I haven't changed the batteries in my watches in so long I forgot a) the one watch ran on three batteries b) I have three watches. But that's done! No more excuses.

No skirt alteration though. That was too much. I'm done for the day, and back horizontal.

Also only bought one art book, which was a pretty big accomplishment. I have a sad addiction.

I meant to go to the salon today, but it was rainy and cold, and I'm still doing laundry and trying to decide if I'm keeping the leather jacket I ordered. Not to mention the kitchen and bathroom need cleaning.

Dagnabbit, the recipe I was going to make made me burn my tomatoes to a crisp, instead of nicely roasting them. I knew it was too high for too long! But forgot to check in time. Feh.

Cleaning off my dvr now, and after watching Thursday night's TDS/Colbert hour, I want to hear more of Stephen's Mandy Patinkin impersonation!! He does a really kickass one from the little he gave us in the Aaron Sorkin interview. And the fact that he used a song from "Sunday in the Park with George" to show it off was even better.

picked up something that was flavored with bonito and horseradish.

I would totally go for that combination (yes even for breakfast)

My shredder is dead. I've been ripping the address/account # off and sticking the rest in recycling. Would an electronics recycler take the business end of a shredder?

I feel fine, and am not coughing a LOT, so why can't I just get rid of it altogether??

from smoking maybe?

I feel like I blew it on a regular basis, but then I often get the chance to try again.

Parenting in a nutshell, ain't it?

Got two drawers of stuff down to one not full drawer of papers that need filing. Progress.

I have had a wonderful day! We walked up to Cafe Brazil for brunch with our travel agent friend and his best friend, worked out some of the details of our India trip. We now have a schedule, train itenerary, and 2 hotels and a tour.

Then, I was going to clean, but Jon walked down to the park to watch the flyover for the TX-OU game and texted me to blow off house work and meet him because the day is pretty and I am too.

Next we walked up to the pawn shop where he bought me a custom shiny, red, fixed gear bike. It even has a cute little bell on the handle and white wall tires. If you are a fb friend go check it out.

Later, we are going to pick up some series and come home, watch those and do mani/pedis. Then mexican food at the Blue Goose up the street for dinner and maybe a late night ride.
