1. Today I took a deep breath and braved Publix for pre-Thanksgiving grocery shopping. It wasn't too bad on Tuesday afternoon, but the portents of holiday insanity were visible. For the hell of it, I decided to attempt my first-ever pumpkin pie as a hostess gift for my friends. I bought supplies for two pies, so I can use the first as a trial ( Read more... )

1. This posting-only-when-I-have-something-to-say thing is weird. I feel quite out of sorts.

2. Last night I watched Heroes... and I liked it. Wow. Maybe that is the real apocalypse. I decided to ignore all my problems with the writing, characters, and acting, and just watch it at surface value. Excellent decision, and I was entertained. ( ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning, packed my tiny suitcase, cuddled my even tinier nephew one last time, then got in my mother's car for the trip to the airport ( Read more... )

Time to vent, thanks to the idiots at my optometrist's office. ( Screwing me out of a new prescription. )

Since I started back to work four weeks ago, I've had really horrible insomnia. It's driving me crazy, and maybe y'all can help ( Read more... )
