Thursday Morning Rambly Bits

-- We're having what I've termed "snizzle": could be snow, could be drizzle.

-- Due to the weather, many of my coworkers chose to work from home. Because of them and the coworkers traveling for various reasons, the office is really quiet today, to the point that I was the first one in the office today.

-- I have discovered some games for my phone that are addictive (Ticket to Ride, Where's My Water?). I am now looking for people to play Ticket to Ride with.

-- A fanfic project I've been pondering for a while just became both easier and harder due to a casting spoiler. ::ponders some more::

-- We have achieved Purim costumes for Muffin and Squeaker. Tried them on last night, and they were adorable.

-- Speaking of Purim, this year I thought ahead and got mishloach manot items at BJ's when I last went. I just need a couple of items and we can assemble them.

-- Speaking of assembling, check out the new Avengers trailer from Marvel UK. It's really cool.

-- Today's date makes me think I should be humming Sousa music all day. So does Sunday's date.

-- It's 1 March and already my grocery store has put out Passover food. This is ridiculous.

-- With the warmer-than-usual weather we've been having, the trees are confused and some of them are budding. So, of course, I'm having my annual Spring allergy attack. Spring allergy attacks should *not* start in February.

-- It's Thursday, and I have no clue what I'm making for Shabbat.

Where's My Water?

Looove that game.

A coworker told me about it. I'm just starting to explore it, but after playing the free version a couple of times I decided I needed the full one.

Passover is the first weekend of April this year, so it's not that early. Mine had it out as soon as they cleared the shelves from Valentines Day.

True, but since Purim hasn't yet happened, I was a bit distressed to see them push aside the hamantashen for the Passover food as early as this week.

Yeah, the S&S on Harvard put their Pesach stuff out on 2/13. I was irritated b/c I was there to get some pareve cookies for a work meeting and the chametz was already gone... almost 2 months before Pesach. Oy!

Which BJs do you go to?

I had the same experience on Tuesday night (wanting pareve cookies and only finding Pesach cookies), but I managed to find some pareve hamantashen, so we ate those.

And I tend to go to the BJ's in Waltham (Seyon St., which is what Gore St. becomes). Occasionally we go to the one in Stoneham (that used to be our default one until Waltham opened).

Oh, is that what snizzle means? I understand Snoop Dogg now!

Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?

Fo' drizzle.

I was in a Stop & Shop two weeks ago with sales on Pesach items already... and a tiny display of hamantaschen.

I think it's ridiculous, though I recognize that they probably have much greater revenue from the Pesach items than from the hamantashen.

Do you mean the Butcherie? If yes, did you see if they have oat matzah yet?

I'm up for TTR:Pocket for sure.

You can find T & I on TTR, ask your husband...

T is a big fan, and I dabble :)
