+ Someone please tell me it's not actually less than two weeks until Thanksgiving. I like denial. Denial is happy. It's not that I don't love Thanksgiving - rather, I love it - it's just Thanksgiving comes right before Christmas, which comes right before the end of the year. In my mind, it can't possibly be later in 2008 than July. Seriously, now.
+ I loooooove my outfit today. Yep - loooooove. I'm wearing that cream silk wrap shirt with ruffles and a pair of dark jeans that I got from the thrift store the other day, and it is awesome.
+ DUDE. It's only 3:15 and Ken has already given me the sermon notes! I might be able to get out of here by 6:00!
+ According to SuperCook.com, I can make over 1,000 recipes with the ingredients in my kitchen. In case those of you who have cooked in my kitchen and found yourself appalled at the lack of ingredients (and small appliances) are wondering, I did not make that up. Of course, the basil and oregano are still the bottles
abideinchrist bought me when she came to visit and couldn't believe I didn't own either one. Hehe. Unfortunately, SuperCook doesn't let you search for just healthy recipes. I'd really like for us to eat better, especially since we won't be rejoining the gym. I also need to figure out how to convince Isaac that a meal doesn't always have to include meat.
+ And according to this article, the worst hot coffee drink anywhere is Starbuck's hot White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha - otherwise known as my favorite coffee drink. Heh. A venti-sized glass has 660 calories, 22 g fat (14 g saturated), and 95 g sugar. I mean, I knew it was bad for me, but I didn't know it was that bad. I certainly didn't think it would have twice the calories of a single with cheese from Steak 'n Shake!
+ I've started watching Buffy, the Vampire Slayer again. Such a funny show. I just finished season 1. I forgot that that person died so early in the series. That means we get Faith soon, right? I was also thinking, as I watched Buffy fighting the Master yesterday, how funny it is that my dad let us watch that show the first few seasons it was on (then I went to college), but dislikes Harry Potter. People are not often logical. But I love him anyway. And I'm glad he let us watch Buffy. Hehe.
+ So, I heard a big crash earlier. I went and looked in every room in the direction of the sound except the bathrooms, and found nothing. I just thought I was hearing things. Then just a minute ago I went to use the bathroom and found the cause: there's a leak somewhere which warped the bathroom wall so much that the hook holding up a big mirror came out, and the mirror crashed onto the floor. O.o There's broken glass everywhere, and a bubble of water in the wall. ¡No es bueno! That really stinks. (But at least I'm not crazy...)
E.T.A.: + So, today I made a Newsboys station on Pandora. The first song it played was "Breakfast", which I hadn't heard in who knows how long. Now I'm listening to Air1, and guess which song they're playing? Yep - "Breakfast". Weeeiiird.
+ Well, time to water the plants and finish the bulletin. Happy weekend!

Date: 2008-11-14 10:45 pm (UTC)Yeah, I don't drink white mocha at all for the sole reason that 1) I think it looks disgusting and 2) It has a booty-load of bad stuff in it.
You could go for a tuxedo mocha to wean yourself off.

Date: 2008-11-14 10:58 pm (UTC)Haha, maybe that's why they put lids on them?
What's in a tuxedo mocha? Can I just ask for that and they'll know what I mean? Thanks for the suggestion!

What did you think of last night's SPN?
no subject
Date: 2008-11-14 11:06 pm (UTC)Dude, it was just May! Hehe.
Eh. I don't like that they're making the angels be the bad guys and a demon be a good guy. I keep hoping there's some grand arc where they just don't understand God's ways, but I'm doubting it. Bummer, too, 'cause the angel thing could've been so cool. I did love the girl saying that the first thing she heard was "Dean Winchester has been saved." Very cool. I'm also annoyed that we had an almost-sex scene last night and from the looks of the preview we might get another next week. GRR.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-14 11:12 pm (UTC)Crap. I did. Okay... not too bad. I love the Angels...and yeah, I thought they could be a great part of the story. Hope they don't mess it up too bad.
Bleh sex scenes. Sometimes though I'm surprised at how few there are considering Dean... so I guess we can be thankful it's not worse.
And I seriously need a better Supernatural icon. Cause that's not even a SPN icon! It's from Dark Angel... ah but who cares? It's Jensen and that's always good. :-D
no subject
Date: 2008-11-14 11:42 pm (UTC)Well, I didn't have high hopes for them to get the theology right, so I'm hardly shocked, but it's still a bummer that they're making the boys trust demons over angels.
I know - although if they did more, we probably would not have gotten so into the show. Well, at least maybe not. Hehe. You can't beat the humor and premise of SPN, and that might have outweighed the sex. It already outweighs the horrendous theology.
Yes, you do! You should steal some of mine. I love them all. =o)

Date: 2008-11-14 11:13 pm (UTC)I'm not crazy about the sex either but I love Anna because she reminds me of a Prophet declaring that the "end is nigh" as well as there seems to be a parallel between she and the Anna that was there for Jesus' dedication. (Since I *think* she was a Prophetess as well?)
*sigh* I just PRAY that everything is explained and that I don't have to hate the show because of where the writers took it.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-14 11:46 pm (UTC)Also - it drives me INSANE how they keep calling it "the book of Revelations". While there may be multiple revelations in it, it's actually called the book of Revelation. No S. Grr.
I really like her too. I totally don't see her with Dean though, so they will have to really convince me of that next week. That Anna from the Bible was indeed a prophetess. That would be an interesting parallel. I just wish the stupid angels weren't trying to stupidly kill her. Grr.
AGREED.

Date: 2008-11-14 11:54 pm (UTC)I think a lot of stores, like Best Buy and Circuit City, are putting a lot of their DVD shows on sale for $15 on Black Friday. I may venture out just to get Supernatural. We don't actually own any of the seasons. Plus I still need Gilmore Girls season 7.
Me too! I've had a lot of those lately... which is why y'all have seen so many pictures of me lately. Hehe.
I love Christmas. This year won't be quite as good though 'cause Aaron, Ange and the kids are going to her family's for 2 weeks. There's not much more fun than seeing little kids open their presents, and we won't get any of that this year. =o/
no subject
Date: 2008-11-15 03:17 am (UTC)And yes OMWF is classic! I've been to a sing-a-long several times. It's awesome! Season 6 really isn't all that great, but that episode is awesome. And yeah, not a huge fan of Tara/Willow. And yeah, there is a bit of Xander/Willow action. But it happens when they are both with other people. Not so great. It's really sweet, but sad too.
Hmmm. Maybe I should hit up a couple of those stores... Sadly I'm working till 12:30. So may not get all the good shows.
Yeah, this year we are not going to North Carolina as we do every year for Christmas. And that makes Christmas not as exciting. Every Christmas Eve our family has a big reunion/gift exchange. And it's always fun to watch people get their gifts!

Date: 2008-11-18 03:16 am (UTC)What a bummer that you don't get to go to NC! I hate when traditions like that can't happen for a time. I still miss my family's old Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions. They're impossible now though. =o(

Supercook? What, do you just tell it the different random things you have in your kitchen?
I've never seen the show (though I know my step-brother loved it), but I liked the movie Buffy.
Holy crap! What a mess! When we lived in NH, Jill hit and shattered the wall mirror at the top of the stairs. Talk about a mess. Will you be able to fix the wall easily? I hope it doesn't end up costing you more money. Well, I know it'll cost you more money, but it seems like you keep fixing stuff for something else to go wrong. :(

Date: 2008-11-18 03:26 am (UTC)As I said before, I'm working on it. I will probably have pics up tomorrow.
Yeah, basically. And then it links you to all the recipes at recipe sites (allrecipes.com, cooks.com, etc.) that you can make. Pretty cool.
I liked the Buffy movie too, though now it's been so long since I've seen it that I hardly remember it. It was written by the same guy (the brilliant Joss Whedon), but the show is a little bit darker. Still hilarious though.
I think insurance will pay for a lot of it. I don't know though, but it was sure a mess.

Date: 2008-11-19 02:11 pm (UTC)I remember almost nothing about the movie besides the fact that I liked it.

Ah, Newsboys and the good ol' days of Christian music. I can't tell you how many times I have seen them in concert. "Breakfast" holds a special place in my heart.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-25 08:04 pm (UTC)It is! I like it a lot.
I've never seen Newsboys in concert, but I have seen a lot of other famous old school Christian musicians: dc Talk, Audio Adrenaline, Michael W. Smith, Phillips, Craig & Dean, etc., etc. I love concerts!
