It's cold dammit...I want a nap.

Today we are having really crappy cold weather. It's not snowing, but there has been some "rain". I say "rain" because it's freezing to the ground and everything else. I guess you call that freezing rain. heh.

Don't mind me, I am just going through that mid-morning brain spin-down that makes me seriously consider a nap. With this weather, it's even harder to stop thinking about my cozy, warm bed with all those comfy, soft pillows.

I've been cooking soup quite often lately. Soft mushy things in big warm bowls. Yay.
Senagalese Peanut Soup - quite tasty, I am sure also high in calories, but peanuts are good for you and all that.

Alpine Cheese Soup - not made with swiss cheese, as the name sort of brings you to think it might be. This is just ok, tho I skipped the brandy at the end cuz i didn't have any. It's made with Gorgonzola which is a pretty strong flavor and not my favorite as the main flavor of a soup. Maybe i should add some brandy to the leftovers and see if that makes a big difference.

Ryan Update: He's gone back to the job he quit, tho with some very important adjustments. Guarenteeds base salary as well as a reduced work week. He's also, I believe, continuing to look for other work in the spare time he now has. AND....spending time talking to his girlfriend. She's a big fan of the new arrangements.

He's coming to visit right after Christmas. Another big YAY!
