currently keeping me awake at night....

what exactly constitutes "mom jeans" and because I do not know have I been unwittingly wearing them all these years?

going to out on a limb here

but I am gonna say that as long as I don't wind up in a neurosurgeon's office with David my birthday tomorrow will be totally awesome and better than last year even if I am working retail x2 tomorrow.

hair today, gone tomorrow update

hair is growing back-all white although there are still bald spots

when I first shaved my head in April the hair I had was still a dark brown

however lets put the positive spin on this:
over the past year I have saved a fortune in hair care products
I have decided I do look fabulous in hats

I hope the porridge is just right

one job is entirely too hot the other too cold...it'll be a miracle if I don't come down with pneumonia this holiday season

yeah I married mine

not quite sure how it came up in conversation but I was ringing an elderly lady up at the register when at some point she annouced that she had a black cook that had been with her family for years now. I thought it might be awkward to let her know I had one too but he doesn't cook nearly as much as I would like him too, and technically he is my husband not necessarily the cook

black Friday shopping

I do not for the life of me understand the appeal of black Friday shopping.....spoken like a woman who has worked in retail for 20+ years. At midnight my plans are to be fast asleep.

I'm most thankful

that this year is almost over! It has most certainly been a bumpy one to say the least. I am estatic that the most pressing issue of the week thus far has been running out of dog food. I am thankful as we head into this holiday season for my family and friends without them I am nothing and not have pushed through this year. I understand feeling truly blessed

busking

evidently C's music teacher introduced them to the concept this week so of course C is all in and and ready to try his hand at street performing. His plans were to dive in this weekend but I have suggested he work on his Christmas tunes a little more and I would take him to market square at least once this holiday season.

are herbal supplements & energy drinks a load of bull?

yeah probably but I have a favorite, a favorite that I cannot not currently find which is tragic as I head into my first week or 50+ hours of Christmas retail hell spread out over 2 jobs. I found a hopefully suitable replacement & picked up some ginseng tablets this weekend. It is probably a placebo effect but the ginseng seems to be working this morning or maybe I just got a decent night of sleep either way I am feeling particularly alert this morning. We shall see how it goes by next Monday morning

remind my to cross that off my craving list

my food cravings are pretty basic chocolate & salt, pizza at 8 in the morning, coffee,nothing exciting nothing fancy so I thought it odd this morning that I was craving chocolate chip pancakes but there it was. I used some higher end dark chocolate that we had on hand for some baking project or another and I settled down to eat and after a few bites remembered I can't stand chocolate chip pancakes they are just gross why on earth do you need chocolate in a pancake?! Like chocolate,like pancakes but the twain shold never meet on the same plate. Now blueberries are a differnt story entirely I wish we had some blueberries on hand
