Barkeep, give me whatever. It's been a day!

Early this morning, my dog, in her infinite wisdom, decided to chew up and swallow my disposable razor, which she stole out of the shower. She threw up most of it, but I still had to call work and tell them I would be late because the vet didn't open until 7:00.

Worried most of the day. They took x-rays, and there is still a blade inside of her, but she's been sent home with lots of dense canned dog food to "coat" it as it makes it's way through.
She goes back for another x-ray on Sunday.

On the other hand, I stopped at the Starbucks drive-through after I left her, got up to the window to pay for my coffee, and the car in front of me had paid for it! Someone had paid it forward! That never happens to me!

I took it as being a little bit of good karma sent out from the universe, and so I paid it forward for the person who was behind me. I was happy to do it. Fridays need a bitty bit of caffeinated happiness spread around.

Paige, my dog is now asleep on my bed.

I'm going to a FF viewing party tomorrow night. :)

Hi all!
Been a while; busy holiday season and a long-planned visit to Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter (gift to my sister; a retired librarian who is bonkers about the books.)
Need me a butter beer.

(Sets the automated bartender to "butterbeer" and pushes "GO".)

You know, I actually ran across a historical recipe for buttered beer somewhere recently. It's supposed to be absolutely lovely.

You think that recipe's one of the things they'd bring out to the black when they left Earth-That-Was?

Montezuma Winery
Cranberry Bog (cranberry wine)
Like cranberry relish, but not too sweet.

I don't know why I like this stuff so much, but I DO!

GEE

Yay! Gee is not dead. Stinking Rose; yes; butter beer was a medieval drink. The one they serve at Universal Park is yummy; I've been trying to duplicate it at home with some luck. Hope all are well.

MSA...we had a great time! Stayed at one of the three hotels on the Universal lot so got into the park an hour before the rest of the world! My sister's a retired librarian and an HP fanatic as the books brought so many kids and parents back to reading. Finals...ick.
