V day dinner was fabulous, still enjoying it tonight (a 13lb turkey and matching quantities of stuffing and potatoes, doesn't get eaten in one night - and so much gravy, holy shit, it was epic and rich). Cheese dip with the small crock was excellent. The cupcakes didn't come together, but the wife used the pumpkin puree and made some amazing cookies, almost like soft biscuits / tiny thick pancakes (in fact, I dipped mine in maple syrup).
Lots and lots of drinks, and late-late movies, so at some point, I tossed up an auto-reply in email and said, f*** it, no work today, slept late (which I never, ever do ...).
Got some great swag, an amazing, huge, thick cast iron skillet (so a gift, but really for the whole family), and we scored the little G several things on her Amazon Wishlist (Switch and K-pop goodies), got the wife a super nice cooler for [possible upcoming] trips, deck, beach, this is one of those high[er] end boutique brands, that's bear proof (seriously, it'a a specification), in testing it went 4 days, in 95+ degree weather and retained ice (again, sort of a family gift since everyone benefits).
Ugh, today, we've been on a very serious weather watch, like making sure everyone is on deck to duck into the closet under the stairs due to several tornado watches/warnings, another squall line is headed our way, with "tornadic" movement/structure, so we're on deck this evening again. Mostly, being this close to the coast (~2 blocks) prevents certain types of weather, like this, but still like to be on alert (our phones are constantly buzzing).
OK, opening some doors, on semi-high alert ...
