correctiveshoes621Okay. Back to work, tonight.
I've learned:
a) as messy as they can be, these cats are allfuckin' brats treasures, and good company, with their own personalities and idiosyncrasies, but - in the end - just loving little four-legged people beings that never stop surprising me.
b) I actually have WAY more...social anxiety/personal appearance issues than I previously thought - and so do others. MUST work on this. Not getting any younger, folks, and it's all downhill, from THIS, so..
c) having no money frees me from a lot of decision-making, especially when I see how others spend theirs, and the decisions they make.
d) that I MUST quit smoking.
e) that the internet CAN get boring, eventually.
Good things:
a) the teenagers that came up to me in the Thorndale Good Will - freaking out over my NASA teeshirt. We talked for a good while - I told the boy that I got it at Target, of all places - they were cute as all hell, and had been planning a road trip to Johnson Space Center, but, 'summer got away from them'. They were all bright and beautiful, to the last, and their manners and curiosity and friendliness gave me hope for this generation, coming up - and I told them so. I told my son, when I got home, that I'd met my, 'future daughter-in-law', LOL.
b) my son is now in the, 'super-sekrit underground', VW In-Crowd - and is getting roughly two grands' worth of work done on his car for......less than three-hundred. The Mystery Poohbah is going to take him in-hand and do the work with him, so he'll learn, too. DJ is actually thinking of purchasing a...Scirocco, now, as his daily driver..and keeping the Golf in storage with this guy. Twenty bucks a month. Not too shabby.
c) I can be REALLY creative with the make-do cooking. We were the recipients of a TON of broken taco shells.....and I've found loads of uses for them...well, a couple, anyway. Muffins...breading for chicken...I created a, 'pineapple upside-down' cornmeal pudding that aint half bad...
d) music really IS what keeps me alive. :)

There is a crazy cooking show where they give the contestants a basket of completely unrelated - and generally weird - ingredients and creative cooking ensues. You should go on that show! :) My husband is the same way. We'll have nothing in the cupboards and he whips up fantastic meals. It's a talent, my dear. (I can't even cook when I have right ingredients and a recipe!)
