Y'all, this kitten may be the cutest kitten I've had. Like, seriously. He's really fucking cute. And sweet. Two of my friends came over yesterday and may adopt him, which would be awesome.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm at home again! With my Kindle! This is very comforting.

I went out to Denny's for breakfast, then headed to the grocery store. Then my favorite rock song came on, over my brand new, five-speaking, fully functioning stereo system. It would only be a third over by the time I got to the grocery store. I turned it up and kept driving, though I did go to the grocery store when it was done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Dana!
Yay Sumi!
Yay Matt!
Yay other people!
Good luck, Scrappy!
I kind of don't know how my mother does it -- I am not usually with her for most of Sunday, but getting there before 9 for choir, then she led a meeting after church, then visiting my father, is quite a full day! I'm wiped out and I didn't even have to do the hard parts.

Hey, Frank. Can you send me your current address when you get a chance? Your Christmas card was returned this year.

I'm making oatmeal cookies, and the suggested cooking time is so insufficient, I don't know how small they think I can make them. Anyway, they will be delicious and (at least mostly) delivered to the neighbors.

Adventures in cooking:
Balsamic vinegar and honey dijon mustard are wonderful substitutes for the basic version in my egg salad. Oh, and the smoked salt was a nice touch, too.

Yum! I'll have to try that the next time I make egg salad.
