1. It was Farmer's Market Day in downtown State Capitalville. I got a lovely large bag of lettuce, 2 vine-ripened tomatoes (no pesticides), a ginormous chocolate chip cookie for DD, and a triple-chocolate brownie and a bag of freshly-popped popcorn for myself. I have, alas, already eaten the popcorn, because I simply couldn't wait until 2:30 -3:00 to eat it *headdesk* Well, I'll just have to eat the brownie this afternoon, that's all!
2. Poor Mr. Annearchy. His
shingles aren't starting to improve yet; he's got another 6 days on his Valtrex prescription and the left side of his forehead makes him look like a pale, battle-scarred
Klingon. His eye looks even worse than yesterday, and the major nerves in his forehead are so swollen you can tell where they lie in/under the skin *pets him*. He had to buy books alone today (both of his employees are out for various reasons) so I suspect he's going to make an early day of it because the shingles are making him feel miserable. We are attending a reunion of one side of his family in Illinois on the 16th so I hope his face has started healing by then.
3. DD's birthday is in 2 weeks. Her party will be either August 23rd or 24th. Fortunately she wants something small, just the three of us and maybe 4-5 friends. Damn, I need some ideas. She doesn't like the only roller-rink in town, she doesn't like bowling, and she doesn't want another party at a park. All I can think of that won't bankrupt us is going to a miniature golf place. Hmmm.
4. How did it get to be August 6th so soon? Wasn't it just the beginning of June a few weeks ago? Okay, maybe not. Sigh.
5. Is anyone else watching America's Got Talent? Do you think ANY of these people are worth a $1 million contract? Discuss amongst yourselves.
6. Is it November yet? I can has David Cook's album now plz. Thank you. (See "MUSIC" note - has anyone found the missing footage of Cookie singing this? That would be made of awesome.)
