Skiing tomorrow

I think we're really going to this time. And hopefully we'll have some gorgeous weather to go along with today's clear blue skies. If I do mortally injure myself, I do hope it will be on a beautiful day.

Also... this means I won't be around tomorrow. I know. You're all terribly sad I'm sure.

So I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and Thursday.
Due to the skiing I won't be watching Bones right away. But I'll be sure and discuss by early next week.

Drive

I'm lacking just a bit in motivation today. I have a few things on my To-Do list. Nothing huge. Nothing really pressing. But still. They need to be done. And I'm getting paid to do them. I'm just not actually getting anything done.
Today is just a one of those days I guess.

The Weekend Recap

But FIRST! I'm having a Sprite and some chocolate for breakfast. Just the way to start off a morning. With a breakfast that is fizzy and sweet. And it will help me feel bloated and gassy later. Just the way a Valentine's day should be.Ah.
Now. On to business. On Saturday Peter and I did indeed get to do those two things I wanted to do. We hit The Copper Onion in downtown Salt Lake for a rather ritzy brunch and then on to the Broadway Theater to see the King's Speech. Brunch was really good. I'm always drawn to steak and eggs and Peter had the pasta carbonara... I really liked both. I also recommend their fries if you like thick cut steak fries covered in parmesan cheese. Yup. So so tasty! Also... We topped that off with a slice of berry compote cheesecake and flourless chocolate torte. Ooooh. I need to go get more of that.
Okay. So we strolled the hundred feet over to the box office to pick up tickets, and voila! the guy in the ticket booth gave us free tickets! Which totally justified buying popcorn and soda (We were almost 45 minutes early... so there was time to let our food settle) to support the theater. It needs it! And I need popcorn! I really really don't. But it's SO good. Oh and as a point of interest, we knew the guy who gave us the tickets. I didn't know he was going to be working though so it was a nice surprise. And he was super nice to give us the tix, as he's my old roommate's ex.
And that my friends... was my valentine's date. We spent 50% of the time playing battleship on my iPod. :)
I also recommend The King's Speech. If you're looking for a movie about dedication... this is it.
I hope you treat yourself to a wonderful valentines day regardless of who you're with.

Let's sit a minute

If you're not a Bones fan... you can skip the next paragraph.
I'm going to assume you're sitting at your desk or on your couch/bed... or the floor or whatever. Mostly because my blog is NOT important enough for you to risk reading and moving around at the same time on whatever portable device of your choice that you've splurged one. Did that sentence make sense at all? No? Okay. So last night on Bones, I totally called what was going to happen. It was the only way to get Hannah out of the picture without severely damaging Booth. And Booth and Brennan. This way they get to be made whole and stronger and blah blah blah. I hated Hannah's line about them not being done yet. They're done. She just refused him. Shot him down. Cold hearted. Selfish. There is NO future there now. The future belongs to people that stick around and keep going when it's hard. Commitment. That's what it means. And FYI: FOX... people really shouldn't be throwing rings away. That's a serious investment that a pragmatic and Booth can't afford to lose. Though the romantic Booth probably appreciated the gesture... It's kinda juvenile. Honestly I think it would have made more sense to give the ring to Sweets... Daisy doesn't need to know. Also, if you're thinking about cost it means you're sensible. It's probably a better indicator of responsibility. A pretty valuable trait in these economic times. All in all, I like where you're going. Not so much on how you're getting there. But that's just in the details.
SO... for the people who don't care about Bones: Last night I made this with a Devil's Food Cake mix... really really delicious. It probably should have had a bit more butter. Ridiculous. I know. Also, we didn't put in as much powdered sugar as we were supposed to. My bad. Also I made my casserole again. This time I took a picture. But it turned out really poorly. The photo I mean.The dish was dreamy. Again.
This weekend I'm hoping to see "The King's Speech" and maybe hit up a restaurant I've been trying to get to for some time. We'll see how it goes.
Happy Friday everyone. I hope it's a good one.
You can get up now if you want. You've done the important thing you needed to read on the interwebs today. :) Thanks for stopping by.

Thursday Day

You had better not be as slow as you were yesterday. Honestly!
Wednesday was having a rough go of it, until I got home and he eased up with a few episodes of Glee and one of Castle.
So today Thursday, I'm going to warn you that I expect a smooth, easy day. I just need to get through work quickly so I can go home to make this delicious recipe again and watch Bones with Em. That's all I need.
I hear there's some proposing happening this week. It should be good. Who's ready to watch Hannah turn Booth down? I am!!!

Delicious Creamy Zucchini

Last night Peter and I were trying to decide what to make for dinner.... and because we had Squash and Zucchini that needed used, we decided to make a casserole. It was cheesy and gooey and creamy and probably had more dairy in it than vegetable. Probably not, but it was close. Oh, and it also has bacon. It turned out beautifully. It briefly crossed my mind to take a picture and venture into the food blog realm... but I was too hungry. So we just ate it. And I'm making it again tomorrow. Em is a very lucky girl. Bones night is on again!! Life is good. Oh SO good.

Snow day from Skiing

So I was supposed to go skiing today, and the weather gave me a reprieve. Due to the roads being closed last night... We couldn't make it up the mountain! Yay!  I mean BOO. Right. I now have one more week to enjoy being whole and ambulatory. 

I'm probably blowing this way out of proportion. But what if I'm not?

I'm still excited/terrified.

In other news we had Charlie Chow's Mongolian Beef for dinner. Is that really news? I guess in the blogosphere it constitutes as something like unto news. Maybe.It was tender and delicious. Very oniony. Oh and it was the non-spicy type, so I'm having the leftovers for lunch!!! I'm excited. No terror involved.
