Imagine.<\/p>\n<p \/>Let&#8217;s see!<\/p>\n<p \/>Monday we were indeed cookin&#8217;. Chris made cream of wild rice soup and I made biscuits with some leeks left over from the soup. Since then, I&#8217;ve been having soup and biscuits for lunch. I&#8217;ve also made a ton of cranberry sauce, dal with vegetables, and tonight I&#8217;m making a giant fruit salad and vegan pumpkin pie for the potluck tomorrow. I&#8217;m practically Martha Stewart, only I do most of my baking in my underwear.<\/p>\n<p \/>Tuesday I rejoiced, for the Y has put their heavy bag back up. I didn&#8217;t have my gloves then, but tomorrow that thing and I are doing battle.<\/p>\n<p \/>My tree looks so awesome will all those packages under there, I don&#8217;t want to give them out. I&#8217;m sorry, you&#8217;ll all just have to come over and admire what would have been yours. Maybe you can have it when I take the tree down in January?<\/p>\n<p \/>I stayed home the rest of last night and did all my donations paperwork. I filled out forms for 18 checks and mailed them to the 3day, holy crap. I made the payments to Jane and Robin, and I think we&#8217;re all set now on the cookie fundraiser. Next up: Valentine&#8217;s fundraiser!! Or maybe a bowling event, which would rule.<\/p>\n<p \/>Last night I also joined <a href='http:\/\/www.43places.com\/person\/plinko' target='oot'>43 places<\/a>. Because, really, what I need is something to make me travel MORE. Northwest credited my miles for the last trip, so now I have enough for the ticket to Alaska. Since Denali doesn&#8217;t have normal hours til May, I think we&#8217;ll be waiting until then. In the meantime, I intend to go somewhere else. Like Turkey (**insert subliminal message to Lou here**). May is, like 46 years from now. Or something.<\/p>\n<p \/>Ohmygod, I&#8217;m getting a tattoo tomorrow night. Merry Christmas to me! I met with Jon at Uptown Tattoo tonight so he can ponder the design. Once I told him what it said, he got all excited. I can&#8217;t wait. Such an addiction.<\/p>\n<p \/>OK! I just have news we&#8217;re going ice skating as soon as my pies are done baking. I have to get my new skates sharpened!!<\/p>\n<p \/>Til we meet again,<br \/>Jenni<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div align='center'>\n<table border='0' width='400' style='border:1px dotted #cccccc;' cellpadding='8'>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div align='center'><b>your questions, answered<\/b><\/div>\n<p \/><i>q:<\/i><br \/>Is the machinery of capitalism truly oiled by the blood of it&#8217;s workers?<\/p>\n<p \/><i>a:<\/i><br \/>Yes, Kevin.
