thebratqueenYou know, it's taken me far longer than it should have for me to figure out that the high-pitched chirping sound I'm hearing on and off is actually being made by a bug outside my open window and not, as I feared, my computer.
Oh yeah. I'm fearsome with my intellect.
Busy weekend. Friday afternoon saw me finally getting a billion errands done. This was an impressive feat since it was a billion and five degrees outside, a thing which in no way was helped by the time I decided to sit down for lunch and unfortunately picked the hottest pizza place EVER. I kid you not when I say my ice cold coke turned totally warm within five to ten minutes of me taking it out of the case. Scary.
I did, however, cement my dyke credentials that day. I bought myself a gas grill over at Home Depot, the only place in town which had grills that I could afford. Getting it delivered, though, would have involved sixty bucks and them not being able to tell me when it would get there, which was just not going to work. So for twenty bucks I rented one of the huge-ass Home Depot pickup trucks and drove the thing back to my place myself. Dad helped me actually get it off the truck and onto the porch. So now there's a big hulking grill on my back porch and I can BBQ all year round if I so choose! Plus now I can say I've driven a truck. It's a life goal ;)
Yesterday I went into Brooklyn to meet Annika. She is, in fact, very small. I was fortunate enough to be able to give her her first bottle, then doubly fortunate when she waited until she was in Older Brother's lap to spit up some of the contents of said bottle. I told her she would be getting a good Xmas present for that.
And now I have maybe five minutes in which to decide if I'm feeling well enough to go into work or not. Grrr.
ETA: Oh, and yet again email is apparently working intermittently, so if you have anything urgent for me to see you can put it in a comment here.
