I found a book and signed up today. Yay me!
> Question for Santa, is $34.00 too much to spend
on body
lotion? I am fairly certain I would pay that much
for something with marshmallow infusion. Dee-lish.
And if you happened to bring me some for Christmas Santa,
I wouldn't say no.
My
husband just brought me a latte and a ginger cookie
(!) from Bridgehead... plus a pound of coffee beans.
What makes this even nicer is that it's miserable and
rainy outside, and now he's late for work.
<sigh>
That's
my guy.

These
past few days have been all about work. I've been putting
in lots of hours, and will be putting in even more today
and over the weekend.
But
I'm not complaining. I have realized that I am at my
best when my brain is working this way. Perhaps that's
way I have had a tendency to overextend myself. I like
it.
I
worked until past midnight last night. And almost all
the while, Mark was grunting, groaning, sweating, and,
from time to time, even cursing in the kitchen. This
was mildly distracting.
What
a dear. He assembled a CPU cabinet-slash-organizer thing
for our home office. It took him many hours, and then
at the end discovered that there was an error along
the way and had to reassemble a large part of it. At
that point I wouldn't have been surprised to find him
clutching his heart and phoning 911. Poor fellow.
IKEA
instructions should come with a warning:
Caution!
Trying to decipher these instructions may result in
increased and potentially fatal levels of frustration,
anxiety, or a cardiac arrest.
Mark
informed me me that there were extra holes drilled in
some of the boards. And that the unit came with
a few extra screws. I believe my husband, and trust
him implicitly. :)
I
forgot to mention that when I was getting gas in Perth
last weekend I stopped in the Bargain Shop to
pick up a few little (flat) things for PostcardX and
a new hair dryer.
I
normally don't buy clothing in these kinds of places,
but I couldn't resist the purple and red underwear with
the picture of the Chinese takeout box (with chopsticks)
on the front, and the Chinese-style lettering across
the rear:
Hmm.
What would have been a better saying? :)
Made
me laugh. I bought a pair. But this is coming from the
girl who's current pair of undies has a big monkey face
across the butt.
It's
these little things that make life worth living. It
makes me happy that I'm wearing happy underwear.
