Friday nights are made for....

Chilling here tonight and happy that it is the end of a very busy week.

I took off from work today and the most ambitious thing I did was return some clothes at Nordstrom and then my primary goal for the rest of the day was to take a long, glorious nap. Two hours is a nice long nap. I woke up refreshed and feeling better. So goal achieved in all ways.

Then I made some chicken soup which is my new thing that I can make. Home made soup tastes so much better than the store soups. It is fresher and I like getting to control the seasoning. I also like that the veggies are not totally overcooked to oblivion. I can't even eat store soups anymore - now that I know how easy home made soup is to make. I am ruined for Progresso Soup or Campbells now. I cannot eat those. My mom sent me a Soups and Stews book by Cook's Illustrated and there are lots of good things in there. The other thing I like about making soups is that there are lots of ways to improvise and adapt the recipes.

I am trying to decide what to do with my weekend. I think I am going to Santa Cruz on Sunday but Saturday is open. I do need to get chores done at home and do the dreaded laundry but perhaps I could spare some time to go see the latest Marvel movie - Deadpool. Seems like a good thing to see. I love the Marvel stuff and have heard some good things about this one. Seems different but I will give it a go. I like new characters. I have not read the Deadpool comics so I have no idea what it is about. Also - I like Ryan Reynolds.

So here is a thing. I am really enjoying the Slashy Valentine stories that have been posted in the archive for this year's Slashy Valentine 2016. You can find a listing of all the stories and links to them here -

I hope you will read some of the wonderful stories that have been posted by the very talented writers in the Tolkien fandom.

SO that is all I have for now.
