Ooh, those tamales sound good, Hil!

I am apparently spending ALL the money. Yesterday I got waxed and a haircut and went to Babeland, today I bought a new iPhone and then somehow spent $150 at Target even though I only ended up with two bags...Eek!

I had a blind date scheduled for later tonight (from OKCupid) but she just canceled on me because she decided to exclusively see the person she's been seeing...who I suspect is my friend Heather. Ah well.

I'm feeling cranky today, and in a pouty mood, so I'm going to curl up with an Amy Garvey and some tea.

Also, my mother put in 4 earrings today. This is a big thing for her. She's a blinger. But she's been backing off prettying up since the surgery. We're trying to get her daily vestiges back.

meara,

that is weird.

le n--well, we were supposed to meet last weekend but I canceled because of the pneumonia. And I *thought* I saw her (but hard to recognize someone you've only seen in OKCupid pictures!) the other weekend with Heather at the club...unless you meant spending lots of money at Target is weird. In which case I don't think I even know you. :)

ita ! prettying up is definitely key.

That sounds good for your mom, ita.

meara, recognizing people from OKCupid pictures is so weird in general -- there's a guy I always see at work, but I know he doesn't recognize me....

For my part, I made these delicious pumpkin-maple whoopie pies, but was too lazy to make them "mini," so I think my coworkers won't get any after all! I made 13, just ate one, will bring 6 to the family tomorrow, and I think I'll just keep the rest for myself.....

Was very happy to get out of Target for under $20 recently. But I did feel likE I'd done something wrong.

Spoke with KCD briefly. Of course the issues from the other day aren't resolved, they are still in his court. Mad making. But I didn't want to push while babysitting.

Speaking of which, I have a sleeping baby in my arms.

man, meara.

so now that you are dressed up, you need somewhere to go! will you go out?

Oh, my umfriend from Atlanta is getting in later tonight, so I have to finish cleaning the house (the date was coffee in a few hours, she canceled this morning). And then I'm nervous but excited about Atlanta. eek.

Also OKCupid related--oddly, after months of no messages, I had three people email me recently. One was the now-canceled date, one was someone in Portland who I haven't responded to because I don't really want to TRY to meet someone far away, and then one is someone who emailed me the other day saying in a slightly awkward way that I was lovely and she liked my hair/eyes/etc.

And then she emailed me again today to say more. Um, OK, weird.

And then she emailed me again later today to say she'd be at the farmer's market (?) today if I was free and wanted to meet up.

Dude. I haven't even RESPONDED to your FIRST email. Don't send three. That's just weird and now I don't want to respond.
