I have this huge thing growing on the side of my neck. It’s a cross between a pimple and a frankenstein bolt. When I have the webcam on today, it will NOT be aimed at that side of my head.

I thought when I got to be an adult I wouldn’t have these problems any more. I clean my face. I eat healthier than I did as a teen (still not perfectly, but for breakfast I had a bowl of Special K Red Berries with a banana sliced in, and 1% milk, because I just can’t drop below 1% to skim. I’ve gone as low as I’m going to go.) Should I go back to the poptart diet? I think not. H, I’ve lost another 3-4 pounds in the past few weeks. At this rate I’ll hit my target weight in a few more years!

It’s raining like a sonofagun out there. Funny thing, though. As we drove across town to the daycare lady’s house, there was snow on the ground. None at my house. Holy cow, isn’t weather FUN!?

Yes, I voted. I got to color in circles with a Sharpie pen. Very high tech.

I did too much typing for the past week and now whenever I rest my elbow my fingers tingle so I’m just trying to rest, which is really screwing up the Nanowrimo word count, let me tell you.

At the grocery store this morning I asked for a rain check for maple syrup. Now prior to today, if there was a sale on something and the shelves were bare, I would just come back later in the week, if at all. I mean, Barq’s rootbeer will be on sale again in the future, right? But this was 80 cents off, and that’s too much to ignore. So now I have a rain check. I hope I don’t lose it.

In other grocery karma, I made lunch Saturday for the three kids, and we blew through the rest of my tuna, my american cheese, a loaf of bread, and a big bottle of “Elmo Punch”. I was amazed. Well at the store today, everything on but the bread was on sale(!) The tuna, regular-sized chunk white, was only 77 cents a can! I bought 5 cans. I mean, I normally pay about $1.29 for the same brand. Same deal for the cheese and the Elmo Punch. It was very weird to have a list in my hand and have most of the items on it be on sale.
