I'm up a little early this morning. If I can't sleep and it's late enough, I'll just give up on sleeping and get out of bed. I may as well check my email and take the trash out, etc.
My friend Pete from back home sent us a food processor as a wedding gift. It's a little late, but I'm not complaining. It's a 7-cup Cuisinart stainless steel-- ( Read more... )

I'm taking a few moments to get my mind off work. It's often difficult for me to focus, but whaddayagonnagdo? I keep thinking that it's Wednesday for some reason. Maybe I had a dream about a whole day or something. Maybe I just packed a lot of stuff into Monday. Who knows ( Read more... )
