Flu I don’t know if I’m asking too much but I am still battling this stupid plague and it doesn’t seem to want to go away, much to the chagrined of anyone sitting in front of me at any one of the 3 movies I’ve gone to in as many days. This may also be the reason I haven’t gotten any better, I haven’t slowed down that much.
The weekend Just about all my friends are out of town this weekend, including Boytek and the Roommate, so pretty much the only company I have is Rufus and the dog I’m sitting for my friend Leigh, who’s lounging by a pool somewhere near Palm Springs. I’ve been taking Rufus with me when I let Guinness out, just so Guinness gets plenty of exercise in the short time I’m there but when they’re together they’re like 2 Tasmanian Devils on speed. So far today I’ve taken Guinness for a walk, gone to a movie (Factory Girl, really good), made a big ass pot of jambalaya and am about to bake some oatmeal cookies (see the Maggpie for the recipe, only 94 calories per cookie!). When I’m done it’s back to Devil duty. Tomorrow I’m working an Oscar party (pre and post) so I don’t know when I’ll have time to clean the house, let alone rest and recuperate.
IKEA The local IKEA they’re building to house all things fabulous is progressing nicely; they’ve gotten all the exterior walls erected (snicker snicker) so things are looking good for a summer opening. Only problem the Roommate’s house was built in the early 1940’s so it’s relatively small compared to the McMansions sprouting up in the suburbs, so it will be difficult to shop at IKEA and not actually buy furniture since out house has more than enough furnishings as it is. Well, at least tea candles are less than 5 miles away when in a pinch!
So there you go. Enjoy the Oscars tomorrow night!
Update to the update:
I made the cookies and they are fantastic! I did make a few changes, I used Splenda instead of sugar and added raisns. And I used a high end apple butter, Stonewall Kitchen's Caramel Apple Butter to be exact---and I would think $8.99 for 12 oz is considered high end. Two thumbs up!

Yea jambalaya!!!
Boo, it's got bay shrimp in it (but you can't even taste it).
Ikea is awesome, but I wouldn't buy their furniture anyway, it's very poorly made, hence why a Queen sized bedframe is only $0.99! hahaha
I do frequent ours for candles, pic frames, shit like that.
