I have all the supplies I need to make chocolate covered cherries in the next week or two, assuming I remember to put the brandy ON the cherries soon.

I finally found a copy of Dub Side of the Moon, so it'll get out of my freaking head. Although it seems to have been replaced with Black Star.

Facilities swears its going to fix the heat in my office so that I'm not boiling hot.

I now have a stylish Coach handbag that doubles as a short-trip diaper bag.

I'm going to bed. See you all in the morning.

I'm sure no one is surprised that this is the first I've heard of this... humph.

Not true! I squee'd at you about them, and you rolled your eyes.

So....has anyone had anything *good* happen to them lately?

My temp-to-perm job is likely to go perm at any time now!

Today's Karaism:

I love stereumtypes, my whole family is stereumtypes and it's a very good to be stereumtypes.

What's a stereumtype?

It's a big group of dinosaurs--T-Rexes!--that all live and hunt together. They like being in a stereumtype.

He opened it up and clear as a bell recited his way through the entire book. I nearly cried.

Squeeeee!!

I will be getting some vintage bakeware (and a teapot) in the mail soon (all pink with black lids!)

Oooh, snazzy. I should scour eBay for vintage cooking stuff. (Nevermind that Freecycle is more in my budget range right now...)

Therapist is really pleased with how well I'm handling everything that's coming my way.

Wrod. You have had way more than your fair share of health crap recently. The way that you have dealt with things methodically and calmly has been most impressive. I know you feel like you freak out, but you have handled things so well. I see you dealing what is thrown your way with solid judgment and careful analysis. When you get to the other side of this challenge you are going to look back and realize just how well you coped with this nightmare.

I couldn't possibly say it better, so I'll just point and nod.

I feel guilty even bringing up my petty health concerns, but man...I think I ate a bad burger. I am not feeling well at all. Serves me right for resorting to fast food on the way home. Blech.

And here I was about to bitch that the dinner I made wasn't as good as last time.

I'm annoyed as I refresh election results for my fair city. Almost 3 hours after polls closed and we have 58 votes counted. Just city commissioner races, but it was quite a battle.

One seat was tame, but the other seat had 4 candidates and much press. One the guy who is endorsed by everyone and should get the job, another that has qualifications and stuff, the 3rd guy has only lived in the city for 2 years but had a campaign treasury 10x the size of anyone else [link] so we see his mug in 10x the number of lawn signs, the 4th is a woman that is mom to my son's friend.

Everyone hates this stranger in town with the big bucks and the negative mail has been fun to read. I am anxious to see the results to know if people actually do any research or if they just count signs.

Mostly I hope they pick up the signs tomorrow because very unattractive.
