Lazy Sunday

Posted by Mandy on December 16th, 2007 filed in Housey, Jack Doings

We have about 10 inches of snow on the ground here, and more to come this afternoon and evening.  We’re taking advantage of being indoors for a bit to have a nice home kind of day.  To that end, we’ve made the following so far:

Homemade sour mix (which we have then used to make whiskey and amaretto sours, using lemons, limes, and simple syrup)

For breakfast, fresh biscuits with raw starthistle honey

Roasted lemon/rosemary/garlic chicken (later this afternoon)

We’re also going to try and finish up the last of our Christmas packing and wrapping, and perhaps finish up some of the gift purchasing we need to get done.  It’s tempting to go out and tromp around in the snow, but we don’t have a windproof suit for Jack yet.  We went to go get one yesterday at LL Bean, and OMG–the lines was over an hour long.  For some reason, we didn’t think that it would be quite so insane out there with holiday shopping, but then it has been a long time since we’ve actually gone out to *do* holiday shopping… Jack charmed everyone, though, and was especially flirty with the ladies.  Hello ladies!

Jack seems to be recovering well from his surgery, and thank you to everyone who has asked.  Tomorrow is his 6 month appointment for vaccines and such, and I will make sure his doctor takes a good look to make sure everything is healing as it should.  As much as I hate to admit it, the hiatus of cloth diaper washing has been so very very nice.   While I will be happy he’s healed enough to not need water-resistant healing salves anymore, I will be sad not to have such an easy excuse to use something so darn convenient (not to mention he fights us less to put them on).
