Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Now tagless for your comfort.

SA, potatoes are a nearly perfect food because they can be baked and topped with anything! Chilli & cheese, bacon & cheese, broccoli & cheese, sour cream & chives, or just butter, salt & pepper. Good luck mixing it up. I also like pasta for economy and goodness--you can't go wrong with olive oil and a little bit of cheese (you can always top with fresh tomatoes or some olives or something, too.) Good luck with your food groups! /mommy

I'm in the midst of a power coupon rampage at the moment. Since I have more time than money and I have all this net access, I'm currently working on a System which may, hopefully, save us some on grocery bills. I feel so Suburban Mom, I may need to do something crazy to offset it, like get a tattoo or dye my hair black or something.

How was the Pacafiesta? Did you bring home an alpaca?

Yep! and I named him Neil Sedaka.

msbelle, do you carry a laptop? [link] I think I might need one of those.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not regularly carry a laptop, but I did have a pionk laptop bag from Target a while back. I decided to get rid of it in favor of a bag with wheels.

The reviews of the laptop bags at Target were not good so I wouldn't feel comfortable buying one online. I need to look at them in the store though. I need new laptop bag options because I cart mine around all the time.

There was a yummy one at Levenger. Their outlet store is close to my office, so I need to visit more often.

Does he serenade you?

This is the one at Levenger. Sometimes they have huge discounts at the outlet. I need to stop by this week and get a laptop lap table anyway. Maybe I'll luck out. [link] I think Levenger is the one and only retailer headquartered in Delray Beach. A good one to have around the corner. A number of friends have worked there which was cool for the company discount. Alas, I don't know anyone there now.

Goodness no! If he does, I'll take him back.

You mean he doesn't know Neil's greatest hits?

I got semiorganized today. After knocking over the carpet shampoo bottle for the kazillionth time, I went out and got one of those 2-drawer plastic things at Target. All my cleaning supplies are in one place, no longer littering my counters, closets and floors. I even covered the fronts with innocuous contact paper so I don't have to see the bottles through the clear plastic. Looks somewhat respectable, even!

Also replaced the shower curtain. So my bathroom stinks, but worth it.

Did a TJ run for bulgoki, naan and palaak paneer. I think I'm going to get some spinach to wilt with the bulgoki. It sounds good.

Most amusing part: neighbor boy S carried all my shit up, in exchange for an extended session with Mister Kitty. His great-aunt ordered him to, but he was still so enthusiastic it made me grin ( he's kinda unemotional to begin with, and I've learned that he's emotionally and educationally delayed by nearly 5 years as a result of being a crack baby, sigh.)
