Work today was as dead as it was insane yesterday, and more baggers than cashiers had been scheduled, so Himself went down the row asking everyone if they were interested in taking a half-day. He kept getting turned down, till he came to me: I felt a little bewildered yesterday, when I came back to find the place utterly mobbed, so accepted the ( Read more... )

One of my shield dragons grew up yesterday, and I rescued this cute little regular black dragon. I've been seeing a lot of them on the abandoned page lately, and I hope people aren't ditching them because they wanted an alternate black dragon... Well, all that matters now is this little guy (gal?) has a nice home now. Clickys please to help them ( Read more... )

Since last week was so dang cold and I was too upset from the hunt for my bank passbook (which we found later in the day I got the new one), I have two weeks of errands to get done over the next couple of days ( Read more... )
