Herbal Tea has become my new favorite thing! It's such a great way to feel like you're treating yourself, but not really. I'd like to find some new flavors to try; any fellow tea lovers out there that might have some suggestions?

David is a great distraction away from grading these papers and coming up with reading material for my classes. He just loves to cuddle but also play fetch to give me a bit of a break.

Alright you guys. So we have a movie marathon coming up this month. It is back by popular demand, the decades movie marathon. So I would LOVE for your involvement. So give me a list of movies, I will put them in a list by years and then will pick at random to create the best movie marathon this month.

Good thing I grocery shopped before this storm started.

I will not be leaving my house until the ice is less...stormy.

The art store won't be open until it's safe for myself and my employees to get there.

We'll ensure everyone gets paid even with the store closed.

My friend and me
Looking through her red box of memories
Faded I'm sure...

My memory box isn't red, but it did show up in Madison. I don't know how that happens, but I'm grateful. I've had this box since I was a teenager and it contains bits and pieces of my life over the years. Photos, ticket stubs, a bracelet my brother made for me when he was ten, postcards and everything in between. I have some pictures of my family now. I miss them so much. Especially this time of year. My mom has always gone all out for Christmas and she bakes all through the holidays. Everything from homemade bread to cookies and pies. I'd give anything to see and talk to them again. I love you guys. I hope you're all doing well.

Angeline and I are currently waging a war with the management at work.

They put on the Christmas playlist, we change it.

They put it back, we change it again.

Pretty sure the store manager's about ready to just give up.

I have decided Madison Valley needs to become more worldly in their traditions this month.

Which is why I am going to introduce everyone to Mari Lwyd. This will include a horse skull visiting your house, singing rhymes.

That is not even the best part.

The person inside has to sing back reasons why Lwyd cannot come in. If the person inside cannot come up with a valid (or enough valid) reasons for the horse skull to come in...

Then Lwyd gets to come in and raid your pantry and drink your beer.

Was having a conversation with a coworker last night and the subject of Halloween candy came up. Namely, what everybody's least favorite candy is.

Because really, people always ask about "Oh, what's your favorite?" Nah, tell me what that one candy you absolutely can't stand is.

Yes, I know half of you are going to say candy corn. Let's see what everyone else says, too.

Alright everyone. The movie marathon is going to be here before we know it. The abandoned building looks AMAZING. I just want to thank everyone that has been helping out. I really don't think I could pull this one off without you guys. I am putting the finishing touches on things and tomorrow I will be working on the movie list. Lots of fun will be had. Don't forget to wear a costume if you'd like as in the middle of the movie marathon I will have a costume contest with a fabulous prize.

For those who give a shit, Eliot Waugh is no longer in Madison Valley. I'm really only posting this for his boss, I don't care about anyone else.

Oh, and for his people, it appears Josh Rosza is gone too. I tried reaching him when I couldn't get a hold of Eliot, and got the same 'does not exist' shit for his number.

I know this place seems like it wants to be a second chance, but has it brought a lot of people back from the dead like it did me?

Last week was probably the best week I've had since I've been here and this week has been a roller coaster of emotions. I started a new job this week, so I've been basically forced to get up and keep moving forward because I had to get through orientation and all the intake paperwork.

Thank you, Jonathon for being here for me. I don't know how much worse this would be for me if you weren't here. <3

I promised some people pictures of our dinner from last night. First one is Teddy's personal pepperoni pizza. He made it (mostly) by himself. Second one is our "grumps" pizza with carmelized onions, pancetta, mushrooms and extra cheese. Teddy wants to make sure everyone understands that he did NOT have anything to do with the "yucky" mushroom pizza!

This has been a different week, but it's been fun. I met Quentin's son Teddy and he's such a cutie and so sweet. Tuesday we went out for breakfast and had pancakes then we all went for a walk around Madison. Today we're making homemade pizzas for dinner then watching How To Train Your Dragon. I can't wait.

I've been ~~emotionally? Stress?~~ cooking and our house now has too much food, which is impressive with the amount of people now in said house.

Please let me know if you would like any of the following:

five turduckens

ten dozen cookies (of an assorted nature)

four full sized lasagnas

ten jars of homemade marinara sauce

pizza dough

two lemon vanilla bean cakes

four full sized coq au vins.

five venison meatloaf

Our refrigerator literally can't hold anymore food. Free to a good home or good homes.

And yes, I've added to the list and cooked more.
