Old Fashioned Glazed Donuts

Starbucks has the best "old fashioned glazed donuts" around.  The one in Yardley got me hooked, and now every time I go to a local Starbucks, I have to have one.  Pair that with their bold coffee, and you won't go anywhere for hours.

I got a wrist brace for my ailing appendage, and it's really helping a lot.

I had a pretty good Christmas weekend.  It was brief thanks to the weather.  Mother Nature dumped 8-10 inches of snow on us (18+ in NJ).  I left early Christmas Day because of that, and I hit nothing...all dry.  I wouldn't consider that luck, though.  It all kinda just got dumped over the course of about 12 hours.  This was nothing compared to February's twin terror blasts of winter over the course of a week...a lot of it has melted already.

My time at Parties and More is winding down for the time being, which is good and bad for me.  First, it's good because I have a bit of time now to catch up and develop my career, evaluating successes and acting on ideas I've thought of recently.  It's bad because that's half of my income (or at least it was...January-May is very slow for MLA too).  I'm sure I'll be getting another part-time job to hold me over until the summer, but don't expect me to be traveling too much.

As for the immediate future, tomorrow night I'll be playing at the Pyramid Club in Center City for New Year's Eve.  It's $135 a head...the club thought they were doing MLA a favor by asking only $110 for MLA guests.  I wouldn't pay $50 a couple for a New Year's Eve bash.  I'll just host my own.  Anyway, it's on top of a skyscraper, and it'll probably be really cool.  I just wish I could spend it with Kerri.

Saturday is the Mummer's Day Parade...nuff said.  Sunday is the Eagles vs. Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.  Kerri and I have tickets, but we don't know now if we wanna go.  We're probably going to sell them because 1) the Eagles are playing for nothing, and 2) the starters will be sitting most of the game.  It will be just like a preseason game, except it's against the Cowboys, and as much as I don't like the Cowboys (because nobody likes the Cowboys), it's just not worth it, and we could use $180.

Unfortunately, tonight, I am unable to attend most/all of the party tonight for Kerri's siblings, The Triplets.  They turn 21 and Kerri planned a party for them down in Philly, but because I have to make money, I cannot attend until later.  To Meghan, Samantha, and Larry - Happy Birthday, and don't get arrested or flip over a dumpster.

That, my friends, is my week ahead.  Thanks for reading, and I'll keep you posted on more mundane happenings as Old Man Winter kills the mood.
