Omg, I am off this week, and for the second time, I am at my favorite breakfast place. It is slammed! It's never like this on my Mondays off. there are as many people standing waiting for a table as there are eating.

I am applying for another job. If the online applications don't kill me, writing cover letters is sapping me of my will to live.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My favorite breakfast place (which is always full of people waiting for tables on the weekend, not so much during the week but maybe Fridays, I haven't checked) is closed on Mondays, which I get but still kind of bums me out because Monday is when I could really use a before work treat to get my week started off right...

This was breakfast:

3 Durty Scrambled Eggs, Bourbon & Cola BBq Brisket and Pork Belly, White Bean & Sweet Potato Succotash, Cheddar HushPuppies, Molasses Drizzle .

It was delicious, as everything is here.

Coding and Sleeping

Saturday, my son has two soccer games and my daughter is having a sleepover. I'll be making homemade whole-wheat pizzas for them that night. It'll be busy but yummy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy travels, Sarameg!

If I start getting ready for work RIGHT NOW I might not be late, but I have a feeling that ain't happening.

Ugh, Xfinity! When I picked up my phone, I wasn't getting the "you have a message" tone. When I checked the online message listing (which is much easier to navigate than the audio menu) it didn't show any unheard messages.

Yet everyone who has been trying to get me for the past week has gotten a "message full" notice.

Finally, after waiting on hold twice with Customer Service... it turns out that I have over 100 messages "heard" but saved. SIGH. Am I such a freak that I like to hang onto messages?

Happy to report that I broke through the stall point I'd seemed to reach on my diet for a couple of weeks, and am now 32 lbs. down as of Tuesday. So I'll continue on Atkins for the rest of the Summer (excepting the weekend of Sept. 13-14) and see how low I can go.

Fred, no shit. Not to mention Maddow did a nice job running down the fatalities in state dept attacks under previous Presidents and Benghazi had a small number of deaths compared to embassy attacks under Clinton and GWB.
