Red! and shiny! I could make a comparison to Giles car that replaced the Citroen, but I won't.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Ok. Carrot cake is in the oven. Should be interesting. I combined about five different recipes. Crossing my fingers that it's edible!
Now I have to decide what to do about dinner. I was gonna roast a chicken, but it turns out I'm hungry NOW. Maybe I'll order BBQ.

So, it turns out that one of my professors graded me for the class instead of giving me an incomplete as we had agreed. I need to e-mail him, but I'm dreading it. I have no idea what to say. "Um...duh" is all I'm coming up with so far.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy Anniversary, AmyLiz and DH!
Thelma is shiny.

Because books.
Oh, Thelma *is* shiny! I like.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes, everyone! I'm so glad we still like each other after eighteen years (and three before that, while dating) that it's something I'm very thankful for. My DH is a very good guy.

Crap. I just lost my longish, lovely post. Here's the short version:
- Got the IM names in GAIM, yay!
- Thelma's lovely and I love her red.
- Everything's getting more expensive, but income is not growing at a corresponding rate.
- I read a new diet/lifestyle, and am inspired. More veggies, water and exercise will hopefully equal fewer calories and less weight. We'll see how it works out, but I'm still having fizzy wine!!

Why are groceries so damned expensive?when my sister and I shared an apartment, we decided one summer to eat healthy snacks (no cookies or chips, etc). The food bill nearly tripled!!! WTF! So it's bad for ya AND cheaper!?! No wonder we Americans are so over weight. Just not fair!
Course, I'm discovering I snack more as stress increases. Need to find healthy snacks that last long time that are yummy (sorry, rice cakes are out! ick! Styrofoam! ack!) O ya, need to be quiet so I can snack in quiet theater and disturb actors on stage. blah. I'll never be thin again.

Ok...what do we think of this as an e-mail to my professor?
I checked my grades in WISER yesterday and was surprised to see an actual grade for English 379. I thought we had agreed on an incomplete and filled out the paper work. I am working on finishing the assignments and will have everything to you before next semester starts.
Is the grade that is in WISER just a placeholder, or was there some sort of misunderstanding?

Oh, I stress snack like CRAXY!
Have you tried the flavored Quaker Oats rice snacks? They really are quite tasty (and small). The best are the carmel corn flavored ones but they make them in savory flavors, too. Owen actually believed those were "chips" until he figured out what the Doritos bag looks like. *sigh*
With my inactivity (due to the back issues), holidays and stress, I've put on about 15 lbs since Summer.
DH and I are going back on a low(er) carb diet. Which is why I was complaining about the higher grocery bill today. Just by buying fresh (and frozen) veggies, fruits and more lean meat we were shocked at the difference.
