The return to normalcy.

Time to get back to living! No more being glued to the television or the internet or to Harper's reading political news! No more hand-wringing and sleepless nights! It's time to focus on my favorite pasttimes like reading (books), traveling, cooking & planning. I need to come up with a big project for me to do.

Speaking of planning, I've already got Thxgiving & Xmas plans underway. This year, Thxgiving will be @ KMHD's house. I will be making the meal, natch, and I will have the luxury of two ovens for my use. What I love about Thxgiving is the potluck we have the next evening with friends -- it's a potluck where you bring your leftovers. I have a chowder recipe that I make only once a year with leftover turkey and it is so so good.

Jonathan Thompson will be here tomorrow! Since he missed by birthday party last Saturday, he baked me a pie of my choice. I opted for sweet potato pie, it's been too long. It should make for an awesome hang out because JT is sweet!

So, I got a new phone. I love it! It makes me feel very important. I like that I can carry a calendar with me at all times now. I have four calendars: my work one, my personal one that I keep at work, one at home, and now my phone. I can't live w/o calendars! If I don't write it down, I will forget. In fact, I forgot that I had a lunch date with some paralegal yesterday. Oops! Anyway, the new phone is part of my *11 point program to get more organized.

Word on the street is that ATM's band Eclipse Glasses is playing WWT next Friday. That's what I hear and my source is pretty reliable. Heh.

Taken yesterday, these sugar skulls got left out in the rain. Sugar melts, honey!:


Songs of the day: Dead Kennedy's California Uber Alles & Holiday In Cambodia, Looking Glass's Brandy

*There is no 11 point program to get more organized, but there should be. Need that intern, man! I wonder if there is a kid in my neighborhood that likes being helpful and is sweet. Is that sick or what?
