1. I am at work at 8 am again. Weird. I sort of like it.

2. Last night I got [livejournal.com profile] gwangi to watch Pushing Daisies with me. That show is so pretty on his tv. He also made me dinner which I am a total sucker for.

3. I hate cramps.

4. I have this weird urge to make pickled beets.

5. Baking night tonight!! Eee!!

6. I am trying to figure out a date for tomorrow night. There is the City Pages wine tasting but I am not that fond of wine. I wish it was warmer because I would like to do something outside like hiking or walking around the lakes.

7. My coworkers are weird.

8. One of my coworkers has a roomba and now I really want one.

I made molasses cookies last night. But they didn't turn out the greatest *insert sad face here*

:(

Which recipe did you use? This recipe is my favorite one.

[identity profile] faeryguinevere.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a new recipe for me and involved melting the butter, which made them really flat. Your recipe looks much more like what I want. I'll have to give it another go.

The trick to that recipe is making sure you beat the butter and sugar until they are fluffy!

6. I don't know if there's anything playing you're both interested in seeing, but a movie at the Landmark theater in Edina followed by dinner at the Edina Grill is a nice date! There's a reason Dinner And A Movie remains a classic; it's always an enjoyable way to spend a Friday night with ur sweetie. :-)

That is what I was thinking. I just wanted to see if there was anything else going on. :)

Roomba!! I've really wanted one too. They're so interesting to watch when they sing and twirl around (in addition to the floor cleaning properties).

I am seriously thinking about impulse buying one. I have enough overtime to pay for the low end of them and it would make me feel like slackerish.

I have a Roomba in storage. I don't really need it - I have hardwood floors. Interested in acquiring it for a modest price? It works fine, though it hasn't been used in a long time so it might need a battery. How does $50 sound?

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! Even if I need to get a battery that would be worth it because I am not sure how well it will work for me. Eee!!!

BTW, yesterday I drove along Minnehaha creek and I think I know what tennis courts you were talking about.

Ok, cool. Then you know where I live. Go up the alley one block + four houses north of those tennis courts, and look for the garage with the magnetic poetry all over the door.

LOL.

So, would you like me to stop and get it this weekend?

[identity profile] phoenixredux.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, that would be great! Earlier in the day is better on Saturday or Sunday, and I'm around tonight and tomorrow in the evening, too, I think.

6) Hmmm . . . well, that answers my question about if you were still intending to do Indian food tomorrow night.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Dammit, I am so bad at time. I was thinking that was *next* week. Doh!

[identity profile] bella-phenomena.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Next weekend, Yaron is on call, so we won't be going Friday night.

It's no big deal. We've both had rough weeks, and we could probably use some more quality time alone.
