1. Today at work I had quite a find: an incredibly hard to find book of photos and stories from fans of Bruce Springsteen, that's not sold in stores or most online outlets. It retails for $50, I got it for $15. It' good to have connections.

2. I just ordered two new ballcaps-a 1914 Brooklyn Tip-Tops and a 1956 Vancouver Mounties. They'll look spiffy.

3. I had sausage and beans for dinner tonight.

(And he was wearing his Springsteen t-shirt today....)

Safe travels, ej. It'll be good havin' ya back!

1. I just cut, trimmed, filed, and dipped ten flat steel bones. I'm already contemplating going back to pre-cuts. Such a pain in the ass. And I think the ten I did blew through my airline shears already. (this is a for-me project, since I had a couple yards of burgandy taffeta leftover from another project.

2. I got a nastyish email from my ex. He's having a party this weekend, I facebooked my reply (ugh) as "maybe" since my mom was going to be in town. I got the "maybe? MAYBE? WTF, Kelly?!" response. I think he assumed I was snubbing him or something. So I went off. In retrospect, I think I overreacted, but knowing him, he'll be filled with guilt and I won't have to make my own drinks all night.

3. I now, thanks to ej, want mexican food. Specifically a tostata from this place in Niagara Falls where the last time I was there I flirted with the waiter until he walked into a wall, then felt bad. Never doubt the power of a low-cut shirt.

(oh, and ej, I think the weather will clear... it was nasty-nasty in Buffalo this afternoon, but it's fine now. So if they have our storm from earlier it'll pass in a bit)

1// Training for a few hours each day at my new job while still working almost full time at my old job.

2// It's making me frazzled and I'm forgetting all kinds of non-work things that need to get done.

3// But my new office is in THE building downtown and has an awesome view and I think I will like it alot.

1. Skipped the gym, stayed home and laid around eating junk food and watching SATC season 1 (which I have a new appreciation for after the movie) . Twas exactly what I needed.

2. Probably babysitting tomorrow night so Stynx and our pastors can go see Dark Knight, which I have no interest in seeing.

3. Must get around to seeing In the Heights soon, the recording is playing in my head non-stop.

1. Am halfway through my aweome, relaxing, stay-at-home vacation. And am very relaxed.

2. Went to see Spiritualized tonight with a friend from work, and they ROCKED OUR SOCKS OFF. I'm still buzzing.

3. I just realized it's now technically Thursday, but whatevah, I'm moving slow due to all the relaxation.

1. Tired. So very, very tired.

2. Have to finish a job application tonight for a job that I don't want to apply for.

3. Despite being on something of a high about life lately, things came crashing down on me again the other night. I just don't want to do this shit any more.

1. I didn't enjoy WALL-E as much as I expected to. But I went with new friends, and that was great.

2. holiday tomorrow! w00t!

3. made carrot cake which did not rise AT ALL (no SR flour and I didn't use enough baking powder) but which still tastes great. OMNOMNOM.

1. Covered in chigger bites from going to pick blueberries at my folks' house
2. I have a great pie crust recipe that I make in the food processor so those berries will have a nice home.
3. NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

1. Fluevog therapy. Just dropped lots of money at the John-Fluevog-Thinks-You're-Awesome 60% off sale. Totally worth is and now I can dump some uncomfortable lower quality shoes & boots from my closet at about 3 pairs per 1 Fluevog.

2. New place is almost ready for moving in. Which means welcoming party should be before October.

3. Despite dozens of nice little wonderfuls, I feel really impossibly low.

1.I saw the perfect watch in an English language Swiss magazine, but no one in Geneva knows what I'm taking about.
2.Still BRUTALLY hot here; I saw men's linen and cotton clam-diggers in a department store, broke down and bought them.
3.A mirror fell off the wall onto my head in a restaurant tonight--no blood, but a bit achey..and I was comped dessert).

Brujita, you should have been comped all your dinner, not just your dessert!!

1. Feeling up and down recently. Can't put my finger on it, exactly.

2. Enjoying work more and more since a disgruntled coworker was transferred.

3. Only two kids in the house for two weeks, and one of those goes to football practice four nights a week. Yay, space!
