I’m working a split shift at the restaurant today (gotta leave the house in 20 minutes and my hair is still wet) so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to write something with a little more substance before the clock strikes midnight.
Instead, it’s the annual NaBloPoMo bulleted list post!
- I put $100 into our savings account today. It was really fun, more than I imagined it would be. It will also be fun to pay for having our roof done in cash when I’ve saved up enough by spring to do just that. Isn’t it weird how your idea of what is “fun” changes as you get older?
- Went to Costco yesterday and didn’t buy any vats of anything but did come home with a truckload of carbohydrates: cranberry orange loaf, multi-grain rolls and a giant rosemary foccacia. All of which made Graham hoot with delight.
- The Twilight book is INSIDE THE HOUSE. Her Bad Mother was kind enough to loan it to me yesterday but I haven’t started reading it yet. I walk by its place in the kitchen and eye it suspiciously. Will it really suck me in?
- I’m hoping to get our Christmas decorations down from the loft in the garage this weekend. My office is having a decorating challenge thing where employees get to take time during the day to decorate their cubicles. Work at home employees get to decorate their offices and send in photos. I have a little tree I’ll put up in this room to make things festive. Maybe I’ll stack piles of proofs beneath it in lieu of gifts.
- If you’re shopping in America today, well, you’re crazy. But I hope you have fun.
Happy (Black) Friday!

I just wish I was shopping in America. Have fun decorating your cube…um office.

Did you hear about that W@alMart employee in New York State who got trampled to death in a 5am door-crasher Black Friday stampede. My goodness!
Better to work from home, right?

You’ll get sucked in. And if not, I’ll just start lending you the Sookie books. There’s suckage in there somewhere for you. I promise.

Hey, I was shopping in America on Black Friday!
From home. In my jammies. On the internet. Hallelujah for Amazon DOT COM.
Great list. I want some foccacia now.
