Okay, I am back, and people STILL are not posting. How is it that there will be five million posts when I can't read them at work, and on a rainy Saturday when I have no cash for a new book, and less motivation to do much of anything, there are about seven posts?
In other news, I went to the grocery store. I have now had a snack of chocolate milk and Excedrin, AIFG. Also, everything I bought was very on sale, so I got the 100 count Excedrin, 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk, 2 big Bounty rolls of paper towels for when I do eventually get to the business of cleaning my house, a new toothbrush, and tax, for $20.50. It's like The Price is Right, only better.
I am now vaguely reading the internet, and trying to learn how to flirt. One day, I mean to acquire a boyfriend. Although, I must be doing something all right, since I merely said, "Excuse me," to some guy completely blocking the aisle, and he looked me over from head to foot (mind you, I was wearing yesterday's outfit and had just run through the parking lot in the rain), and said, "That is really quite all right," with a giant smile showing all his teeth. So weird.
Who wants to come over and make me lunch so that I can just lay on my bed like a lump for the rest of the day?
I'd come over, but for small and nearly irrelevant details like being on the far side of the country, and so damn tired from my own schooly day that I can barely move. Otherwise, I'd be there already.
I just found out that next weekend is teacher discount weekend at Borders. 25% off all purchases, school and personal. Whoo!
I also purchased Season 2 of Slings & Arrows and got a book of Poe for a kid in my class.
Worked out for the 4th time this week, keeping me on track.
One disc left in Series 5 of Homicide.
Kitty-to-be-renamed [link] has decided that outside is cool to watch, and I am not scary. Indeed, I am worthy of seeking out for being petted.
Alibelle, if you find helpful help anywhere, let the rest of us know. Go you with your awesome self, though.
ita, I'm so sad to hear that you're having another craptastic hospitalized weekend. You have had way more than your share.

It's probably because you're very pretty. Also, flirting is a fun thing to do. I recommend it.
Me, I was invited to two parties, today. One I forgot about until it was too late, and one I don't feel like going to (because it's going to be like a big frat party). Doh.
Thanks, Theodosia! The thought is appreciated.
Would someone please tell Lee that I'm not speaking to her? Thanks.

Actually, I've found that I usually get that reaction whenever I do exactly what I did today--put zero effort into my appearance (this includes not brushing my hair, just pulling it back) and wear blue. I usually get some sort of comment and/or free stuff. It makes my friend Karen laugh like crazy every time. Especially since it's not something I do on purpose, I just happen to own a lot of blue. And a lot of laziness. The problem with this is, I am never ever interested in the people who respond to this kind of "allure." They are generally off-putting kinds of people, however nice free soda is, you know? I also attract crazy people, and people who want me to be their mom/life coach. Not attractive. Random searching of the internet has taught me that Miss Alli from TWOP did co-write a dating book, however, and that's kind of awesome.
ETA: Aw, thanks, meara!
Will someone please tell Alibelle she is making me cry and really isn't a very nice person.
Will someone please tell "Lee" that people in hiding from me deserve to cry because they are missing out on my brilliance? Also, that I'm a perfectly nice person, thank you.
I tried to get a bagel for breaking the fast, but the only ones that they still had any of were asiago cheese, jalepeno double cheddar, and cinnamon crisp, all of which I refuse to acknowledge as bagels. So I got pumpkin soup and a roll and a banana and a chocolate chip cookie. It worked.
