Gronklies. Today, I have to get some work done and go grocery shopping. I'm trying to decide which to do first. There are problems with either order. I think I'm going to do work and then groceries, since that will slightly minimize the amount of walking I need to do.

Och, Aims. Och. {{}} and hairpets galore.

Oh, and I only now remember - did you get those chocolates?

Very interesting dream, Shir. Tips hat to the Sandman.

Thanks, javachik! I knew that, I just...never considered it in my case, which is short-sighted, at least.

The testimonial makes me smile, but it really sounds like Beverly has what she wants, except for the hand blender. At the moment I'm out of my main stock of ingredients (I lean toward the cocoa butter end of the spectrum, but respect the olive oil).

I need to do the following, in what's left of today:

French homework
Read a paper
Finish second critical reading of Camera Lucida And eventually, get my ass ready for tomorrow.

I can't be bothered to do either.

Uggh. The observant will note that it is 10 am EDT. I am not at work. I went to bed on time last night and woke up at 9:30, when I was supposed to be meeting with a colleague, who I've been unable to reach by cell phone to postpone.

Need do-over. Badly. This is what makes me feel like a horrible person. It'll be almost 11 by the time I get to work. I wish I could just not go in, but I was plaaning on taking part or all of Friday for doggie stuff.

Pardon my mememe-ness first thing.

Gah.

Pardon my mememe-ness first thing.

Uh, isn't that what Bitches is for? Because if not, I totally abused that thread.

As have we all.

{{{{{smonster}}}}} Sorry to hear you are having such a sucky start to your day.

((((Shir)))) Dare I ask how the doggie is doing?

Thanks for the love, y'all.

Aims, Liese has the right idea. Freecycle or Craigslist should do the trick.

I'm at work now. Turns out the colleague had to cancel anyway. Now to get on that work thing.

D-Day minus one! That's D as in Doggie, of course.

I bought the Eucerin Sensitive Skin sunblock moisturizer. Broke me out, as did the Aveeno facial moisturizer. What I'm using now is plain Aveeno hand lotion thinned with a little water. But I'm shopping for a hand blender, so I can make up small batches of olive oil, shea butter, and distilled water with maybe some vitamin E and some C for preserving properties. I figure even my skin won't balk at that. Even the sensitive skin stuff has chemicals in it that my face just doesn't like.

Ooo. Next time you're down, come with me to where I get my olive butter. No need for any of the rest. It's perfect as jarred.

You might be getting my bottle. My skin is less than thrilled with it and I am incapable of throwing things out. I need to see if one of my spray on things works on my chest and arms. If it does, Here Have A new bottle.

I'd grabby-hand that. Mineral blocks are the only sunscreen I can wear without my eyes stinging and watering.
