In college I always thought that a bakery that delivered would be a great business.

Now I want to do it, just to make Withnail and Pie.

well there was the pie movie and now a pie tv show...

There is totally some kind of pie theme in the zeitgeist. And The Pie Hole is totally the perfect pie shop name.

The cupcake thing never really made it here. There is one salon/gallery/cafe that makes them and that's it.

In some kind of Nor'easter related madness, I totally went to town on the kitchen today. Cleaned the fridge, tried moving the stove and the fridge and then moved them back, dusted swept, washed the little rug. Now, I'm too lazy to put it all back together.

And the rest of the house...can be declared a disaster area with or without the storm, which seems to be tracking further west now, yay!

We get cupcakes delivered to work all the time... but not for long, because there's apparently a Crumbs opening up around the corner. We'll see if they're worthy.

I just went over to the movie theater to see Gone Baby Gone, and it was sold out! For the rest of the day! I guess I'll go earlier tomorrow.

OH! wanna go tomorrow with? mac is seeingthe Bee movie with his uncle after early church.

Totally!! Where at?

A movie theater that served pie would be the best thing ever.

I also have wasted the day. Starting with oversleeping, then rushing to the mechanic to get my brake lights fixed, which I thought would be, oh, fifteen minutes, turned out it was not simply the light or the fuse but the brake switch assembly which is inside the steering column WTF and I was there until 1pm, then I did a couple "quick" stops to pick up things and drugs and got home at 3:30, and then oops forgot to pay the rent! and I had to drive to the post office that picks up late, and now I'm back and exhausted mainly from eating nothing but junk food in my car all day. And now I want to nap instead of doing the kazillion things I had planned to get done. Crap.

Kat, they're right. Nobody says, "I'm so strong, all this shit is as nothing to me!" Strong doesn't feel strong, strong is just keeping on going when you want to quit and lie down forever. You say it's just that you have to because your family needs you, but there are plenty of people who just crumble under the weight of what's needed from them.

you have IM, Jesse?

I updated my resume and sent it to Playboy! Go team.

I'd celebrate, but now I have to go to a meeting.

I'm trying to get on AIM...

Seconding. A close friend of mine had a child die after a long fight with leukemia at 13. Soon after the child's diagnosis, my friend's (ex)husband took up cocaine and left the family (wife and 2 kids). He wouldn't even visit the kid in the hospital because it was "too much" for him. There are people who give up and people who find strength. My friend is an amazing person and I'm sure she wouldn't necessarily see that in herself. She is great fun, hysterically witty, kind, and open and living a full life, which is kind of amazing for someone who went through that kind of tragedy. She is kinda my hero.
