State of the Mris report, early December

[mrissa]

We overdid in November, with house guests and such, and I've switched up my PT as scheduled this last week. Between those two things, my butt: it is kicked. The PT change has been neither as great as one might hope nor as bad as one might fear. I believe it represents progress. But not the kind of progress that lets me skip ahead to Park Place and build three hotels. In fact I am still doing remarkably little skipping.

Also, I am trying to let Carter have his head a bit, but between Carter and my subconscious, some things are coming out wrong. "If you're some kind of desert spirit, you should act like some kind of desert spirit, that's what I say," is what I meant. What I typed was about dessert spirits.

I mean, we have ice wine in the fridge, but I don't think it's strong enough to qualify.

I'm just sayin'.

Huh. I like to pair up with chocolate and cherries whenever possible, my coloring is kinda dark, and I'm fairly sweet and pretty strong to boot. Never thought of it before, but perhaps at heart I am port...

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Whereas I have always been starboard.

[miz-hatbox.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's true, even my politics are left-leaning.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say I lean to the right, but the word starboard and the color green and all that. And also I am very bad at resisting a joke like that if it seems likely the other person wasn't thinking along those lines.

*sigh* I'm no better at resisting a joke. In fact, I've been mightily trying to work in a comment about how I've even always lived near water... but I can't come up with a non-awkward way to do it so I give up on that now.

Mostly because I'd rather Google things on your Stuff-we-didn't-buy-to-save-Christmas list...

I am Mrissfully resisting a domestic beer joke here.

Also, my next book is totally not called What We Didn't Buy To Save the Christmas. But if it didn't already have an irreverent nickname....

[miz-hatbox.livejournal.com]

The reference to the resisted joke is duly noted and groaned at.

You know this is actually the sort of thing rowers go around saying, right? (In addition to asking each other our ages and weights. This is why rowers are so often not welcome in polite company.)

For the record, my husband is starboard. I am ambisweptual.

Is the ice wine Inniskillen? You may remember my ice wine story from Worldcon. That was Inniskillen.

(Also, on my flist page the line wrapping was such that the first line ended with "Between those two things, my butt:" and I was trying to figure out how it had wound up between house guests and PT. :-)

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

No, it's something else.

[fidelioscabinet.livejournal.com]

I have a recipe for ratafia...

When I was younger, I kept getting that confused with raffia and getting very confused about various parties and suppers in books.

What kind of spirits would emanate from desserts, though? That's what I wonder about.

[songwind.livejournal.com]

Clearly this means you need to have ice cream with my family.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Well, I do have a plan related at least peripherally to that idea....
