Who made it Monday again?
I know I have three-day weekends, but they go by WAAY too fast. It was a good weekend. I got to have beer with some friends (most of whom are blogless – WEIRD!) (Also – brew review coming soon – I’m waiting for my pictures to get developed. ha. or emailed to me!)
Saturday there was yoga – of a sort – and decaf & scones with two of my favorite people.
There was a lot of homework (and another aced quiz! it’s almost like I’m learning).
There was a long walk with the architect.
A gym date with the kick-ass neighbor.
Some relaxing. Some FANTASTICO homemade tomato soup & pesto cheese sandwiches. (Also, I need an immersion blender – could someone get on that for me?)
There was some Battlestar Galactica (season 1 – the mini series), which I’m ashamed to say I hadn’t seen before (and loved). There was some reading of trashy books (which I’m ashamed to say I loved. Damn you, Eliza with no blog to link to anymore [some day I may forgive you for that] that suggested the first one in the series!).
It was a very good weekend.
And now, it’s Monday. *sigh*
ok so I have been eating horrrrrribbly this week, I need you to kick my ass back in gear!

you’re just saving up for the Challenge!
go eat a fruit RIGHT NOW young lady!
I too could use an immersion blender. Can we get a bulk rate? Yay for soup season though!
gazelle reply on November 16th, 2009:
we may have to find a few more people who want them – 2 may not qualify for any bulk rates!
do i sense an immersion blender review soon? i hope so. i’d like one too!
gazelle reply on November 16th, 2009:
I suppose now I have to! I make a lot of soup, and it is difficult (and dangerous) to transfer everything to the blender. I love kitchen gadgets!
Are those the blenders that you stick into a pot of soup or whatever to blend?
And also, mmmm…. soup. I made a melted gruyere cheese sandwich yesterday for my sicky lunch but alas no soup.
gazelle reply on November 16th, 2009:
There is really nothing better on a chilly day than hot soup & a toasty cheese sandwich (yesterday’s mozzarella, tomato & pesto sandwich w/ my tomato soup was out of this world!)
CilleyGirl reply on November 16th, 2009:
I just had boring tomato soup and didn’t want to spend the calories to jazz it up with chunks of mozarella cheese and cream cheese. But then I spent all those saved calories on bad Burger King dinner.
I’ve never even heard of an immersion blender – but I’m sure I want one. (Especially if it makes yummy soup for you. And cheese sandwiches.)
And how is it that you didn’t see fit to pass on the name of the first trashy book in the series? Did I miss it? ‘Cause you KNOW I have a fiction addiction and I must not miss a fix.
gazelle reply on November 17th, 2009:
Basically it’s a little handheld blender that you put directly in your soup pot to blend everything up after it’s cooked (safer than transferring hot stuff to a standing blender & then back to the pot).
As for the book – the first in the series is “Moon Called” by Patricia Briggs – and it was bad! So bad that as soon as I finished it, I put the next four in the series on my library wait list. I have read numbers 2 & 3 so far, #4 is waiting at the library for me to pick up, and #5 will be published in early 2010, I think. But I’m already waiting. *shame*
I have not brought my camera to work, or even unpacked it from my bags this weekend. But the minute I do,I will email you photos!
