Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I got up, ate breakfast, showered, started my laundry and put chicken in the crockpot only to discover an hour later that it wasn't on.

Now I'm hard boiling eggs for breakfasts this week. Then I want a nap until the eclipse.

Well, next Sunday I'll be home and pick up Popeyes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hard-boiling eggs. I need to do that.

So far today, I've worked on two different client proposals, baked pumpkin cream cheese muffins, de-taped Peanut's room, and done laundry. Somehow, I still don't feel like I've done much.

There was a cherry pie on the discount shelf at the supermarket bakery. I brought it into the office. OMG, it's good. I think I'm going to be able to keep myself down to eating a third of it (for what it's worth, it's most of my lunch. Yay, fruit!)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm paying bills, and after seeing yet ANOTHER increase on my cable/phone/internet bill, I'm ready to cut the cord on everything except internet.

Any caveats before I call AT&T and tell them where to shove their receivers?

Will your phone needs be met without a landline?

I think they will be. Most of what I get on the landline these days are junk calls.

Have picked out clothes for tomorrow and stashed them in a drawer where the cats can't vent their displeasure on them. I learn from my misfortune, sometimes.

That's why I dumped the land line. All my doctors have my cell number, and I haven't had any reason for bill collectors to annoy me recently.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I haven't had a landline since graduating college. Just never saw the need.

I am kind of stunned at my electrical bill. It's more than double what I was paying in PA, and trying to cut down on my electricity use won't really do much, since about two thirds of the bill is fixed fees, not things that depend on how much I use.
