A breakfront! That's genius.

I don't have a super-clear idea of what a breakfront is, but I bet people who come to my house won't either!

And I got a beautiful scarf for Christmas that will be great on top, but not in my bedroom. It's a plan!

Maybe for later.

Wow, you really were tricked!

Oh, I'd have been bitter, bitter, bitter. And collapsed in a heap of dead from out of shape, but that's more or less beside the point.

I had to buy a bigger medicine dispenser today. Really, it's because I take three calcium supplement pills and three multi-oil caplets a day now in addition to some prescription stuff and a multivitamin, and the supplements are inconveniently large. Still, I feel enoldened by the need for a bigger medicine dispenser.

Funny note: I actually got a vitamin dispenser, because it was cheaper and conveniently had seven compartments. The packaging had an example of how one might use the dispenser, you know, put your Vit C here, then your calcium, yadda, yadda. The "vitamin" pictured in the first compartment? Advil. Vitamin Advil. Been there, man. So sad.

I carry this pill container (large). It's tricky, but I could just about hold a week's worth in there. But now that one of my meds has bumped up, I may have to lose the Aleve.

Liese, I'm sorry if we sucked you in!

No, no, it's too late for regrets now. I've got all this folding and drying and putting away to do.

However, I am making up for it by using our very expensive gift certificate to the local (absolutely excellent) Japanese restaurant. Yay, sushi!

I carry this pill container

That's very cute. For a container that carries things (I'm going to feel safe saying) we'd mostly rather not have to take. I need compartments, or I'd mess up the daily regimen. All hopped up on calcium one day, strung out on fish oil the next...

So, this is very old, but if anyone is still interested in checking out that article on carseats from Consumer Reports, or indeed any other article, you might want to consider checking with your local library before subscribing. It may be available online through one of your library's online databases. Alternatively, they may be willing to scan and send it to you. At last resort, you could actually stop by the library and use their copy. Most public libraries subscribe to Consumer Reports.

It's a pretty damn cool knife, is all I'm sayin'.

Ulus are the bestest.

I am so full right now, I don't even know. That's what I get for ordering a whole pizza plus cheesy bread instead of walking around the corner for a slice. Or two.

The cat did the most uncatlike thing ever: after yelling at me didn't work at getting me to pick up her ribbon to play (hello! Busy washing dishes!) she took the hem of my pants in her teeth and tugged.

Freaky.

I can't fit all my pills into any daily dispenser I've found. I take ten and a half prescription pills a day, and about four over the counter ones.

Mmm, pizza. I could eat a whole one right now.

Laga, you're right, I don't really want to cook. I would love it if you would cook for me! except I'm in New Jersey, which I believe is an entire continent away from your cooking self. Alas.

Theodosia, I'm glad your shoulder problems are relatively easy to diagnose and fix! Physical therapy exercises are like magic. When I do mine twice a day, my back is almost like normal.

::cough:: Unsolicited information for the inflammation-afflicted: Quercetin and fish oil are both good for reducing inflammation. Helped me get from 1600 mg of ibuprofen per day to 600 mg or less. Other things are good too, but those are the ones I know personally. We're quite close, really.

I can't believe how gorgeous the weather was today. January 6, and it's nearly 70 degrees and sunny. I expect we're going to pay for it by getting hammered with a couple blizzards in February, and having a terribly hot summer.

I've been meaning to ask: What is kettlebell?
