Now I have a pot pie in the oven. (Not a frozen one in a tinfoil pan; a from-scratch-takes-over-an-hour-to-prep-and-cook homemade pot pie.) It needs to be ready NOW.

Yeah, that's one of the problems with the disposal thing. Once you figure out what you want, you want it NOW! NOW! NOW!

For the last 5 houses on the block , front, alley and side, we got 8 bags. And these are just the preliminaries. Our trees are still full of green leaves.

I gave myself a blister on my nondominant hand. Leaves or vacuuming, who knows.

TJ's blue cheese and pecan dip

Ooooh. Tell me more of this!

I had a bowl of bow-tie pasta with butter for dinner because I was just that lazy. But then S. picked Ben up from work and came home with DQ for me!

Tell me more of this!

It is delicious! And especially with the pumpkin and cranberry crackers. And will be my dinner tomorrow.

And NOW, thanks to you people, I have a ticket to Frankenstein on Wednesday!

Ooh, now I think I want to bring dip and crackers to one of my potlucks coming up (three in the next two weeks, I am not ready).

Popeyes drive-through achieved. That dinner was probably as much food as I usually eat in a day; I am very full. Nom nom nom.

I just saw Frankenstein with JLM as creature version last week. Two years after I saw the other version. Contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed this version more. The lighting design is still the standout part though.

Oh really? I believe my choices are Cumberbatch-as-creature tomorrow and Miller-as-creature on Wednesday. I really don't think I can manage both.

I have cleaned and tasked and erranded. Laundry is in progress and the ball game is on. (Go Royals!)

For those who haven't seen Frankenstein, I'm going to spoiler-font a trigger that you may want to know about before going:

There's a really disturbing and explicit rape scene in the production.

Just an FYI. I'm not the only one who was upset that nobody warned me.
