Things To Do Today

(like an adult)

1. go to the bank (figure out if I got paid this week, possibly get free bank coffee)

2. go to the drugstore (slightly more classy than buying Christmas gifts at the grocery store, right?)

3. go to the grocery store (delicious food is delicious, plus we will need to eat dinner tonight, I guess)

4. decide whether potato chips are an acceptable breakfast food (I’m leaning towards yes)

5. lend out my car, stay home to watch Burn Notice (prioritization is key)

6. start writing something for my Christmas fic (I’ll probably wind up taking a nap instead)

7. bookmark stuff for delicious (why am I such a slacker about this?)

8. possibly purchase an adorable llama plushie

9. stop writing this list before it veers even more completely away from adultitude

things that are AWESOME this week

Because sometimes I forget, in amongst the griping about coworkers and extended family and my car and my job, that these things are part of it all too.

1. THE MOST AWESOME. Last night, shopping with the fam, trying to figure out what size I’m supposed to get. It’s long underwear, and it’s in a box, and I’m never sure what the accepted thing to do is with packaged clothing — can you try it on? Is that weird? But all the measurements are in inches, and it’s not like I actually know my waist size or inseam in inches. So I say, “Hey, Mom, any chance you have a tape measure in your pocketbook?” thinking that it’s a total long shot, because who would have that?

MOMS WOULD, THAT’S WHO.

And my mom is all, “Oh, sure, it’s right here.” No lie, she totally had one of those roll up tape measures RIGHT AT HAND. This wins the prize for most awesome thing this week. THANKS MOM!

2. RUNNER UP AWESOME. The Panera card — free coffee, free cookie, free peppermint espresso, all in one week. Plus the employees are the same from week to week, which is something that freaks me out about the other food place right next to where I work. Like, why can’t Papa Ginos hold on to any employee for long enough that I see them twice?

3. BRONZE MEDAL AWESOME. Hot mulled cider, because it is never not awesome.

Supernatural (the one with Death and Balthazar)

This was like a weirdo Supernatural version of the gift of the magi. (The only version I’ve ever liked was the one with Bert and Ernie and Mr. Hooper, from the Sesame Street Christmas record.)

(Also, I thought it was a stupid deal, but it still pisses me off that Dean couldn’t follow through.)

QUOTES

“What the hell? Why are you dead?”
-Tessa

“Are you serious?”
“No, I’m being incredibly sarcastic.”
-Dean, Death

“You’re the one with the compass, right? Just don’t mess it up.”
-Sam

“I may have been born at night, boy, but it wasn’t last night.”
-Bobby

“But why?”
“Because, there’s sort of a natural order to things.”
-little girl, Dean

AND: As we go into the winter break, the message to ponder is…

Apparently, it’s all about the souls. Huh.
