whispers from the dark

I don't seem to be posting very much these days and the more I don't post the more I feel like I've got nothing to talk about. In fact I haven't been on LJ very much at all of late and I'm beginning to wonder if I should fork out for a paid account anymore. My fanish activity has dropped down to practically nil, I'm not posting very much and I hardly have time to keep up with my flist at the moment. The only thing that would stop me from moving down to an unpaid account is the fact that I couldn't manage snarchive any more, which would be sad because I am rather find of it, even if it hasn't seen much activity of late.

However I have been doing things like going to costume parties, knocking myself out at gym, working, of course, hanging out with best work friend while at work and attending a lesbian hens night. I've also been spending quite a lot of time with the kids and they never fail to amuse. Especially little Miss M who, on Tuesday, became an official walkie-talkie when she decided that it's far more practical to walk when wearing a pretty frock than it is to crawl. Next thing you know she'll be borrowing the keys to the car :~\

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday and to celebrate I'm making potato pancakes with smoked salmon for dinner. I bought all the accouterments tonight and will head straight home to start cooking after work. I have the technology. I can build it!

I am currently carless because Delia is in the old home town being serviced. This is both a good and a bad thing. Good, because having no car forces me to be more active, but bad because on the weekend I have to go up to the old home town again to pick her up. This will be the fourth week in a row that I've schlepped up there and my carpet is screaming to be vacuumed. It's a sorry state of affairs when one is hankering to do housework but events conspire to keep one from dragging out the duster and setting-to.

My life is so exciting :~|

Speaking of gym, I haven't been to stickfighting class since Xmas... My excuse? It's been too hot. Seriously, there's no AC there. Until the temp goes back down to the mid-20s during the day and low teens during the night, it's unlikely I'll be back either.

Ohh...potato pancakes... now I want some plain ole potato cakes.

This is why I left my old gym and joined the one on campus. It wasn't because I didn't think it was a good gym, I just got sick of trying to workout in the middle of summer in a space that wasn't air conditioned!

I had potato cakes on the weekend. Yum!
