Though I must thank ITP-Reader Betsy for coming over to the ITP Estate last night to watch Top Chef. And with her arrived a wonderful chicken pot pie. I have leftovers that I will eat for lunch today prior to going to my dental appointment. My contribution last night were salad and wine. There is still some salad left over. 😉 I’ll eat that tonight for dinner, or perhaps use the green/yellow/orange peppers as part of a pasta dish.
Unexpected Free Night
Last Thursday night I was asked to join someone at an outing tonight. I never heard back from her about this since then, and assumed that her inebriation caused her forgetfulness. This morning I checked her Facebook status and saw that her day was made by a call from another guy (I’m actually very okay with this). Looks like I have a free night tonight! Which, is the best thing for me as I need to do Christmas cards and gather the things I plan to take with me on this weekend’s excursion.
Moment Of Creativity
There is a ten-ish minute window each morning where I attain clarity. Lately I’ve been using this time to write software, or take notes which help me later write software. This morning’s creation was the germination of an The Onion-style article about a new Facebook feature [that’s not the one which started the germination of my joke]. I’m going to do a little research to make sure that no one has beaten me to this joke, and if not, you’ll be reading my fictional piece tomorrow.
Okay, putting a final push on this CES release…
Cheers,

Chicken pot pie – one of my favorite foods, though the few times I’ve tried to make it, it just hasn’t come out that great. I really don’t know why, it doesn’t seem to be that tough of a recipe.
We had spaghetti last night, one of my father-in-law’s approved foods. We spread a truckload of mulch in about 2 hours, it went so much faster with 4 people & 2 wheelbarrows. Half was pine mulch, half was cedar. Damn that cedar had some aroma.
Also – Sam’s now has some “nicer” breads, went there for something else at lunchtime yesterday, and bought some garlic bread that was really tasty. Though 5 small loaves is a bit much, but I’ll freeze a couple.
And – the majority of my Christmas cards are in the mail……… just waiting for Allan to get me some fire dept people addresses – that list gets longer & longer with all the different Captains, etc. he’s had now over the years.
You know, I don’t think it’s wrong if you contact said person and asked if you were still on for the outing. Just because she got a happy contact from another man doesn’t mean she might not still be interested!
I’m a huge chicken pot pie fan myself! I can’t remember the last time I had it though. Hmmm…maybe I’ll attempt one over the holidays.
Very true Stacy. In this case I have history including to having gone out on a couple of dates (around this time last year as a matter of fact) with this person only to lose out to someone else. I have no desire to put myself in that situation with her again.
Ah, gotcha! That does make a difference then, especially if it’s the same person!
Damn, I just remembered that the Falcons play tonight (at home even). I no longer get NFL network at the house, pity there’s not a clause in the television contract which allows one of the over-the-air networks to broadcast in the home town when it’s a sold-out Thursday/Monday night game.
Maybe I’ll use this as an excuse to buy more Christmas cards after my dental appointment and go to The Fred to write them out while I drink beer watching the game. 😀
I have a friend that was trying to sell her tickets for tonight – I was not interested in a Thursday night game – getting home at midnight or later just doesn’t interest me. I’d rather watch at home.
I’m pretty sure we have the NFL network.
I’m too old to go out to a game on a weeknight. Even living as close to the stadium as I do it would easily be 12:30am before I returned home, making the next morning really miserable.
Dish Network offers the NFL Network, I just don’t subscribe to that level of programming. And since I gave up being on the beta program which gave me all of the channels I’ve had to get creative with my television watching.
because of a crazy converation with a guy in Green Bay today, I just ordered 2 Happy Schnapps polka CDs. Since I never got to hear Please pass the Schnapps when we were in Savannah, I decided it was time to buy the CD.
If you don’t know the song, you are so missing out 😉
Sounds like some background music for Cheddarhead?
