Knorr instant corn soup makes the perfect work snack.
Neosporin is awesome... I get a lot of papercuts and never thought to put neosporin on but it makes it heal like 5 days faster than usual. (I get them deep)
Can't wait for Christmas... I want to put up my Christmas tree now. This weekend. Would that be weird to have that up before Halloween? Well maybe we can watch the Nightmare before Christmas to get in the mood for both.
Speaking of Halloween - can't remember the last time I dressed up for Halloween. Can't remember the last time I saw a trick-or-treater. I remember being so embarrassed when we were little that we had to use pillow cases for trick or treating. Finally one year got a fancy pumpkin-looking basket to collect candy and realized they were smaller and fit less candy than the pillowcase. They were heavier too. Sometimes simpler is best.
Time has been flying by. Weekends are too short. Weekdays go too fast. Is this just part of aging? The more I facebook, the more I miss high school. I miss having those 5 minute breaks in the halls in between classes. It's kind of a good reset. Maybe at the end of every hour I should walk around the halls of my office. Too bad our carpet isn't orange.
Parents are difficult. I think adults hit a certain age where they start to reverse and act like a child again. When this happens, is it our responsibility to step in and be the voice of reason? I would like to think so, and am happy to do so, but Asian parents in particular still hold on to the tradition of "parents always above children" so they will never listen anyway.
Lulu reminds me more and more of Moley every day. I think it might be because she's breaking out of her shell and now has "only child" syndrome. She is constantly demanding attention and food. She knows how to get what she wants.
I had the biggest craving for Coldstone's the other day so Steve and I went, about 15 minutes to closing time. I normally get a Like It - Banana Ice Cream - Almonds - Chocolate Chips. Well, first they were out of Banana. After trying 4 flavors, settled on Vanilla... then they ran out of almonds. Ended up with Vanilla - Choco Chips - Brownie. Not as good as my usual.
I am in inbox hoarder. I don't organize my e-mail well. My personal e-mail, Closet Therapy e-mail, work e-mail. All of my inboxes have over 1000 e-mails. I'm pretty good about deleting spam, but nothing else. The ironic part is that even though I rarely delete, I seem to always delete e-mails that I need to refer back to later. Once my mom e-mailed me a recipe for BBQ chicken and I couldn't find it. Guess I deleted it.
Steve and I finished Halo 3. He let me play co-op with him and I think I did pretty good! I practiced a little on Halo 2 -- took me a few hours to learn how to walk. But now that's a total of 3 games I've finished, ever. Xenogears, Kingdom Hearts and now Halo 3.
