I had fish, which must automatically lower my cholesterol, right? We won't mention the sauce I made with a tiny bit of butter and a splash of heavy cream.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In other whiny news, as long as it doesn't kill a lot of people, I will be pissed if Hurricane Earl ruins my Friday afternoon.

I'm pretty sure it's going to ruin my plans to visit my folks for the weekend.

Because books.
I just went to Staples for the one thing on Sara's school supply list I couldn't find at Kmart. The line was literally 40 people. It looked like people camping out for concert tickets.
Be responsible, woman. Cook summat.

Oh don't even get me started on those stupid hurricanes!

I'm just going to put it out there that you really deserve to have an awesome trip with no troubles, hurricane-related or otherwise.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
It is cool, Jesse! Sort of jawdropping and amazing, actually.
I like their stuff but it`s too sweet. I also refuse to buy mangoes on the mainland. See also: papaya, pineapple, guava, avocado
We grow avocados in our yard! Love Papaya, even the Strawberry Papayas.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just finished reading Suze Orman's book of money advice for women. I liked her "Young, Fabulous, and Broke" book, but this one wasn't as useful. It was several chapters of "empowering" stuff about how you should take control of your life, then a few chapters of stuff I already do (like pay bills on time and don't bounce checks), then one actually useful-to-me chapter on retirement saving, then several chapters about setting up stuff to provide for your kids and grandkids. I'm sure this book would be useful to somebody, but that somebody isn't me. However, it has convinced me that I'm doing OK financially, which I guess is helpful -- nearly everything that she says to do is either something I already do or something that doesn't apply to me.
