Hobbit-ish Potpurri: Navel Gazing

Good Evening Humble Readers!

Tonight's post is just a little bit of odds and ends. Nothing too earth-shattering...

******
We've finally decided on what to get my Beloved's mom for Christmas. There is this teeny tiny little town south of here that is home to an incredible dinner theater. When I say teeny tiny, I mean super-dooper teeny. As in, the theater arts school, staff and resident theater company are the bulk of the population. As in, there isn't a gas station in the town. That's TEENY! Anyway, we are going to take Mom C to one of the shows there in the spring. Now if I could just convince my Beloved that we need to go to their Christmas production this year (A Child's Christmas in Wales)...

Today was a bit of a bummer for me at work. One of my favourite staff members told me that she's going to have to give her two-week notice. She's just landed a great new job, and on a personal level I'm really happy for her. It's just going to suck losing her... especially at this time of year.

Ok, so I've been drinking the grapefruit juice... and liking it a lot actually. The thing is, I haven't noticed any change in my cm, except perhaps for it's absence. Hmmmm....

Why is it that when you have a canker sore or an achy tooth you can't help but tease it all the time? I burned the roof of my mouth the other day on some pizza, and that little piece of skin between my two front teeth is driving me insane!

I think that it is a statistical improbability for me to have a pair of socks for more than a month without putting a hole in at least one. I am so sick of trying to match up socks that aren't air conditioned.

I think the "paycheck vacuum" (courtesy of Alana) may be headed our way. The check engine light came on in the car yesterday. Here's hoping that it's just that the gas cap wasn't put on tight enough or something.

  1. Ahhh, I know the teeny lil' town you speak of.... I went there for a band tour one year in high school and we got to see Steel Magnolias and have dinner. It was wonderful and was the cutest little town ever. I haven't been back since, but would love to go!

  3. I know what you mean about burning your mouth or having a canker sore - same for me biting my lip, which I did last night. How annoying!

    Also, I have the same sock problem. My sock drawer is FULL of holey socks because I can't throw them away because they're really almost new! I can't throw away almost-new socks! I guess they just don't make them like they used to.

  4. I love that you say "super-dooper" and I too am a sock sink hole. The holes are always in the same place, on the balls of my feet. I don't really walk exclusively on them, do I?

Hobbits are social creatures, and love hearing from friends old and new. Pull up a comfy chair and let's get to know one another.
