the complex

First things First:

Don't we look snazzy? Note the double-windsor knotted tie.

************************************************

I've been a cleaning machine this morning. Lots of vacuuming, lots of dusting...

Last night, we moved the little drawer thingy that holds all the dvds so I could vacuum under it this morning, and I swear there was another cat growing under it.

Also, I've got all the christmas stuff up. Nativity set - check. Teeny village - check. Christmas wreath - check.

Reminder to myself - next year buy antlers or a santa hat for our giraffe. (3ft tall plaster giraffe that has been in my house since I can remember.)

*************************************************

Last night Jason and I celebrated the lack of news about his transfer by making chicken marsala. The chicken turned out wonderful, but next time, less lemon, less butter, and sweet marsala. We used dry.

Tonight we are going to celebrate the lack of news about his transfer by making ribs.

Marsala is waaaaay messy by the way. I knew the frying chicken part would be, but the actual marsala part was the worst. We ended up with a stove covered in little marsala splatters, and I was wearing my favorite shirt, which also ended up with little marsala splatters. Note to self: Don't wear favorite shirt when cooking. Ever.

**************************************************

I'm sad today because I discovered the source of my magic bookcase. (A while back, whenever I needed a flake book to read, I'd go to the bookcase, and magically, there would be the perfect book, that had never before been read, and never before noticed. This happened 3 or 4 times in a row.)
It was Jason. Apparently some time ago, he bought several books and just never read them. Why I never noticed them before, I have no idea. Selective eyesight I guess.

**********************************************

One of my favorite things about being married is that 3 am conversations aren't a big deal. I've been having sleeping problems since Jason went on deployment. Basically, I wake up in the middle of the night and there are so many thoughts going through my head that I just can't relax and go back to sleep. I was having one of those nights last night, and around 3, I noticed Jason was tossing and turning an awful lot. He got up (aspirin) and came back and we had a short conversation. I have no clue what we said, but it settled my mind and I was able to drop back to sleep without problem. I hope it worked for him as well. Or that the aspirin worked. One or the other.
