boyfriend made a pot roast style old school dinner last night which was AWESOME especially for its nostalgia value which is simply that the smell of such a meal transports you right back to grandma’s house on a Sunday, at least if you had a grandma of typical Scottish/British type descent. I made enough mashed potatoes to feed a medium sized army to accompany the meat, gravy, parsnips and carrots, so perfect. I’m a sucker for dorky simplicity, really.

Been feeling kind of bleh, weather maybe, not sure what it is, looking for a spark. Can’t wait to do LOTS of walking this weekend, that’s my plan anyway, get in some outdoor time before it gets really cold, god I hate that, I need to live in California or Arizona or somewhere like that, Canada doesn’t have any good equivalent, I would never do B.C. (which by the way I DON’T consider any sort of equivalent to the kind of happy, sunny weather I crave), I’m just not down with it, sorry if you are from there, much as I hate snow in winter I hate damp grey extended rainy days even more, I’d probably have to kill myself there or I suppose I could acquire a drug habit or become an obsessive and annoying health nut or build a straw bale house and smell like B.O. all the time, those are the main options out there, right?

Anyway….tangent or what? I suppose now I could try to weigh in on some major something or other that has gone on in the world but to be honest, I just don’t care.
