oh for the love of pete

(i don't know who pete is... for the love of george makes much more sense to me:)

(also Danny please stop telling me which toy you just saw on the tv that you want Santa to miraculously craft, wrap and deliver at such late notice...)

my computer is unfashionably 1980s this morning. just let me type already!! i have things to do, lofthouse cookie dough to whip up, children to drive to Grandma's, places to go, nausea-inducing multivitamins to recover from... i have no time for annoying spinning hourglasses today :|

i must find:

thing one: over the sink dish drainer - small and white. NOT this one from container store but THIS one from space savers, who are inconsiderately only located in NC... if that stood for northern california i would so drive up and get it today. i NEED it... the little log cabin had one and it was marvelous. i don't want a silver one, nor a big one, nor a colander. who knew being a housewife would be so hard work? it's not all bon-bons and days of our lives (which i have never watched... nor have i ever eaten a bon-bon)

speaking of which, we watched julie and julia last night - which i couldn't like for several reasons... firstly in the real world food should never take longer to prepare than it does to eat.... nor cost half your take-home pay EVER... and how can someone possibly cook 426 recipes in 365 days? i don't know whether she did, i had to turn off after the aspic scene because it was just so hopelessly lame. also anyone who shops at dean and deluca is a total blowhard because that store stinks like a plane after someone's thrown up on it (icky old cheese) and doesn't even have a decent sprinkle dept. and how interesting could a total ripoff of sex and the city but with a really dull miranda-esque woman who blogs about food instead of sex possibly be...? about 32 minutes interesting, that's how long :|

also on the list today: listen to rage against the machine 'killing in the name of' for the first time since circa 1996 driving to magic mountain with my honey and NO KIDS, as it is now officially on my christmas playlist. England, you'll always be my first love, you are so hopelessly silly and anti-everything that's generic and predictable :)

also find thing 2: envelopes (red ideally...) 6 inches x 6 inches. i bet paper source has them. but any trip to paper source ends poorly (as in expensively;)

also possibly maybe make Bobama doggie at build-a-bear... if buying thing one and two go smoothly. we'll see. back later xoxoxoxo
