    Fantastic dinner with my college buddy Liz! (@ Akasha w/ 2 others) [pic]: http://t.co/yJ4w1sh4


    @drkknits Lovely post!


    Frickin’ freezing in LA. Almost broke out heavy winter coat and we’re not even in Indiana yet. Also, snowstorm forecast there for Fri. #fml


    Oh crap. Just saw weather map on Facebook. Prediction of 3-6″ of snow landing smack dab on my Dad’s house.


    @drkknits Not sure if jet lag or we’ve caught flu from niece and neph (both sick). Probably latter. Still having fun tho.

    It is frickin’ freezing in LA tonight. We almost broke out our heavy winter coats and we’re not even in Indiana yet. Also, my Dad called to gleefully tell us about the snowstorm forecast for Friday there. He used the words “Arctic blast.” We get there Thursday morning. Crap.

    Somehow only one kid managed to get tar on himself, and it was the oldest one. @ La Brea Tar Pits http://t.co/XZFW89X3


    We heard this place had good burgers. (@ Five Guys) http://t.co/d6sC634v


    I just unlocked the “Flame Broiled” badge on @foursquare for checking in to burger joints! Cheeseburgers all around! http://t.co/78xqLyY1


    Five Guys and then Menchies. I feel a stomachache coming on…


    @drkknits Haha. I usually never turn it off!


    @drkknits Ah, yeah. My lappy is quite old and the battery doesn’t hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

    @drkknits Nope. I expected my luggage to go missing and Christmas to be ruined, but it wasn’t.


    The Carbos take their gingerbread houses very seriously. http://t.co/3PW1tE2F


    @drkknits Maybe their schedule is messed up for Christmas…


    @drkknits Nice!!


    I told you I’m not the best cookie maker in the family. http://t.co/F6p2SijO


    @drkknits Yes. Just settling in now. Snooky had a brief nap earlier, but I haven’t slept since plane (and that was crap).


    @drkknits I have a theory that oven runs hot. It definitely has a hotspot at back right corner.


    @twelveeyes @drkknits I wasn’t aware of this either, and it’s my oven!


    @LeeanneField Waves exhausted from my sister’s house in LA…


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes Wait, what? You can set a temp. The fan is fan-forced. Then turn the 3rd knob to change temp!


    @web_goddess @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes When it’s on grill, it shows percentages. When it’s on normal use, it shows temps.


    @web_goddess @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes This is the manual, if that helps. http://t.co/aK809QjX
