I'm running a load of laundry right now, so I'm still kiiind of being productive. I feel a little weird right now. A little out of the loop on things. I'm not a big fan of most tv, so I only watch maaaybe a couple of hours a week. I watch stuff from Netflix, and I poke around on youtube, but that's pretty much it. Since I don't work, it's easy to get away with http://www.catjackson.net/2008/07/i-should-be-updating-my-ipod-but.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cat Jackson)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030457.post-1815564981977500993Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:54:00 +00002008-06-29T19:53:01.175-07:001) I got my hair cut today. It is short (chin length), and so far I think it looks pretty cute. I have reeeally thick hair, so having it a few inches shorter feels AWESOME in this heat. 2) Why are my favorite fruits the most expensive ones? Today at the store I bought a $2 avocado, and a $1.50 bell pepper. Which was on sale from ***$4***. The cherries we bought were also on sale; they were http://www.catjackson.net/2008/06/some-things-on-my-mind.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cat Jackson)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030457.post-4561265520101302581Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +00002008-06-27T17:50:19.020-07:00So, this afternoon a big package came for me from Old Navy and Gap (because you can order from ON, BR, Gap, & Piperlime at the same time now! Woo!!!). It consisted of: three t-shirts, four tank tops, two pairs of yoga capris, and like...I don't even know how many different pairs of panties. I stopped counting at seven.

Well, you can. You can also do a lot of other things that will end up biting you in the ass in the end. Unless you reeeally don't care how much money you make from the sale, and you just want the whole process to be over as quickly as possible.

Yesterday we were SUPPOSED to eat rice, broccers, and tofu for dinner, but the rice requires the oven, and it was too hot for that. Instead Brett grilled some lamb and pitas outside, and I cut up some cucumber & bell pepper, and we just ate that. With hummus. Mmm...hummmmmus...

So I'm like, "Ugh. I don't have time for that." And more time goes by, and then I feel even MORE like I don't have time for it.

Which I guess isn't really productive, but whaddayagonnado. Soon it'll be time for me to get my hair cut, and then we're having friends over for a small dairy-free potluck (woo!), and then tomorrow the plan is to head down to Seattle for some shopping, dinner, and family time.

The doctor says I don't really NEED them, but I wanted them so he wrote me a prescription for reading glasses. I have to say...I'm a little disappointed. I'm legally blind in my right eye, which normally doesn't bother me at all, but it's a bitch to deal with when putting on eyeliner.

One of the videos I watched today was Cook's Illustrated's Four-Cheese Lasagna episode. If you love to cook (I mean REALLY love to cook), you might want to think about subscribing to Cook's.

Well, not so much a *problem,* I guess. But I care waaay too much about the Easter Egg hunt on (fluff)Friends. In all fairness to myself, I am currently playing NO video games. I haven't touched Zelda in like...almost a month. And I haven't played Elebits since Christmastime. So really, this (fluff)Friends thing has become my game replacement.

But he's not feeling well, and I'm not feeling motivated to cook, so we knew it definitely needed to be effortless. In order to get from our town library to our house, there's really only one road to take.

I think it's because most other people work, so when Friday comes around I know it's time for hanging out with Brett and other cool people. Woo!!! Anyway.

I'm feeling very content right now. I have a pot roast simmering away in the kitchen, filling the house with it's delicious pot-roasty smells (think pork, soy sauce, black vinegar, ginger, garlic, etc.), and a husband soaking away in the tub after a stressful day at work, filling the house with his latest favorite music (think Vampire Weekend).

It lasted about two days, and then it went away. She was fine for about another week after that, and then she got sick again. Worse than before. At least it feels worse.

I almost blogged yesterday, but I ended up feeling too busy trying to catch up on things from being sick, and trying to get ready for Halloween, so I didn't. But now I am. Last night was awesome. Well, 90% awesome.

Brett noticed it before I did; the first thing he said to me this morning after I greeted him was, "are your sinuses bothering you?" My first response was a puzzled "no," followed immediately by a confused "yes." Then my sinuses gave their own response by GURGLING. Which is never a good sign.

Making it, in my opinion, "the greatest" song she's written. Or performed, since she seems to sing a lot of stuff she didn't actually write. 2) If you eat about a pound of carrots, your poop will be orange. 3) If Brett http://www.catjackson.net/2007/10/once-i-wanted-to-be-greatest.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cat Jackson)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030457.post-6357046360189458822Sat, 27 Oct 2007 01:28:00 +00002007-10-26T20:10:02.788-07:00I've enjoyed writing things in numbered lists today, so I will continue that trend with this post. 1) Brett bought a ukulele today. He's wanted one for a long time, and occasionally when he would bring it up I would refer to it as a pukulele. He's on the couch tuning it right now, and is very excited to have it.
