The internet has been going in and out for the last few days, and last night I was fed up and miserable over it, so I just sat in front of the tv, moping and watching Castle. Happy Valentine's Day to me!

The internet is still out, actually, as are the phone lines. So I picked up my shit and booked it to the library, where there's free wifi. (Hahaha, "booked it!" Unintentional but hilarious.)

I have so many things to do before Tuesday, but I can't even bring myself to write them down, let alone actually do any of them. I'm excited and not as nervous as I could be, but I still can't shake off this lethargy.

Egg and Croissant Popovers

This one is super freakin easy!

Preheat oven to 325º or 350º? We switched it up about half way through, because we were afraid the egg wasn't cooking? It was, so 325º is fine. Just watch and decide for yourself.

Spray whatever nonstick thing you want in your cupcake tray, I used Pam baking spray with flour.

Line the cups with croissant dough, or Pillsbury Crescent dough if you're like us. We used the XL kind, for optimum doughiness.

Drop egg into croissant cavity.

Season however you like. We salted and peppered all of them, then added thyme and fresh basil according to our respective tastes.

Bake for 20-30min.

Eat and enjoy!

Can't believe how simple it was! We're thinking of putting some cheese between the crescent and egg next time. Would also add basil to all of them, instead of just a few, because it cut the sweetness of the dough and made the whole thing much more savory.

On the day I buy my kindle, I also find out that the closest bookstore, Borders, is closing. This is sad for many reasons, the strongest being that I spent a large portion of my youth there. I bought my first Tamora Pierce book in that store, my first Harry Potter book, whet to more than one Midnight Party for more than one series.

Certainly doesn't help that I went digital on the same day. Feels like I cheated on an old lover and was promptly dumped.

I dunno! I'm tapped out on pictures, f'realz. I just went round my room taking pictures of random things. This dusty guy sits on my Mercedes Lackey shelf, along with adult Simba and young Nala.

Lady : I'm running to the pharmacy, you want anything? Laur : Cookies. Ice cream. Pie! Laur : ...Actually, just get me a bag of marshmallows and a box of Fruity Pebbles. Lady : Uh, it's Walgreens, do they HAVE that stuff? Laur : Yes. Yes they do. Lady : If you say so... Laur : Fruity Pebbles! Not Rice Krispies!

What can I say? When you have a late night craving, you have a late night craving. Mine was for sugar treated with sugar coated in sugar with a drizzling of butter. *shrug*
