Mmmm. Good sleep! And my house is clean -- yay!

Went downstaira to make coffee, asked D how he was (fine), and he looked at me, rapt: "I had STRAWBERRY CAKE for breakfast!"

He's SO high-maintenance.

Trying to figure out what to do today. I think I might clean out the car, job hunt....ooh, I have a massage gift cert! Maybe I'll do that!

Good heavens. There was a murder suicide in my neighborhood last night! It happened while I was at the lake. I never heard the emergency vehicles, though.
 
This neighborhood is so weird, in its setup. It was an old, poor, rural neighborhood in the eighties. There was lots of drug dealing and stuff. And then developers came in and glossed everything up and basically built a country club on top of the poor neighborhood. Then that was successful so they built the private air strip. So you literally have really run down places and meth houses, and then on the same street you have summer vacation homes. My area is kinda in between, but it`s closest to the lake and the airport, so you have homes with hangars instead of garages on the next street over.
 
Not that the socioeconomics defines violent acts like this, of course. It`s just bizarre and very unsettling in such a small neighborhood.

so you have homes with hangars instead of garages on the next street over.

...I suddenly have a new thing to aspire to that I had never imagined. Wow.

TJ's crack: reuben wrap- pastrami and sauerkraut on a rye tortilla

That's sounds delicious.

You people who have so many businesses open on a Sunday boggle me. I think I've lived in blue law areas my whole life, except for a three-month business trip in Philly, where many things were closed on Mondays instead (very odd to me). I decided to take the Sunday shift because there's nothing else to do, so I might as well make money and have my weekend when stuff's available.

Liese, that's freaky.

Perkins, Torres.

Perkins is mean, with the BINAO. Can't. Choose. Circuits. Melting.

Easiest BINAO ever.

Easiest BINAO ever.

Oh yeah. Ackles all the way.

I have been productive today. I took my spare change down to the CoinStar machine and got Overstock.com credit for it; I went to look at a dresser that I was considering buying from craigslist, but decided I didn't like it so much; I went to look at a coffee table and end table I was buying from craigslist, which I did like, but which required two trips to get home, because I forgot the first time to check if the legs could come off the tables. Then I bought in the whole end table and the coffee table legs -- the coffee table top is too heavy for me to carry in, so I'll have to find someone to help with that, somehow. Then I got on overstock.com, and used the spare change credit plus a 10% off coupon from the post office to buy a wardrobe, so that I'll have somewhere to put my clothes. The one that I ended up buying is actually advertised as baby furniture, but it doesn't really look obviously baby, and it had much better reviews than all the comparably priced similar ones that aren't made for baby rooms. [link] My new plan for bedroom furniture, since my old plan of getting a matching bedroom set seems too expensive, is to buy pieces as I need them, all white and similar styles, so that they'll coordinate, if not match. And if I feel like it at some point, I can get some cool drawer pulls at Anthropologie or someplace.
