Patties, yum. I'm sorry you didn't get to stay longer. It sounds like it did you a world of good to be home, and your family to have you home. And, from the sound of some of the conversational topics, the opposite of dull!

So far my Sunday consists of making cornbread, which is yum.

Corn bread:

This is interesting. Basically says big banks (mostly talking about/to BoA) are counting on online banking and bill paying customers to stay despite the debit card fee because of the hassle of moving all that somewhere else. [link]

Every bill I pay is online, but it's not such a huge set-up that I'd stay just for that. I get inertia, believe me, but in this climate, I wonder whether they're counting a bit too much on it.

I pay my bills online, but I go to the websites of the people I pay the bills for, I don't go through my bank. I don't want my bank that tied up in my computer.

Timelies all!

Went to brunch with Gary's mom and my folks. Went to the Original Pancake House.(though probably not the original Original) There was Dutch Baby on the menu, though I still don't know what that is. Had cinnamon apple waffles. Yum.

We pay online through our credit union but they're not scheduled payments or anything--just a list of payments we make . I don't see how it would be that hard to set up a new list of payees with a new bank.

Jilli!

You need to see today's Cake Wrecks! The Sunday Sweets this week are all based on Tim Burton films.

Here!

ita !, yes, marking essays is A Great and Terrible pain. This is why I always, as an English teacher, kinda wanted to stab other teachers who never had to take papers home to grade -- they could get their little worksheets done during their plan period, whereas grading essay? HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS of work.

You sound much calmer and in a better place now -- I'm so pleased to hear this. I've been worried about you.

I'm going to go to the grocery store and to get a REAL MASCARA with a little of my garage sale money, make chili, do a little cleaning, and work on writing and editing projects.

Then watch the season premiere of The Walking Dead tonight. An hour and a half long ep -- SQUEEE!

I think I've got Dan on the verge of signing up to the board. He's been catching up on Firefly on my rec, and I'll be all "Oh, Allyson got to sit in the cockpit. Ita moom is named after ita !"

We watched American Horror Story (liking it!) and I'm like "Tim Minear helped us bring Nilly to the US from Israel." "Allyson's roommate wrote this ep of Nikita."

Plus, he loves you anyway, because Buffista wedding presents bought us our TV.

I know a lot of 'Ffistas don't want spouses on (DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!) but Dan is SUCH a Buffista, and I've never posted anything on here I wouldn't want him to know.

I'ma work on him some more. MWAHAHAHAHA. ONE OF US...

Aww, yay, did we see this? Zachary Quinto comes out

Oh, good for him. It's got to be hard, having so many people speculate on your sexuality, and to finally be able to say "Fuck it, I'm gay, suck it, bitches."

Er, maybe I phrases that a little weird, in context. But you know what I mean.

Oh yay!
