lazy, Hazy Shotgun

Took the day off to watch the girls, and my cold is raging at full force. I'm staying on top of all the cold remedies I know, which is keeping me slightly dizzy but a lot less symptom-y. We'll go out for lunch later and come home to make the mug brownies mentioned below.

I find it especially amusing that the no-fun ordinances are coming in a town called Pleasantville.

NOT good. I do not need easy access to brownies whenever I want to nom.

I want to go to there.

I've had a browser tab open for months with a similar recipe for chocolate cake in a mug. I never got around to making it because it requires hot chocolate mix, which I don't have.

But I've got all the ingredients for this stuff. Oh yes I do.

Hope your cold goes away soon.

I'm fighting it as best I can. My body is saying "hibernate; the cold will be gone when you wake up!"

I would probably also be a few pounds lighter.

Love the animal video!

While I prefer to read a paper paper every morning with my coffee, the NYT skimmer is a good idea. I subscribe to about a dozen such news feeds for work and find the bite-sized encapsulations helpful. This will take off.
