this morning i woke and went to work for the first time in 2 weeks. it was hard. doubly hard because i kept having to shove cats off my hip all night long and they just kept sleep walking right back up there and flopping down. little bastards. why do they feel the need to perch on the highest level in the bed? is it some sort of odd superiority complex? i just don’t know.
anyway, the office today was a freezer box full of penguins. seriously, the heat on the entire campus was broken. my boss came in to the gold room and told us that it’s a good thing it’s all one system since this means the president’s heater isn’t working either and thus it might actually be fixed soon.
i spent the day typing with frostbitten fingers, wearing 3 layers of clothing, (including my wool overcoat and a scarf), trying to convince myself that moving beyond hypothermia was an adventure. this all came to an abrupt halt when the boss man came in again and told us that we should all leave because it was too cold to do anything. with promises to bring fuzzy slippers and gloves tomorrow, i took my leave of the polar bear cave.
home again, home again, lickity split. already i am in fuzzy slippers and pajamas set to contemplate the composition of little weenies in their buns. the song is both heartwarming and toe tapping while the treat itself is scrumptious.
I wish my heater hadn’t been working. Did you know that Pillsbury crescent rolls (the kind you buy in a refrigerated can) are vegan? I could buy a package of tofu dogs and make my own bebunned weenies!
you could! so tasty. i bet some kinds of those flavored tofu things would be ok too. especially with plenty of cheese. if only you could eat cheese. well, that is a your loss. maybe you could put in some mushrooms or onions. hmmm…gourmet little weenies!
Ooooh. Veggie sausage links in crescent rolls with sauteed onions. Maybe red peppers. Grilled tomatoes? Really thin slices of zucchini?
Gourmet weenies are the best idea ever!
i don’t have any heat in my house either! we came home today from DC and the house smelled like gas and now mark is forbidding me from putting on the heat since we nearly blew up the house while we were away. sigh.
but i do get to go around in my fleece bag, hat, scarf, and fuzzy slippers. it is a sight to behold.
take a picture, fuzzy.
This gourmet weenie in crescent roll idea is the best. I vote it President Dinner.
update: still frozen. have brought little weenies in their buns leftovers for lunch.
Update: I wish I had weenies in buns for lunch. This is because I’m still wishing I’d had weenies in buns for dinner. Yum.
