Bits of Life

How the heck did I get a 14-year-old in the body of a 4-year-old? It is amazing really. I thought it would take years to perfect the tone of frustration and angst that one can inject into the word, ‘fine’. Apparently I have an over-achiever or is she just amazingly gifted? Dunno.

Pretty sure I didn’t win the Forrester.

Got my Harry P. It sure is dark. I’m only 80 pages in so far, but wow. Not really a kid’s book. Brilliant, though.

I missed the Farmer’s Market today. That is disappointing. At 8 I was ready. By 9 (when it started) I had already forgotten about it until 2 (ended an hour previous). DANG! No fresh green beans for me. You know, if I were incredibly rich (I’d have to be to justify the expense), I would have my own cook. I wouldn’t have to cook or grocery shop every again.

And I wouldn’t miss it.

And they could make me a coffee with chocolate and whipped cream–everyday!

And I would have acne for the rest of my wealthy little life.

See, coffee, it seems, gives me acne. Not really, fair, is it? I finally get a hankering for it, and it gives me zits. Okay, okay, not really a hankering for coffee per se, more like all the sugar and fat I put in it. Oh yes, yummy, yummy. Offer me a little coffee wit some chocolate in it and a little shipped cream and I’m like, “Let’s see…wonderful, warm, cozy drink that is sweet and yummy and delectable or…give me that damn drink already!”

I got a ‘gift’ card with my Harry P since I ordered it from Chapters. You can win $5-$1000 if you spend more than 50 bucks in store in August. I am such a sucker for contests lately. I even almost entered a contest for Coke. (That icoke thingy, and then I realized that more than likely, I would have to give out personal info that I am really not that interested in sharing and I wouldn’t win anyway.) But back to Chapters. I am a sucker for books. SUCKER! But, I hate to spend so much on them. But that card is so tantalizing. What if I won $1000! Could you imagine all the books I could buy! Oh my god! It would be heaven! I spent over $800 in Chapters in two hours one day. Okay, it was for work. But it was SO much fun!

Anyway, if I won that, I would buy all of Meg Cabot’s books (or at least the adult ones). I’d even buy hardcover. I love Meg’s blog. I’m not much of a blog reader, but I read hers. I’d love to meet her. She’s got a crazy cat, Gem, that she has dubbed, ‘Slutty McSlut A lot’. That is just too funny. That is something that we would do. I mean, we do have a cat named ‘M’. Not from James Bond, either. As in ‘LMNOP’. Yup, and they let us name a PERSON!
