Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

So one of my fave shows is Private Practice, the Grey's Anatomy spin off, which stars (amongst others) Mr Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs. There's been speculation for ages that he might wangle a guest spot for his wife....and it's happened! Idina's got a multi-ep arc later this season! Squeeee!

The only TV spot that would be better would be if she got a guest spot on Cold Case and got interviewed by Tracie Thoms :D

In other news, it was StillWater's birthday today. We collaborated on cake so as not to overwhelm the office with edibles, but we've still got a ton of stuff. There was a carrot cake which we started and finished today, mini double chocolate muffins and choc chip muffins and treacle tarts. For tomorrow, we've got chocolate cake (that was my choice!), fruit cake, apple slices and many more muffins to chomp :D I just hope we can get into work, forecast is still a bit dodgy. To the point several people gave me birthday cards today in case no-one makes it in tomorrow :P

Talking of which, I really hope it doesn't snow too hard tonight - Rik and Carol are supposed to be coming down from Stockport tomorrow and if the snow stuffs the trains up (again) that's going to put the mockers on our meal out tomorrow night :( We're scheduled to eat here - I love Greek food and almost never eat it, so I hope tomorrow night doesn't get snowed out.

In sad news, we heard today that WatfordFan lost his father in the wee small hours of this morning. We knew he'd been poorly, I don't think anyone expected it to be fatal, but clearly it was more serious than we knew. Poor guy. We've signed a sympathy card and StillWaters is going to mail it to him.

I'm a dozy mousey this evening, I didn't sleep well last night. No reason, just had one of those nights when I couldn't doze off. Eh. Early night tonight for me, methinkest.

From jimbairn, for my birthday. Thank you, CartoonBoy!
