G is for Gillianne.

I love gilliannegarret. Really, she's one of the most soothing presences on my journal, and she's a joy to read. She evokes her emotions well - be it angry, proud, sympathetic, love... even just tired. She's quick to comment when things are rough, but she's just as devout when things are dandy. She makes you feel loved and important, and she offers some fabulous advice.

Everyone needs a gilliannegarret on their friends' list. :-)

Cold.

I couldn't stand it any longer. My nose and fingertips have been like ice for hours, and the A/C hasn't been on since this morning (though the fan still was earlier). I'm freezing! The sudden, cooler temperatures have made me turn on my heater tonight - even if just for a bit.

Brrrr! All the cool rain today hasn't helped things, either. Of course, now my house has that lovely, "burning dust" smell...

Philip is flabbergasted.

I just called him up at Runza, knowing that it's towards the end of the night, and they're probably not too busy. Add in the current weather, and... yeah. Anyway, I called him up just to tell him, "I love you."

His response? "What do you want?"

I gasped in mock hurt, but really, he answered exactly how I knew he would. He's so predictable. I told him that I really didn't want anything, that I only called to tell him that I loved him. He still didn't believe me.

"What do you want me to bring home?" Nothing, we already have dinner here. "What do you want to drink?" Nothing, honey, we have drinks here. "Uh-huh. So what do you want me to do on the way home?" Nothing, I swear!

Sheesh, you'd think I never tell the boy I love him. :-P

LJ-dom.

w00t!

I just noticed that my userpic availability has increased again from 133 to 134! I check on it every few days, knowing that we're supposed to be getting one more every two months, but it's now happened!

*celebrates LJ geekery*

A little bit of everything.

Diet Dr Pepper Berries 'n Cream - mmmmmmm.

I used the last of my Pampered Chef® Barbecue Seasoning tonight. This makes me very, very sad. They no longer sell this particular seasoning, and it really is the BEST on the market. I've been using my last bit very sparingly over the past six months or so. I'm sad. However, the BBQ chicken pizza was wonderful as always. :-)

This morning was the first meeting of the scrapbook group from the church. We regulars had decided it would just be best to have it in my home this year: with so few people ever coming last year, it was a pain for me to lug ALL my stuff up to the church and then hardly have anyone show up. And I had to keep bringing my stuff, in case newbies showed up and needed the scrapping tools. So this year, since the regular folks all have children in the M-W-F morning preschool group, they just followed me home and we started working. Heather came over as well (she makes at least the first meeting of every year - crazy the way her work schedule just happens to fall that way), and she brought us all breakfast from Panera Bread. Mmmmmmm - a cinnamon crunch bagel was the perfect start to my morning!

I got two pages completed, and I'm happy with them. They are part of a six page fold-out spread that I'm working on. Now I've only got two left to complete.

After picking Jack up at preschool, he asked what was for lunch. I told him we were having sandwiches, to which he replied, "Can I have salad instead?" Sure, I'm not going to argue with that. He's my crazy little salad kid, but I'm grateful for that. I went out in the drizzling rain to pick some fresh veggies, and I cam back with four large tomatoes, eight green peppers and a TON of cherry tomatoes. Jack helped me to put everything on the counter, and he counted it all for me - we had 55 cherry tomatoes! Between our salads at lunch and mine for dinner, plus the numerous tomatoes I've popped every time I walk through the kitchen, we've eaten 39 tomatoes already!

Philip should be home soon, so I'm going to go load the dinner dishes in the dishwasher. We'll probably watch a movie, and I'll probably scrapbook. Wheeee!
