Happy Friday, Snarkies!

betrothed123 · November 2012

Morning ladies. How are you all doing today?

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. I've been asked to help host and I'm freaking out, although I'm sure everything will work out in the end.

Marrin713 · November 2012

Morning. Off to work and that's about as exciting as it's going to get today.

You'll be fine as a co-host. Is it at your place or elsewhere?

betrothed123 · November 2012

I'm going to be honest. Work doesn't sound very exciting ;-)

It's at my SIL's, which is part of where my nerves come in. I know my place and my oven. I don't know hers as well.

jennylee813 · November 2012

Friday made it! I wasn't so sure, especially after an afternoon and evening of parent teacher interviews!

I have drama rehearsal/prop making all weekend. Oh yeah, and the regular stuff I do every weekend like running errands and cleaning the house.

But Friday also means we get to go out for supper - to a real restaurant. One with cutlery!!!

betrothed123 · November 2012

Cutlery is fancy!

It sounds like you have a jam-packed weekend ahead of you, Jenny.

jennylee813 · November 2012

lol - I usually do. We're a week and a half away from our school's performance in the drama festival, but DD performs this coming week. I also have her parent teacher interviews, a reception/awards presentation to attend and meetings.

At least we've alredy had Thanksgiving! Have you planned what you'll be making for the family, Bethrothed?

I was getting nervous it would never happen!
but I don't think I could be as happy as I will be at 3 O'Clock!

betrothed123 · November 2012

Will you get some down time after the show is over?

Good luck to your DD next week.

I've planned out some of it but there will be people invited that I've never met so we may have to alter some plans. I'm pretty much doing the basics- Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, corn, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, sweet potatoes, and pies.

tlc35 · November 2012

Hooray for Friday! Jenny, that is a lot to do. Good luck Betrothed, sounds like you have a good plan. I officially have a job for March and April and we are planning on seeing the Bond movie on Saturday

misssunshine17 · November 2012

Hi ladies! I'm off to go get a bunch of work done on my car- routine stuff. If I don't go today, I'll put it off until after Thanksgiving, then who knows. Not looking forward to it, but trashy beach read on my kindle to pass the time.

What kind of restaurant, Jenny? I might pick my grandmother up for lunch, there's an italian place in town I've wanted to try for a while.

jennylee813 · November 2012

Yes, once this festival is over there will be a break. This one is a lot of work because the students write the script, produce, direct ... it's completely student driven. We teachers are the supervisory voice of sanity...

It will all start over again in January though, when we start prepping for competitions, but that will be a script that we choose - a more traditional type of situation.

But this festival is great - we see so much talent from all over, and groups travel from across the province to be here. It's pretty awesome, and making this hellish year much more bearable for me!

Sounds like you've got it all under control, Bethrothed!

We usually go to a family type restaurant. There aren't a lot of choices up here; couple of chains, few small family run establishments. It'll be the three of us and a couple that have become close friends since we moved up here. Looking forward to it!

betrothed123 · November 2012

What recipe, Edie?

Congrats on the job, tlc.

That sounds like a lot of fun, Jenny. It's definitely something I would have been interested in when I was in school.

betrothed123 · November 2012

Hi, JCB! That chicken sounds good. I've been busy lately, although I have missed you all. I was going to pop in last week when I had some time but my MIL passed away very suddenly on the third. I was helping with arrangements so I didn't have the time to come through.

That looks delicious, Edie.

betrothed123 · November 2012

Thank you. She will be missed.

[QUOTE]Woooooot! HI B. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? So, my H gets home tonight. Yay. Except I'll probably already be asleep. Boo. Jenny, I was a debate/forensics coach for a year. It's exhausting. I don't know how you do it. <strong>OH. I made parmesan encrusted chicken last night and brussel sprouts with bacon & butter so my lunch is going to be AWESOME.</strong> And Charlie's with me at work again today.
Posted by jcbsjr[/QUOTE]

<div>That sounds amazing! My favorite vegetable is brussel sprouts. I like to roast them with olive oil in the oven and just toss with salt and pepper as my stand by, but they're even tastier with bacon. I'm super jealous of your lunch right now. </div><div>
</div><div>I'm so happy it's Friday. It's been a commuting week from hell. I think people really forgot how to drive this week. H and I are really looking forward to relaxing tonight. He's had a rough week with a new commute because of how Hurricane Sandy messed up the mass transit he usually takes. </div>

betrothed123 · November 2012

Thank you, Edie.

I don't think I've ever tried brussel sprouts. We went to a really nice restaurant a few weeks ago and I got the most delicious chicken topped with brussel sprout shavings but I think that's the closest I've ever come to eating brussel sprouts.

anna.oskar · November 2012

This is how I felt realizing B started the morning thread. I was all "who the eff is calling us snarkies", then I was all "WHOA". Cool story huh?

Morning!

I got nothing but cleaning today. Lame.

betrothed123 · November 2012

I did it for you, Anna. I saw that thread below and knew there was no other way to start this thread

[QUOTE]B2Z, how is it up there right now for you guys? You guys have power back, I hope? My relatives in NJ didn't get it back for about three weeks.
Posted by Edie Bee[/QUOTE]

<div>I'm in Northern NJ, so we're much better off than the Jersey Shore, but we had tons of trees down. On the street adjacent to me there were 8 trees down alone. We had one tree on our property fall down. It was particularly bad because it fell on a police officer who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, who was moving some barricades that had gotten blow over by the wind. Fortunately the officer survived. But the tree had to be chain-sawed apart to get him out from under it and he has had multiple surgeries because of it. We feel terrible since it was our tree. </div><div>
</div><div>Our whole town lost power. Some parts of town got it back in a couple days, but our house didn't have it restored for 2 weeks. They've lifted the gas restrictions so things are also back to normal with that too. I feel fortunate that we didn't suffer as bad as other people, but it was a rough two weeks and the recovery will continue to take a long time. </div>

cwaggoner07 · November 2012

Morning! It's one of our firm's Fridays off so I'm sitting in my pj's sipping coffee. So I worked Mon-Thurs this week and H is working a gig Fri-Sun. How the heck does that work out???

But I have a lot to do today, especially if I want to beat the weekend grocery rush.

I also need to do our parents albums for Christmas. Ugh.

[QUOTE]B227, you need a nickname. I was about the respond to you using 'B' but then that would be confusing. And holy crap about your tree and that poor officer.

<div>If you'd like people can just use Z? H would get a kick out that. He's often referred to as Z or Zman. My screen name represents my last name changing from starting with a B to now starting with Z. </div><div>
</div><div>Anna, that gif is mesmerizing. I'm not even a big "omg what a cute baby person" but I can't stop watching it over and over. </div><div>
</div><div>And to anyone who hasn't tried brussels sprouts, you really should. Super easy to make and healthy too! I hate over cooked mushy vegetables, so my tip would be to keep them a little crunchy. </div>

betrothed123 · November 2012

For some reason I have in my heard that brussel sprouts will taste exactly like asparagus and I'm not a fan of that. Please tell me this is not true.

<div>Totally not true. Well cooked sprouts are amazing. Poorly cooked ones taste like ass though and LOTS of people suck at cooking them.. It's a fine line between suckiness and amazingness.</div><div>

Uh-oh. I'll have someone else make them for me then

I love that gif.

Anna - But of course!

Edie - Morning!!

I love brussel sprouts, but I love all veggies. A little olive oil and sea salt is really all you need.

jennylee813 · November 2012

JCB, your lunch sounds amazing. I haven't 'gotten into' brussel sprouts yet, but they're on the list!

Good morning ladies! I've been lurking for a few days, so I thought I'd introduce myself! I live just outside of Toronto, and am getting married in Sept 2013 at a flower farm. I have 3 cats, 2 lizards and a tiny house for my menagerie where my partner and I have lived for 5 years together. I'll be 30 next month and work with children with autism as a behavioral therapist. Funny that this board is the least 'snarky' I've seen! :-)
