oh, msbelle, I'm so sorry about your Grandma, and I feel for mac so hard -- I was 12 when my beloved grandfather died, and I remember screaming and kicking and refusing to go to the funeral and refusing to be comforted for days. You're a good mom.
I was out shopping for six hours and I did not hear LDB! Amazing. I did hear Winter Wonderland four or five times, but luckily I like that one.
It was 60degF today! And it's gonna be 70 tomorrow! Ridic, but pleasant. Of course, the days I'll be at my sister's, sleeping above the garage in the coldest room in the house, THOSE days it's gonna barely get above freezing. Jolly!
Six hours shopping, Marshall's, BigLots, Sears, TJMaxx, Lowes, JoAnne's, Target, long way home to avoid traffic in construction area, collapse. I'm ready for the holidays to be over, and they haven't even really started yet.
The Holidays started at Thanksgiving, the latest!
My cousin gave me a free week of this thing, where they send you all the ingredients to make dinner. [link] It's kind of amazing -- I wouldn't buy it for myself, but I also have never (until tonight) had halibut with tamarind-brown butter sauce, two veg, and two kinds of roasted nuts on top! Fancy.
I just hugged a coworker on her way out for vacation. I mean, she started it, but I went along!
I don't even know who you are anymore!
Growing as a person! Handling cultural norms!
No! Jesse! Don't give in to hugging. AVOID THE HUG.
I did the Google Doodle! That was fun!
I am sitting by the fire with a glass of port, dog not at my feet but lounging nearby. Feels like an unlocked achievement.
You've set the tone now, Jesse. I hope that works out for you okay.
After I did the Google Doodle I thought I'd share it on Google+, because, I don't know, seemed appropriate but I couldn't just click on "share with all circles" or even one circle or, well, anything, so I didn't.
I started the Google Doodle, then we trimmed the tree, and now I have on
It's a Wonderful Life.
Sniffle. And now I can finish the Google Doodle!
I have just hit a new level of
can't even.
Guess whose sewer line got slow while DOING LAUNDRY. GUESS. GUESS WHO IS LEAVING TOWN TOMORROW.
At this point, I'll call them tomorrow and see if I can schedule for when I'm back. I don't even know. It was completely fine (2 loads of laundry before this! Showers!) this past week. Good thing I'm paranoid and was keeping an eye on it and caught it before it was too bad. I was able to route the washer line out the back door using the shopvac tubes for the last two rinses.
I need to vacuum. I kinda don't think that's going to happen tonight. Just packing.
My home warranty is going to have paid for itself for all the years it didn't, I suspect.
