I have 2.5 sheets of $0.37 stamps. I guess this means I'll have to go to a real post office (I normally buy online) and buy a couple three sheets of $0.02 ones in order to mail my bills out next week. Great.

I think my dear old dad may have given me a cold. Not his cold, because this isn't a cough thing like he had. This is ice-pick-in-sinus-cold-threat. Sigh.

And hey! Cute kidlets!

Now I may go lie down.

I got a great haircut from my hairdresser today. It was exactly how I wanted to turn out. I was planning to clean this afternoon, but I decided I should go out and about while my hair looked good.

I have to run to the grocery store to pick up two things, so I have spent the last 1/2 hour updating my iPod before I leave. And I wonder why it takes me a long time to do anything.

I have reason to believe that the next episode of House, which I may or may not have seen (I can't say due to confidentiality agreements), is AWESOME. Freaking awesome.

You're a family of plague-carriers, sarameg.

I refuse to buy stamps online because they charge postage to deliver them. That bothers me irrationally. But I will need some 2¢ stamps, I guess. Which aren't handy to carry in my money clip.

Curses!

I have to say, the SoCal post office is FAST. I mailed my sister something on NYE, and she got it this Wednesday. In London. Pretty sweet. I don't care where I was mailing to from Michigan--it never got to its destination that fast.

Ya know...My brother's family was all plaguey at christmas. But no one caught that.

I think I need to do something to boost my immune system (oh, like exercise) because I used to have one in which a cold was something I got only every couple of years, and then not full blown. I had three last year. All following air travel, so maybe I just need a damned space suit. I'm over it.

sara, you can get 2 cent stamps online (I just bought 2 sheets myself). I have at least 3-4 sheets of 37 cent ones.

I just straighted up a hall closet and am pleased to find out that I am down to 2 shopping bags full of things to ebay (I started at 5). I also discovered a broken wardrobe hanger thingy and tossed it out, so YAY more room. The decorations and tree are coming down today. Not that I did much, but enough to fill a couple of boxes.

The to-do list I made for myself last night before bed did not get done today. Not one thing on it. I am hoping to swing by a drug store or grocery after dinner and take care of a couple of item, but that will still leave 4-5 things I'll need to do tomorrow. darn me.

I have been to two card stores and looked through the card section at several other stores and I can't find a suitable birthday card for my mother. We do not do mushy in our family. We do funny (and I mean actually funny) or affectionately insulting.

I know I can get them online. I just have stuff that should have gone out this week (der) and probably needs to go out before I normally get stamps I've ordered online.

I don't mind paying the postage because it means I don't have to make a mad dash to get to an open office before or after work, stand in line, etc.

I just use the postage meter at work and hand a couple of bucks to the finance guy every so often. Much simpler.
