Tonight I totally flopped in the kitchen. I don't know how I managed it - but I made an abortion of macaroni and cheese. dave tried - but - well - the pasta was overcooked - I overdid the pepper - and well - it was crap. total. undeniable. crap. CRAP_O_RAMA. shitville. garbage. We fed it to the garbage disposal and had salad for dinner with sliced chicken. LOL!
Now we're by the fire reading - I'm reading 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger. It's beautiful, romantic as hell and just gorgeous. It is an extremely complex novel about a man that involuntarily time travels. Each chapter (some dozens of pages long - some half a page) are at all different years and times in both his and his wife Clair's life. The voice talking is either Clair or Henry. I am in love with it. They are making a movie out of it in 2009 - and I'm worried that it won't even come close to how much I love this novel. (although casting Eric Bana and Racheal McAdams makes me hopeful - because they are just as physically beautiful as I'd imagine Clair and Henry to be....) I am such a sucker for hard core romances like this. (big romantic 50's schoolgirl sigh) It is at a very intense part and I must get back to it. I have a lovely glass of port - and kateydog is snuggled in a circle at my feet up on the couch - and Dave is in his chair doing math "Wavelet and Wavelet Transform Theory". So adorable and so insanely smart. I'm very lucky.
The grandfather clock is chiming in the foyer - and this is just completely perfect.
