My goodness. I am on a new computer tonight! Do I look any different?? Snail surprised me with it on friday evening after dinner. Its fantastic to get rid of that super old slow mega-peice of bull crap. Hurray, indeed!

He is really racking up the points lately, I tell you. Last night, he had dinner ready for me when I got in late from work at 9pm. I keep telling him to keep me fed and I am a happy wife. Its entirely true.

Speaking of food, the busier I get at work, the sadder my eating situation has a tendency to become. Any hope of bringing lunch goes completely out the door. Today, i was getting a salad at Subway for a change and realized I had no wallet. Then I realized I had $2.08 in my pocket which only left me with one option in that vicinity. Taco Bell.

I managed to dig 4 more pennies out of my purse. There was no hope of finding any change in the rental car I'm driving...... so I was still .02 cents short of a small dr. pepper and a beanurrito. As figured, the cashier didn't notice and I ate my lunch.

Last night, i got in a car accident. (fender bender - not my fault). Tonight I got stung by a bee on my arm while eating a taco outside. Wonder what tomorrow holds in store for me? I can't wait.

Tonight, Snail and I left the house for something other than dinner. We went to an art talk in a small place with about 15 people. There were paintings and glasses of wine. The end.

Now, we are home and about to watch FINDING NEVERLAND, while Project Greenlight is being recorded, but we already started watching a show about Sumatra Tigers. So much to do...

Tomorrow, i will take some cupcakes to work. They will be eaten after the lunch pizza party.

OH, before I forget, I have to tell you that I ate something SUPER tasty the other day. A wrapini....grilled wrap with fresh spinach, asiago cheese, pico de gallo and grilled portabello mushrooms. Got it at Jason's Deli. It was YUM. If you can't make it there, make it at home!

I grew up playing in the woods and streams behind our house. As a result, i'm not afraid of dirt and dead leaves. But after coming across this thing in one of our flower beds, i'm changing my approach. Luckily it came up on my shovel, not my hand or in my pants. It looked like a big wet raw shrimp but it didn't have any eyes or legs or head. Nothing. Just wet and grey and not moving. It had to be a larvae of some kind.....for what, i have no idea. I left it on a rock. I would have returned it to the dirt, but what if it was a roach larva with hundreds of baby roaches inside? (that was my worst-case scenario).

Needless to say, when Snail and I got back from lunch, it was gone. Mmmmmm....unexpected larva snack.

We watched 24 tonight. I'm still hooked on that show and I'm also wishing it seemed as exciting as fresh as earlier this season. At this point, things are getting way too unbelievable for even me, and i'm pretty forgiving on technical matters.

Oh well. I should know by now that a life with television is a life full of disappointment.

Seriuosly, though, you're lookin' at this year's Christmas gifts. Get ready.

It's good to have time to run an errand at lunch.
It's good when there's a Taco Bell right next to the car shop.
It's good when they tell you it'll be 45 minutes and you don't have a watch.
It's good to sit quietly at Taco Bell eating your lunch and waiting for an oil change.
It's good that it only takes 10 minutes to eat your bean burrito.
It's good when you have time to go through some receipts in your wallet.
It's good when you can't find a pen in your purse to make use of the back of that paper placement.
It's good when you forget to bring something to read while you're sitting, waiting at Taco Bell.
It's good to run into someone you sort of know at Taco Bell, and feel like you can no longer just sit there staring out the window.
It's good to leave Taco Bell, and realize your car is ready to be picked up.

celeste tank beneath an empire waist, creamy pistachio jersey falls into loose pillars, yielding an ultra-flattering asymmetrical silhouette. Sequins scatter from neckline to hem. Self tie under bust.

those anthropologie catalogs are getting to be too much. they are kind of losing me. i hate the melancholoy models meandering the streets of south america, wearing $300 outfits. "Whaaaaaa, i'm beautiful rich and sad for no reason. Whaaaa"

I have no stories to tell today. Just painting, drinking dr pepper, enjoying the weather, doing some laundry and on my way to buy some flowers for the yard.
