Just some thoughts that have built up since last I blogged, two
weeks ago. In no particular order.
Ha, I got my first spam at
LeafShadows,
the blog I used for Blogathon. I don't type there anymore, so no
one should be commenting, but I've put comments on moderation rather
than shutting them down. Just in case some random surfer cares
to ask a vegan question!
Last weekend, I unexpectedly ran out of journal... I could have sworn I had a page
left, but I was writing on the last sheet. And then I obsessed
about getting the exact same notebook. I actually considered getting
up at 3:30am and going to Walmart! Well, somehow I waited until
11am so I could "carpool" with SO. I bought two notebooks,
and now I'm happy.
Michael Vick chew toys. haha.
Boca Chikn burgers! I have been less than impressed with the vegan
burgers available at my grocery store. But these are awesome!
And I've been too lazy, and it's been too hot to bake my own tofu.
So these are really good to have around... Yeah, I made quick work
of the four boxes I initially bought! ha.
FictionWise
membership. Oh My: Static Girl Joy! I buy a few books from FictionWise,
but not enough to justify the 30$/year membership. And then they
sent me an email offering to give me a 100% rebate on the membership!
Did I mention my Joy? *ebook-loving happiness* So, I pay them
my 30$. I get 30$ credit and a free 10$ ebook and 15% off all ebooks
AND membership in their lending library!!! Whoa! The lending
library looks fascinating but I haven't had the chance to
check it out yet...
Day Job continues to murder me. The actual work load has lightened
to an acceptable/normal rate. But a couple 90°+ days and it's
over 100° in my tin cave. Lovely working conditions, huh? bah!
With the heat and my laziness (aka work related heat exhaustion),
I am trying to kill everything in
my poor garden with a lack of watering. Wilted wildflowers make
me sad. I think about digging some up and potting them, since I
am better about watering my house plants. But there is this apathy.
I have two potted plants who are obnoxiously large and who are
spending part of the summer outside. They seem to enjoy doing
out-doorsy things like catching some rays and supporting spider webs.
The ficus has a baby tree growing in his pot. It makes me smile
to think of the squirrel who buried the nut in there last year!
Hugo winners.
