Thirteen Random Thoughts Running Rampant Through My Mind 1. I need flat shoes. Like, now. I decided that I need to start walking to work in the mornings rather than having the sweetie drive me, and wouldn't you know it? My foot found the hidden pothole on Seymour Street. In goes the foot, down goes the Cin, ouch goes the knee. 2. I now have a skinned knee. Dammit. On the plus side, maybe it'll eradicate the mark I got from the last skinned knee. Yeah. I'll cling to that hope. 3. My sister will start laughing at me the moment she reads this. It's a freakin' running joke with her that I am uncertain on my feet. I'm constantly tripping, falling, buckling, mis-stepping and otherwise making a mess of myself. Shut up! It's not funny. Blame it on the boobs. 4. Last night was freakin' cold. How cold was it you ask? Cold enough for Her Highness to have a majorly cold wet nose which she snuffled lots, and for the Yowler to actually snuggle up to Lunch's feet. Granted his feet were covered by the ever-popular fleecy blanket, but still. They're FEET. 5. I couldn't help myself, even though I was tired last night I had to indulge in the latest episode of Gilmore Girls. Do you know what it's like to go to bed with Gilmore banter in your head? Do you? 6. I'm running out of shampoo. And conditioner. I've been stressing for a week on what brand to switch to, as the one I'm currently using is great for my hair, but not so great for the environment or the cuddly creatures in it. Problem is, my past experience with animal friendly, non-sodium laurel sulfate'ed, eco brands has resulted in less than favourable results. Does anyone know of a decent option? I'm considering ABBA. It's Vegan, it's friendly, and the company that carries them actually pays you to recycle, in the form of money off on your next purchase. 7. I had a serious case of the oopsies last night. While cooking, no less! I dropped containers, I had vegetables flinging themselves away for fear of contact with the knife. A rebellious stick of celery tried knocking over the teapot. It was chaos! Chaos! And then I made the mistake of adding Balsamic Vinegar to the stew, not Soy Sauce. I swear it's not my fault. The bottle was in the SS's place, and they're the same shape. Luckily my mistake didn't ruin anything - it just added a kick. 8. I forgot basic physics and dried out the cork on my bottle of port. So when I went to pop it open last night and have a tipple while adding some to the beef stew I was creating... the lid snapped off and the cork stayed stuck. By this point I knew I was having a bad night, so I got Lunchtruck to remove the cork. And I decided drinking while chopping might not be such a good idea. The cats agreed. 9. I'm still sorting through all the photos I took on Sunday. And writing down all the history I've learned during my research. With any luck, you'll all see it tomorrow. How the heck do I get myself obsessed like this? And why am I already considering the next project? 10. I went to visit Queenie over at Treading Lightly on Powdered Sugar and read her were-sloth entry, then promptly snorted hot tea while laughing. I'm still laughing. Go. Read. You'll understand. And if you don't, well, you've obviously never hung out with Lunch and I. It's EXACTLY the sort of thing we'd come up with. If we ever watched the Howling. 11. Now I'm tempted to go find a copy of Bunnicula. Or The Celey Stalks At Midnight. Oh oh. Just read the entry on the wiki. I may have to re-read the set - who knew there was a Bunnicula Strikes Again? 12. Hmm. Now I want to watch Shaun of The Dead again. Cause you can't beat a good zombie movie. 13. Something I've learned that I've gotta share: Don't EVER eat spinach dip with squeemish people while watching zombie movies. They'll turn as green as the dip you're sharing.
