is it 8pm yet.....?

i hate* the time change... i hate* springing forward almost as much as i hate* falling back... or is it falling forward and springing back... um... anyway, the extra hour in bed this morning was very good.... but oh my gawd, the pitch dark extra hour waiting for bedtime to PLEEEEEASE arrive is proving to be very very very bad....

today i saw a 'make your own dog biscuits kit' in my favorite ever store, Joann's (i have three coupons this week:) as I pondered aloud if i really need such a kit, suddenly every single member of the line spun around and started sharing fond tales about labs who love doggie-modified banana bread, recipes for first birthday 'pupcakes', heart shaped bones... a warm fuzzy secret sisterhood to which i was immediately welcomed with recipes and advice:) there i was thinking i was a good mom to my dogs all these years... suffice to say i spent the evening baking them 'i'm sorry' cookies....

one more thing i love about Joann's... those sweet soft spoken old ladies who work there, who call you 'hun' and smell like parma violets. they just warm the cockles of my heart. i admit one is pretty mean, but i can give just as good as i get to that old battle axe ;)

in 48 hours i will either be packing for England or listening to Dido's 'Thank You' followed by Alanis' 'Thank U' followed by Tori's 'Thank You' followed by Duran Duran's 'Thank You'....

today's 'george michael state of mind' playlist:
faith - gm
praying for time - gm
freedom - gm
heal the pain - gm
feeling good - gm

* sorry Mrs Obama but i like to complain....

gasp! a past due notice for allowance....

  2. Packing for England in 48 hours possibly!? Nah, you're staying, Im pretty sure your choice for president is going to win, it's looking highly in his favor!

    Parma Violets huh? Maybe you should pack for England! (Or I could pack a little bit of England for you.)
    PS miss you in CS. :(

  4. Your blog absolutely cracks me up. Seriously, if I'm having a bad day all I have to do is come here and read. You have such a way with words and you're so witty. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face day after day.

    P.S. Gooooo Obama....or Oback Bobama as Lucy calls him. hehe
