I sat down to eat lunch and started to fuck around on the internet, and a little voice inside my head said "Isn't there something you should be doing?" No. Go away. "Isn't there something else you're supposed to be doing?" FINE. And then I dragged out my German book. That little voice sounded suspiciously like Eric Renard. Fucking smarmy bastard. Can I trade him in for his brother?

There, Eric. I did my German. Now shut up.

It's Monday. It's Monday and I'm still tired from housework over the weekend. It's Monday, I'm still tired from housework over the weekend, and I have the usual weekend backlog of shipping to do. This is the whiny paragraph of DO NOT WANT.

Yuletide Nominations are open! and will be open until October 3rd, for those of you who, like me, had too many to pare down and wanted to see if someone else would be kind enough to nominate some of yours. Everyone remembers what happens to me during Yuletide yes? Yes. That will happen again. And since I've discovered ways of being MOREBETTER efficient with things like cooking and such, and by the time crunch time comes I should be all moved in, FEAR MY PINCH-HITTING CAPABILITIES. FEAR THEM. Or just point and laugh at me because I'm a masochist.

Today, god, there will be early bedtime please let me manage it. Or there may be a 20 minute nap after UPS goes. After work there will be going home, collecting the boy, and then going over to the house to pull nails out and do a few other things before coming back home and heating up dinner. Yay batch cooking. Without which I would not survive this, I think. I'm going to be batch cooking on the weekends until at least January. Which means I need more recipes that batch and freeze well. Gimme, folks! (Although, heh, once we get moved in I can dig up a George Foreman from somewhere and do hamburgers some nights.) I will say, all this running around and doing crap... well, come to think of it, will probably hit a pause when the contractors start really fucking around on the house, because there will be only so much we can do with their stuff in the way. And then, once we're living in one place instead of two it should tone down some more. And everything that's making me run the Red Queen's race is stuff I like and want to be doing, rather than oh god do I have to call another bank please no. I can live with this.

Right. Back to the grind, there's a shitpile of orders and they need to get gone. Shipping kitty to the rescue! Here I come to save the day!

Part of me feels that we, your caring friends, should sedate you and keep you in a quiet, darkened room until Yuletide is over.

Mostly I just want to throw lots of canon at you and see what happens.

[lireavue]

Remind me: you have lasagna, freezer quesadillas, spaghetti sauce, three-way, what am I missing?

[kittydesade]

Possibly marinated steaklets, if I want to throw those in to marinate and then toss them in the freezer. Minestrone soup for me, sometimes for the boy, and that's about it.

[kittydesade]

Nooooooo. No, my precioussssss. We must have it, yessssss.

Weird, wacky things. For certain.

So you require chicken recipes times a million, is what I just heard. I'm testing that shredded chicken taco bowls recipe from Budget Bytes in the freezer but I bet it does fine. Marinated chopped chicken for stir fry should be quick-ish? Make yourself up a batch or three of teriyaki sauce while you're at it, maybe ditto a batch of sweet 'n sour sauce?

Notrefrieds freeze really well if you're willing to go vegetarian, and they'll add bulk to whatever Tex-Mex you feel like tossing in. Um. No, that's it off the top of my head.
