happy days

Since I'm at a loss for snide remarks and rants, I'll put my business education to some good use. I learned how to use them bullet points good.

Highlights from the past week:

* Cracking open a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano for no better reason than enjoying some fine wine with other wine gluttons
* Yet another thanksgiving dinner, thanks to Wonderwoman and company. Included in that are: true gravy made from giblets, access to a clothes dryer for the first time in 3 months, learning the concept of a dental dam
* Prosecco, Chinese take-away, and pizza while watching 'Buffalo 66' and discussing the death penalty and drug trafficking with Ozzies
* Late night ice skating at Somerset House with R (and a colour-coordinated bruise to boot)
* Pleasing friends with culinary know-how (lemon chicken and taleggio gnocchi bake)
* Coffee and pain au chocolat at a French patisserie, overlooking Newington Green on a sunny winter morning
* Learning that the Bank wants me to start ASAP. The upside is that I may get to visit Austin much sooner than expected. The downside? I won't see my mother for a very long time and I may not make it to a certain wedding in April (don't kill me!)
