There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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.)
