I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like the look of that wobble cushion. I have a similar thing made of wood I got from a training-to-run site.

Aww Kat, calling you your name and hugs sounds adorable!

I will also drink wine out of whatever. But admit I prefer a thinner glass, over mug/mason jar?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It's funny because when I walk through the lower school quad, the littles yell my name or come up and hug me.

Adorable, especially since, in my head at least, the upper grades quake in fear when they hear your name. Also because hugs.

brenda, I can picture it exactly. My cat likes to run in front of me so that she can plop herself down in my path, roll onto her back, and beg for pets. Almost exactly the same thing my son used to do when he was two.

Oh and speaking of advent calendars, one day last week I noticed that my Trader Joe's had Valrhona chocolate advent calendars for $9.99 so I swooped up two of them. I'm guessing this will be an item that they have a hard time keeping in stock since I went back yesterday for a few items and noticed they were out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

brenda, that's hilarious! Cats, man.

I just ate at Chipotle for the first time. Delicious! And very filling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just made this: [link] and I made some mistakes, and am not 100% sure it was worth the effort, but DAMN it is delicious.

My decision to go to Trader Joe's on a Saturday afternoon was not a wise one, perhaps, but now I have vinho verde and beet hummus.

Also, some guy was handing out free samples outside of a cosmetics store and he was trying to ask me about what products I use for my eyes, and I may have blown him off a bit rudely.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't know if the one you went to was the one we went to while in SF for our honeymoon (on Masonic, IIRC), but the parking situation was insane. And it was just 3:00 on a Thursday. I can't imagine it on a Saturday.

We did too. And bumped into Christmas/holiday noms. We bought Peppermint JoJo's, chocolate covered Peppermint JoJo's, the multiple flavored covered Peppermint JoJo's, Peppermint crisps, Peppermint tea, and I swear there were more treats. Total sucker for peppermint.

This was after going to two different craft fairs, Old Navy, and Charming Charlies. I have a chunk of my holiday shopping complete!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The Masonic TJ's is bananas all day, every day. (My clinic & hospital are right there, so I'm near it a lot.)
