I made this icon quite a while ago. It seems to me that it was made as a gift for someone, but I don't remember who. I'd like to use it, but if it's yours, please let me know that you don't mind me using it myself. |

Yes I did. I didn't get yelled at by one customer nor did I get trampled, stomped, shoved or in anyway Folded, Stapled, Spindled or Mutilated. The perks of working in a craft store as opposed to a department store we get the overflow and people shopping Christmas decor. We had Cricut machines for $69.99! OMG! Heard lots of horror stories about Target and Best Buy, we had a blizzard, one cashier didn't show, so they stuck me at a register (boo)but only for a while then back on the floor to play with Christmas ornaments and show people around. Off by noon and free till... well tonight anyway.

Over on LJ, janissa11 posted about making pumpkin bread. (I cannot seem to type "pumpkin" without putting a "g" on the end of it. Pumpking?) This morning after work I did the shopping for the Thanksgiving feast, and my usual grocery store did not have a single can of plain pumpkin, and only a few of the pumpkin pie mix. I grabbed two of those, just in case I couldn't find any pumpkin anyplace else. As it turned out, the grocery store I almost never go to had 16 oz. cans of plain pumpkin on sale, four for five bucks. So I had to buy four, right? I was feeling rather smug--instead of forgetting something like I usually do, I came home with extra stuff, rare, hard-to-find stuff!
But still, six cans of pumpkin, and I only need two. Inspired by Janissa, I hunted up a recipe for pumpkin bread that uses the pie mix; it's here at the Nestle/Libby's website. The house now smells like cinnamon and cloves and nutmeg. I am really looking forward to toasting a piece or two of this bread in the morning.
And as I made the bread, I discovered that I did forget something. We're almost out of sugar. Back to the store tomorrow...

Is it me, or does there seem to be a thick fog of pissed-offed-ness floating around these last couple days?
Also, (just to add my little bit to that cloud of irritation) if you are going to quit a group or activity, just quit. No need for the self-righteous last-word post/email/speech to the membership at large, providing the excruciatingly detailed reasons why the thing no longer meets your expectations. You're leaving; if you don't have anything constructive to say to the leadership of said group, don't bother saying anything at all. See ya. (It's a well-worn gripe, yet it feels fresh and sharp every time it happens.)
On a cheerier note, Spouse and I attended a truly delightful party on Sunday. Started with breakfast, it did, and went on to bonfire and drunken roistering in the late hours. I actually fired guns--and enjoyed it. This means that I have to do some thinking about the black-and-white nature of my anti-gun beliefs. (Kindly do not provide your views on this in the comments, if you don't mind. Feel free to email me off-journal if you'd like--it's ee1958 at gmail dot com.) Good food, fun people, lots and lots of laughing and telling stories and goofing around. Wow, I needed that.
I forgot today was Tuesday, and I missed NCIS. Boo. Will have to search for alternative sources, unless it was a rerun.
Did I mention that this month's Details magazine has a brief interview with Ian McKellen? A little discussion of that tattoo is had. He's a very wry person--comes across as being quite charming. And if you like Adam Lambert, there are some right sexy photos of him, as well as a fairly good article.
Off to do some reading and then some sleeping. Nighty-night!
