I’m making sweet potatos for Thanksgiving at my cousin’s.
I went in the cabinet to pull out brown sugar.
I pulled out two tubs. One has brown sugar, the other has gingerbread that I made last December.
Right now, I really should be peeling sweet potatoes.
But I’m on line at Macy’s.com looking for a dress to wear to ::cue the music:: “Da da DAAAAA” My 10 year reunion.
If I had my choice, I’d wear this outfit… but I’m sure I would stick out like a sore thumb. How would that be any different than fourteen years ago?
Which reminds me, I need to get my eyebrows threaded first thing Saturday morning, yikes! And good grief, I had bags under my eyes at 14? Maybe it wasn’t such a secret that I didn’t sleep at night!

But my dog thanks me.
This week, at the place one does not blog about: I had to move mountains. I worked late, then went to the gym, then came home and nursed my cold and went straght to bed.
That Darn Dog was mostly gracious about not being walked for a few days. Last night, she began to hint that she was unhappy with being left alone. Usually, when she’s lonely and mad, she pulls the tablecloth off the kitchen table and takes them out in the yard to chew on. Last night she just pulled a blanket off the couch and left it there.
It was a convincing argument, and I could hardly be mad at her, so I blew off NaBloPoMo to walk the dog. She danced the whole way around the block. She was a very happy girl.
Priorities, people!

I thought this was one of the most useful articles from Real Simple magazine… but now I’m looking at this shirt and I’m not so sure.

I am officially too fat to wear jeans… these happen to fit. DH made the mistake of telling me they are cute. Really?
