a little scared about the "no turning back" part and losing my comfort zone. Anyone have any horror stories to report that will scare be away from beta?

And now I leave you with these parting words of wisdom: the worst part of a 4 day weekend is coming back to work a 5 day work week, it's probably going to feel like a 7 day stretch. I wish I were still in bed this very minute and doubt if anyone would even miss me if I had slept in.

Happy Sucky Monday everyone! Try to stay warm!
