today's chai

One should never try to multi-task whilst making chai. An inevitable chai spillover will occur.

This is how my day started. Uh oh, it's not gonna be a good day. I tried to replace it with it a good thought in an effort to reprogram my critical brain. Well, at least I got the bad part over with. The teabag falls into my chai as I pour. Gotta laugh!

The rest of my day has been a vast improvement. My child is actually taking a nap. Is there a greater gift to be had?

Went and bought some groceries and beverages for the Oscar party (of six). We're doing all appys this year. I'm making kabobs (I think), marinated mushrooms and tiramisu (literal translation pick me up). I will likely make something else too. Others are bringing Costco chicken wings, marinated eggplant stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and provolone. I get hungry just thinking about it. Beverage for the night will be cranberry sparklers made with cranny juice and sparkling wine.

Watched Lost last night. Meh! It was a Jack-centric episode. Not too many questions are being answered and the fans are getting pissed from what I am reading on the boards. More questions than answers and too many filler episodes. Will we ever learn about the statue that looks like Homer Simpson's foot? I must say though I am liking Jack more this season than I have in the past. I wonder if he's had a few voice lessons. His voice isn't sounding as whiny as before.

Going for pub night at the Penny Lane tonight with my dear friend. She's busing up and I am going to walk, so much imbibing can ensue. It's no Royal Oak like the old days in Ottawa, but it will have to suffice. We are definitely going a notch down from the last few weeks where it was fine dining all the way. Tonight it will be dodgy draft for us and some very greasy nosh.
