haircut and grocery shopping, so no. We'll be gone at least 3 hours and a train is involved. he is kinda resigned at this point. there will be a long afternoon of video watching when we get home, so he will be excited about getting back.

The good thing would be to find a bribe that works for the both of you.

I'm almost fully dressed now! I'm hoping to get a surge going in my accomplishments for the day. Next thing, putting on my outerwear....

I crashed, and crashed hard, at about 11:00 last night. Felt good, but now I am up too early. I predict there will be a nap later today.

I made it all the way out to the grocery store! And then another grocery store, and then another. (I had to check the other Whole Foods, since it was early and there wasn't hardly any traffic -- and they did have the Cherry Almond Ginger Chews that are very hard to find, so I feel very justified for the extra 6 or so miles of driving.)

Like their very urbane sophistication is at stake.

Heh. I don't really have a dog in that fight... despite being a Bostonian for many years (or perhaps because of it) I'm not overly attached to the city.

Salem, on the other hand... I'm super proud! Like when Colbert mentioned the Salem Witch Trials, I squeed. That is wrong like a wrong thing, but true. But I'd never claim Salem as being urbane or sophisitimicated. It's in the throes of a slowly growing renaissance, though and I enjoy the community.

dreams of Portland and its many many beer bars and microbreweries.

I have to do some serious housecleaning this weekend. My parents are coming next weekend, and my place is a PIT. I mean, really bad.

I'm also going to make some broccoli cheddar soup, I think, since I've been kind of obsessed with Au Bon Pain's version, and homemade has to be less of a bowl full of fat, doesn't it?

You would think. But, sometime ask Emily about my broccoli cheddar soup experiment. That's a couple hours and a bunch of money I'll never get back. It was AWFUL.

Timelies all!

Among my errands for today is to go to the mall to pick up another bottle of foundation. My daily makeup is that plus eyeliner(just on the lower lids). I haven't clue one what to do as far as other eye makeup goes, so I usually go without.(other people doing my makeup is fine) I also own a small handful of lipsticks, most of which were given to me. Ah, well...

Oh dear. I found a recipe that seems pretty simple, and uses stuff I already have in the house, so I'll give it a shot.
