A Spree! With a Dash of Inanity.
I don’t know what crawled up my ass today but I went to the store to buy new bras and ended up going on a freakin’ shopping spree. I came home with two pair of jeans, a pair of shorts, five tanks, three tees, five bras, eleven pair of panties and two pair of shoes. For me. I also ended up with two pair of jeans, a pair of shorts, socks and a shirt for Taylor, two pair of shorts and a belt for the teen.
Yes. My wallet is much lighter — though I almost bought a new one of those, too. I grabbed my self control by the scruff of the neck, though, and refrained.
Taylor came to pick me up (cuz you don’t really think he’d hang out with me for long enough to buy all that, do you?) and I swear his mouth fell open.
I’m not much of a shopper, normally. I’ll buy a new shirt here, a bra there, socks when I need them. I never really go hog wild and cart out bag after bag after bag of stuff in one day.
I’m going to assume I was possessed for a few hours and tomorrow I’ll have no memory of even having shopped.
After, you know, the exorcist performing priest leaves this evening.
In other news, Eden Cafe got more hits yesterday than my own site. I guess that means the job is going well?
And it is, really. I’m still a little stressed, still wanting to murder people (and by people I mean Taylor) when they ask me for stupid shit they could do themselves when I’m trying to work or have finally finished work and can chill for a few, still struggling with actually having to wake up in the morning at a certain time but, all in all, things are A-okay. Hunky dorey. Peachy keen. ;)
I’ll warn you right now, though, that there will probably be five or six reviews going up this weekend since it’s the one thing (well, the whole blog, really, but I have actual obligations when it comes to the reviews) that I’ve been pushing aside when I’m out of time. I have all this stuff these nice folks were good enough to give me and I haven’t been doing my part with my usual punctuality.
The other day, Taylor bought a blow gun
Enough said.
The Teen and I planted six tomato plants awhile back and they’re getting simply huge with lots of green tomatoes all over them.
The sucky thing? I’m not digging tomatoes all that much this year.
That could be because I haven’t gotten any from the farmer’s market yet and the grocery store ones have sucked ass. We’re going to have a LOT of them, though, so I really hope once I get one that’s fresh and ripe from my own garden I’ll refind my love for them again.
I have oodles of fresh basil, too. Please, gods, let the tomatoes taste good. What else will I do with all that basil if I don’t use it on the ‘matoes?
I’ve been wearing my glasses every day. It’s a very strange conundrum, the whole glasses thing.
I need them for far away. Can’t, in fact, read a book with them on. Normally, I wouldn’t need them at the computer, either, except that I spend all day in front of it now. And my desk is big, my monitor far away and my back/neck were getting excruciatingly painful from hunching over and forward to see text and I had constant headaches due to eye strain. With my glasses on, I can see the monitor better. But they also make me feel weird because I go to eat or read or check a label and I can’t freaking see them. Or my eyes cross and I’ll see things. (Like, today, I took a sip of coffee and looked down into the mug and swore I saw a black spot creeping up the side of the mug. I thought it was a bug so I spewed the coffee all over the kitchen floor and focused into the mug and… nope… nothing there at all. It was my eyes fucking with me. Argh) Now, without glasses, I don’t need reading glasses. I can see close up perfectly well. But I’m starting to think that, with the glasses, I need a bifocal or something.
Something, please. Cuz my head is tired of hurting. Now I don’t have the eye strain but I get headaches from trying to focus on close up stuff.
I think that is all. If anyone actually got all the way thru all this inane babbling, well, as my friend Danni says, I owe you a cookie. I’m impressed.

Yeah, I’d definitely say you need to get your eyes checked and a new prescription. If you can afford it, that is. I need to do the same thing, but I haven’t the money. It sucks hardcore.
Congrats on things going so well with Eden Cafe.
If I’m ever up your way I’ll get my cookie then. ;-)

I’ll take a cookie. :)
And I have to wear my glasses when looking at the computer too.

Basil = PESTO!
Best thing about that is you can make a ton and freeze it ice cube trays, pop them out and toss them in zip lock bags. Then you can just take a few out when you need them…for pesto chicken, pesto pasta, pesto on sandwiches, pesto gnocchi…i do not recommend pesto on ice cream tho. :)
I am about to try a new recipe for a baked tomato sauce for pasta that uses 20 romas and produces about 4 cups. If it’s any good, I will pass along the recipe. I have to imagine you could use 10 regular tomatoes or even double the recipe and freeze the extra.
Oh and I would like a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, please. :)

I only used to need my glasses for far, far away stuff and then at some stage, I started doing more and more stuff on the computer and tried keeping them on all the time. Now I can’t do anything without them on all the time…sad.
I second the idea for making pesto with all that scrummy basil. Mmm… fresh pesto on pizza is also good!

“But they also make me feel weird because I go to eat or read or check a label and I can’t freaking see them. Or my eyes cross and I’ll see things. ”
ROTFL I have glasses only for reading, which I rarely wear. But when I AM wearing them, I’ll forget I have them on, stand up, walk across the room and get dizzy (because the prescription isn’t strong enough to be really noticeable when I look at something far away, lol).
The eye doc said I was borderline far sighted. Which is weird. Because for close up things, I sit/hold the book/etc. as close to my face as possible. lol
I choose to believe that the coffee incident was a wicked flashback ;)
PS: you are doing a FABULOUS job!

Well, there was that time I ate a cereal bowl full of bugs…
