Rejoice in what I carry in my heart

The past few days have been equal parts food coma, feelings explosions, and the work fatigue, but I am refusing to focus on the negatives-- this year has held too much of that-- and will instead consider my blessings.

1. I finally tried the Thai food joint I've walked by nearly every day for six years. It was delicious XO
2. My holiday credit card bill was 200 less than I thought it would be.
3. There are approximately a billion amazing Yuletide fics for me to read. :) Expect rec list on Wednesday!
4. The Sherlock movie made me *think* afterwards; pretty good for an action flick
5. In exactly on month, I'll be getting ready to fly out the next morning for DC :)

The Yuletide fic has been posted. 

So many typos X0

I love you Yuletide!

I spent far too much time last night obsessing over the letter (and mostly because I was incredibly uncomfortable even listing a non-canon ship, because you guys know me), but I'm happy I worked on it yesterday instead of today. It was definitely A DAY at work, and I really was good for nothing beyond squeeling about Yuletide assignments with Angie & Sage and watching Sage play the new Zelda. Stop making Link jump to his death, Sage! In all seriousness, I love this game you guys, I almost want to by a wii just to play it myself X0. Although the grass to loot ratio SUCKS. 

Plans are quickly progressing for our THANKSGIVING: COOK ALL THINGS & WATCH ALL THE MOVIES fest-- Fyre is coming down from Berkeley, and I'm researching methods of creating exceptionally tasty vegetable stock so Sage can nom nom nom on my stuffin' muffins. If any of you guys has a suggestion, I'm definitely tossing this entry open! Right now it looks like cooking down A LOT of vegetables for a lot less time than a beef or chicken stock. A lot of recipes are calling for a turnip. Which is making me conflicted. Do I like turnips? Do I hate them? I'm not sure. A trip to Whole Foods might be in order to establish where turnips are on the Kol Spectrum of Nommy Food :/.
