Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You guys have got me interested in Coursera. I miss school. I signed up for a lit course on historical novels, and am seriously thinking about one on epidemiology.

Also, I used to not like green tea, but with a touch of honey, it is much smoother!

And I think DH and I are going to be Sally and Jack Skellington for Halloween.

(Yes, I am random thoughts girl tonight. I have tea, but wish I had wine.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have a sore throat, so I too have tea and not wine. Also I have grading.

We went to see a marionette show today. OMG it was so much fun!

Digestive biscuits, eh? I think I've seen those in one of my local stores.

I scrolled back and see parsley was listed, Gar, sorry I missed it. Reinforces my initial assessment of delish!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The interesting thing about that map, to me, is the way all the countries are jigsawed together to be roughly Africa shaped. I like maps, but I love globes. If I had space and money I'd probably collect them.

Wait wait wait, WHAT? Where do I get Bacon Marshmallows? Are they also from Trader Joe's?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Gar, the Monty Python thing makes my brain itch. I can't wrap my mind around it.

Bacon Marshmallows are from Rustic Puff [link] The Cabernet Marshmallows I sampled were also delicious, and the people at the booth (that seemed to also be the people who make the marshmallows) were very nice. I am intrigued by their marshmallow of the month club, but that will have to wait until I'm not dieting...

Zen, it took me a long time before it sunk in - years after I first heard of it. And it still amazes me.

Trader Joe's has gone seriously pumpkin. I mean, I THOUGHT it had already hit that--the pumpkin poptarts, pumpkin yogurt, and pumpkin cream cheese were already out. But now there are also pumpkin filled breakfast bars, and granola, and chai, and pumpkin waffles, pumpkin croissants, mini pumpkin pies, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin ravioli...and on and on and on. My god. I admit, I bought some pumpkin waffles. I was overwhelmed and felt like I had to eat something pumpkin-y! I have not tried them yet.
