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.

Yep! and I named him Neil Sedaka.

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.

Does he serenade you?

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.)

Oh.my.god. I love my cats. Hell, I spoil my cats. My schedule is dictated by the medication schedule of one of them, for crying out loud. I buy the prescription medicine for the same, and don't get the cheapest shit for the other. I even get the other senior formula. If medical needs demanded it, I'd even resort to cooking it myself. But. There was just an ad for Fancy Feast touting "delicate reduction sauce" and "fine herbs, delicately sauteed." Um. It's CATFOOD. They eat dead things and grass and other cat's vomit. They don't have a gourmet palate that requires reduction sauces and sauteed herbs.

You are right on, sarameg.

ION, I spilled chicken soup all over the couch tonight. Thank god I'd just moved the laptop away. But the couch was littered with cds I'm in the process of burning.

I chose to deal with this catastrophe by letting the dog lick the soup off all the cds and going out for drinks. Tomorrow I will drag out the steamer.

What Sarameg said, totally.

eta: Brenda, I hope the soup comes up easily (I got delayed in posting, by my cat. Now, off to shoot up the other one.)

Until I scrolled the rest of the way, I was going to ask if you let the dog clean up the mess....

My parents used to refer to their late dogs as the pre-washers. In the age of dishwashers, made sense though before we had one, I hated it because of the slime. There's no excuse for slime.
