There's a Nor'easter in town

Attended a "networking event" downtown today. More on that later

A nor'easter is blowing through which meant traffic was exhausting to get there. (Pennsylvanian drivers are distracted by bright lights and their own windshield wipers.) I was "on" for two hours in a roomful of out-of-work professionals; a little stressful. Then, it took 1.5hrs (did I mention the nor'easter?) to ride out to BFFs for some *homemade* butternut squash soup. She's a mom of two young boys. Believe me when I say this soup is something they will tell their spouses about someday: "I remember when I was a kid, on rainy days my mom would make this soup..." It was THAT good :) However, I left her house late and ended up in rush hour traffic. Stuck in slow-moving traffic was not necessarily a bad thing (did I mention the nor'easter?), since I have TWILIGHT on audio (courtesy of my SIL - thank you!!). I couldn't get the heat right in my car, though, so I was shivering the whole 1.5hrs home. By the time I got home, My Beloved had cooked the best pasta fazoulle of all time and we cuddled on the couch through Thursday night must-see TV. Now, he's back at work and the dog and I are headed into bed with a hot water bottle, a cup of tea, and the latest issue of Real Simple.

I record this all here for posterity: I HAVE THE BEST LIFE EVER.
