What'd you end up doing about the sauce?
i stuck with the basic mushroom gravy recipe that VF provided me awhile back. shallots, mushrooms, garlic, all sauteed together. make a roux, then combine almost equal parts of beef broth and red wine (i chose Cabernet Sauvignon) until the sauce thickens to your liking. i decreased the red wine though, and added a little heavy cream. yummy

if my phone would cooperate, i'd post a dang picture Ranting

So last night we were watching How I Met Your Mother and Barney said something about pity sex, so I looked at Phrozt and was like, "I could use some pity sex" and he said ok. Which has been kinda a norm recently where I make a sex quip and he ok's it but doesn't follow through. But last night we actually followed through a little bit later into the night. He started touching and attacking and I'm super duper excited, because we did it on the living room carpet and it's been so long since we've spontaneously done it somewhere other than the bedroom, just offa me saying I want some!

I'm really fricken happy! Grin

Looks like a tasty meal (minus the cabbage)

And I got an update that they have another space to move us to once people are out of there. That's good, because I'm already feeling way more stabby than I would be at 10AM on a Thursday.

R was being a royal pain in the tookus yesterday, so I abandoned the dog bed idea out of spite. Which isn't fair to the furball, but oh well. Then R decided to communicate like an adult, and I went over there to cook dinner as originally planned...it was just a couple hours later than intended.
hey you might love his dog, but let him buy the dog bed if the dog needs a bed. Being nice is one thing, but you're still up in the air about full time work. Sometimes youre TOO NICE AG!! Roll

Quote from beanqueen :
We may need to get a fridge soon...what do I need to consider when buying one and how do I find scratch and dents? I don't want to be spending a ton on a fridge but I do want something that's energy efficient. Since you guys are talking about it ...I thought I'd ask for advice Smilie
Well I had very specific ideas in mind, I wanted a side by side fridge on top, with the bottom freezer and an ice maker/water dispenser. I could have done better but that was what I really really wanted. I shopped around forever and couldnt decide. So finally I called MOM the professional shopper.
I dont mind having a floor model, as long as there was no visible scratches/dents. There
is fridge paint made special, if you do decide to go that way. Dont use regular paint vomit So just go walk around the appliance stores, even Lowes/HD. Use store coupons and dont be afraid to be a lunatic negotaiator. Thats where Mom was just worship I gotta tell you, that woman has balls (figuratively, Chewy). The guy would be OK well theres this model, it was A, but its floor model so we deduct B making it C, and if you buy today, you get no interest for a year, blah blah. So mom's all well how about X? Ridiculous lowball Rofl2 but it works, becuase then he's oooh well ok D. HOW ABOUT FREE DELIVERY? What about this other fridge? So we look at about 5 of them, and they guy is thorougly :omg by then, and she goes back to anohter really expensive one and says well what was this? And names a price for a cheaper one.... Anyway I was really satisified. Haggling pays off. And if they say no and you walk away with nothing, whateves. Theres always another deal around the corner. Make yourself a budget in your head and know you won't spend more than that. Everyone will say CL if you want something cheap, and you can get something for a person remodeling or something, but prepared to fix it or toss it in a month if it breaks Dontknow

Well, the crowd definitely skews older, what with it being a wine/coffee/tea place, but there are a few younger people here and there. But I could see showing a fortysomething a good time

I have to wait until at least June 30 to be rid of the idiots I've been dealing with for eight years. That doesn't sound like long, but it's six frickin' weeks!! Ranting

The odors are giving me a headache too. I keep having to go out to get some air. Might even consider having to request working from home on a partial basis until we move.

Yeah, I'm scared of haggling. But I guess I gotta buck it up and start looking. I should probably figure out the dimensions I want to. Phrozt is just getting worried cause the fridge makes noises and he thinks we need a new one...so I wanna be prepped just in case we need it sooner than later...lol!

Yup, when they announced the resignation of our A # 1 a-hole a few weeks ago, I put a countdown on my whiteboard. It's really amazing how much happier everyone around our office is, these days. The jerk wasn't even located in our physical office, and he still made everyone miserable.

I disagree! I love Craigslist. We bought our refrigerator for $100 or 75 in great condition and it's still going strong 3+ years later same for our washer and drier.
