Ramblings

Oh I'm really tired right now and david just said I stink like a rabbit.
Umm, What the heck?

Today was Howard Stern's last terrestrial radio show.

The living room is playing The Pixies on cable radio. The kitchen radio is blaring a talk show. Why are there two different radios on at the same time?! Which one should I listen to? I'm so confused.

My eyes are tired and strained. I took Aliene to the street fair today. I think she liked it (I hope). It was coooold and I wasn't wearing any socks. I didn't see the Tote Bag Lady so I couldn't get an Audrey Hepburn tote bag the way I had planned. So sad. Instead I got some dried fruit (mango with chile & papaya sweetened with honey) and some honey sticks for tea. Two in blackberry, two in almond, one in orange. Mmmm orange honey. They were 5 for $1 but the honey salesman called us "big spenders" when we handed over our dollar bill. I bet he thought he was being clever.

This weekend better not go by fast!! There is so much to do before Christmas Day. Like get a tree, for starters. I still need a few more presents, but the Burbank traffic is just killing my soul. It takes damn near half an hour to travel 3 miles to Target. I bet the city planners were Cal State LA graduates. And don't get me started on the Glendale Galleria. Those shoppers will MOW YOU DOWN if you don't step out of their way. The parking is just as horrendous. The employees have to park at the Los Angeles Zoo and get shuttled in. (There's a joke in there somewhere). Just thinking about it all makes me want to hide under the covers until St. Patrick's Day.

Have I mentioned my proposed moratorium yet? For the entire month of January I am going on a self imposed shopping hiatus. Primarily because I've been going a little overboard the past few weeks. I also think it will be an interesting experiment to see how well I fare. Only groceries, fuel for the car, and bills will be allowed.


This ought to be good...
