Month: March 2002

I misplaced my wallet and it’s making me insane. I cannot for the lfe of me remember if I put it in my pocket or not this morning. I had it here in the house because I took out three dollars (I had to pay for my son’s field trip) and I don’t remember what I did with it after that. It’s not in any pockets, purses or the van. So if I didn’t put it in my pocket, I might have dropped it into my son’s daycare bag. I left a message with the owner to see if she can spot it in there.

If it isn’t in there, I will assume someone stole it or it dropped on the ground and I never saw it. I don’t think that happened though. I never drop my wallet. If it’s in my coat pocket it can’t escape. Did I leave it on the seat of the fan and someone grabbed it from her driveway? I don’t think so. And it wasn’t in the van when I was at his daycare because I would have seen it. Maybe I’ll cruise the parking lot at the daycare but seriously, it just has to be in his bag at her house. I hope she gets home soon.

Bought one of those little scented candle thingies they sell in the Glade Plug-Ins aisle. Glade Candle Scents candle. I got apple and cinnamon, cause I thought mixed dead mouse and, say, jasmine, wouldn’t be good.

I haven’t been back in the closet since I did that. I assume everything is good. My mother thought I was a total reject for not going up into the attic to harvest the little bodies. “Do you realize I’d have to go through pulling up insulation to find them? I’m just going to let them decompose. Eventually the smell should stop, right?”

Is it time to list things I am thankful for again? Cause I have some. I am VERY VERY THANKFUL that the trapdoor to my attic is in the closet of a room we don’t use much cause IT STINKS OF DEATH AND DYING IN THAT CLOSET! Holy shit, what would it smell like if it was actually HOT outside? I’m telling you, I went into the closet to put back the stuff that I’d moved for the exterminator, and PHEW! I thought maybe someone had stored a litter box in there or something. Gah.

That smell will go away, right?

You know what’s really cool about living in New England? You can drive through multiple states in just a couple of hours. Today I accompanied my parents to Freeport Maine to go to the LL Bean store. The big one. The main one. They have a trout pond in the middle of the first floor.

How cool is it to leave Massachuetts at 8am and be at the Maine border before 10am? Pretty good. Unfortunately, a cold day, 37 when we got up there. That was WAY TOO COLD. Tomorrow should make up for it…69 !!!! You won’t be seeing ME online, baby!

Lunch Rating:

SmartOnes Roasted Chicken with Sour Cream & Chive Mashed Potatoes

I’m giving it a 3 out of 5. It had such potential. Wait, it’s diet food. Maybe it’s a 3.5 because it’s better than a lot of the frozen diet meals. I can’t judge it against REAL mashed potatoes.
