Day Twelve - Lazy Day Dots

This is the first day of NaBloPoMo that I haven't been chomping at the bit to post. Why? Laziness. I didn't have the best night's sleep last night, and I've wanted nothing more than to have a lazy, do-nothing day. But I committed to post, and post I must. But what's there to say on a lazy, do-nothing day?

  • Did you know that I almost always respond to comments in the comment section? So, if you leave a comment, come back in a day or two and there might be a reply.

  • I'm a thumb away from finishing my first Fetching fingerless glove.

  • I have acquired a used bread machine. I've become everything I loathe. All those years in culinary school, kneading my own dough, and it's come to this. I feel dirty. Want a slice of oatmeal-whole wheat?

  • I spent a chunk of the day reorganizing my music in iTunes. This included editing a bunch of really bad mix CDs and trying to recall the tracklists for the entire Indigo Girls discography through 1999. My head hurts.

  • I have a date on December 2 to see the Black Keys with my 17-year-old boyfriend. Okay, that's not true. I don't have a 17-year-old boyfriend. He's only 16, but he'll be 17 in time for the show. And he's not really my boyfriend; he's my pal PKB's oldest son, The Big One, as opposed to his 7-year-old brother, The Little One. Trust me, it's all legal.

  • If the world was perfect, I'd spend New Year's Eve in Chicago, catching The Features opening for The Raconteurs. In this perfect world, I'd also have an IQ of 195, a photographic memory, and an ass that just won't quit.

  • Eating salsa mixed with light cream cheese at midnight? Not smart. It will interfere with sleeping and lead to lazy, do-nothing blog entries like this.

You will learn to love the bread machine, honest. I never bake in it, however. I let it do the work and then I put it in the oven and bring out a masterpiece. Is there anything better than hot bread and butter? Well, yes there is...but it is still good. I found that so much was wasted when I baked it in the machine, with that mixing paddle stuck up inside.

In my perfect world, I find a bra I like and one that likes me, and it is never discontinued.

I have an ass that won't quit. Don't be envious. I mean it won't quit getting more padded.

I love knitting Fetchings and am close to finishing my fifth pair - two more planned! - but I hate putting in those thumbs.

Uh..I hesitate, but were you at Schnucks on Arsenal Sunday afternoon about 1PM?

Too bad you or the 17 year old boyfriend won't be around here next Saturday. Since Drew is missing work all this weekend, if he is feeling up to working next weekend, I doubt he'll be able to get Saturday off for my Black Keys show. Lisa has expressed some interest even though she isn't familiar with the weekend. I hope she can go!

Oooohhhh, The Black Keys... They're comin' here in December and I wanna go, but I think it's a Thursday Night -- so it'll take some talkin' to talk my Clay into it.

Kathie, hot bread with homemade jelly. That's the good stuff. And I second your wish for the perfect bra in my perfect world.

Dix, my ass doesn't quit expanding, either.

Pharmgirl, that couldn't have been me, as I didn't leave the house (or my pajamas) yesterday.

Exena, I hope you get someone to go to your show with you! Too bad you can't join us for ours. I was going to ask, but I know it wouldn't work with finals and your UK trip. Next time, perhaps.

Debbie, go so them! BKs are great live. Leave Clay's ass at home and gloat afterwards, if you must.

Robin, your ass is great. Trust me on this.
