Mmmmm sweet potato awesomness <3

Ugh, I hate protesters. HATE THEM. I mean, except for ones who are actually doing something important and productive, like the people in Egypt...but the kids around here protesting violence in hockey? LOL NO. Go DIAF and stop blocking traffic just because you're bored and stoned and think it could be fun. Space-wasting little fuckers.

Um, in other news, I'm totally exhausted, but I guess that's not really news, 'cause when am I NOT exhausted these days?! It's getting worse and worse. On top of it all, I have trouble sleeping! What the fuck is that? How does that make ANY sense at all? Why do those two facts totally and utterly contradict each other?! Arghghhh. I'm like a fracking zombie at work! This isn't the type of job where I *can* be zombie-like, either. Grrrr.

Mike is working on supper. We're having Nat over for dinner. I am so excited! And I'm having white wine too, yay. White wine and cheese. And you should see (and taste) what Mike is making. Cream of sweet potato soup, which I already tried a bit of, and HOLY MOTHER OF THE GODS IS IT EVER GOOD. And there's mashed potatoes and various kinds of sausages too, yayyy-hay-hay! <3

I am sooooo excited for the upcoming St Patrick's Day parade and the 280 parties happening this weekend. :D :D :D :D :D :D LONG LIVE LIVING GREEN! And I mean that in all 3 ways. ;)

Mike said he's going to write it down for you. He made it with a crock pot though, and wants to know if you have one? (It's part of his version of the recipe.)

OMG sweet potatoes. My new favourite gourd/root vegetable. It used to be butternut squash, but then I basically sliced my finger open peeling a butternut squash, so they're in the doghouse. Sweet potato fries are where it's at.
