Just Passin' Through...

Here's what's on my mind today:

- Woke up cheerful. Rapidly got cranky. Am now thawing my hands over my laptop, laughing at this. Glad that my mood's improving.

- If you don't use Twitter or don't understand Twitter, start reading this, and you will quickly come to love the glory of the Twitter.

- I just finished yet another tub of hummus. I don't know why it's the only thing I want to eat lately. Hummus with multigrain chips. No, I'm not pregnant. Last night I told my boy about eating an entire tub of hummus in one sitting, and how amazed I was that I could pack away that much hummus. He said, "It's because you were sitting down to eat it when I called, and you circled it like a shark to chum before I let you go eat." It's true, you know.

- I had a great time at the Dog Ball. Many adorable puppies were seen, the irony of eating chicken at an animal welfare event was not lost on me, and I managed to stand in heels for over an hour before I started complaining. This is progress. (Oh, and I had the veggie option. Did you know it's possible to render ziti inedible? Neither did I. Neither did my now-chipped tooth.)

- The closing of Jazz Factory was sad but anticlimactic. Perhaps I'm more sentimental than most, but I was really hoping to see people with whom I used to go there.

- Last night I told my boy about a reign of terror I intended to inflict on some unsuspecting target. He stopped me and said, "Spell 'reign'." I replied, "R...ei...gn..." He sighed in relief. I'm guessing he'd had a long day with bad grammar. We spent the next fifteen minutes trying to speak only in correct sentences, until we decided that speaking is a much less formal form of communication and therefore the occasional slip-ups were OK.
