I don’t want to jinx anything by writing about it but … I think I may have kicked my nail-biting addiction habit addiction.
It’s been 5 days so far and I’m surprised at how quickly my nails actually grow when given the chance.

Didn't think I'd ever be too old to carry around...
We had a good 20-minute car ride on the way to the Orlando Premium Outlets on Sunday. On the way out of the house, I grabbed a used Target bag with the lofty goal of cleaning out my purse in mind.
The front pouch came first as it’s usually the easiest thing to stuff with receipts and random scraps of paper that I will never, ever need. I found 2 mini bottles of lotion that I was able to move to...
Ramblings on a Friday
I have 3 books being delivered to me in the next 2 weeks. Two of them are arriving this weekend by way of my visiting cousins who each asked me what I wanted for my birthday and were both sent off to their local book stores in search of David Sedaris and Tom Robbins.
Even still, that left me with a bookless week unless I made my lazy way down to the library. So I did. I wandered around aimlessly...
My truck-boat-truck for some Twinings
Sometimes, I forget that I live in The South. Then I go grocery shopping with “english breakfast tea” on my list and I go home empty-handed because the tea aisle is saturated with the cold-brew crap.
As promised
On Monday, we went to see The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience at Pointe Orlando. The show started at 7pm, so we left the house almost as soon as I got home from work. We were meeting up with some people and were really hoping that they would get there before us and secure some good seats. Sadly, they arrived around the same time that we did, so we all went in together and found some seats in...
I'm going to be an aunt!
Well, kinda. My cousin is pregnant. And in big latin families where everyone is either an aunt, uncle or cousin, that makes me an aunt.
This is just the kick in the butt I needed to start knitting again.

This makes me super excited to watch last night’s DVR’d episode. I missed it because we went to see Dark Knight. Crazy story about how we got there 30 minutes early, but still managed to miss the first 10 minutes forthcoming.

The building provides you with paper toilet seat covers as well as two rolls of toilet paper. Why then, random bathroom user, is there urine on the seat?

Last.fm Scrobbling [on muxtape]
This is kind of a big deal. Now, if only SeeqPod would join the party.
muxtape:
Muxtape now supports Last.fm scrobbling. Go to the settings page and click the “link my Last.fm account” button. After you authorize Muxtape, songs will be recorded into your Last.fm listening history just like any other app (scrobble occurs halfway through the song or after 240 seconds, whichever comes first).

Watched The Neverending Story last night. Funny, I don’t remember Falcor being a pedophile; and yet, I feel like the writing’s been on the wall for a while.

Behind the scenes of Jeffy Says
Here is the conversation that preceded this little nugget:
co-worker:
Jeff, it’s haircut time.
Jeff:
are you tired of my mop?
co-worker:
Yes
me (noticing Jeff’s extra disheveled coif):
Did you brush your hair this morning?
Jeff (with righteous indignation):
NO!

List of problems solved by MacGyver →
Some of my favorites:
He uses a magnifying glass made of a hairpin and wine to read names of spies off a watch.
As a way to hold off killer ants for awhile, MacGyver makes a flamethrower out of a hose, pipe, and tank of gasoline. He also uses some “kitchen ingredients” as a fuel-thickener to prevent the contraption from simply exploding.
MacGyver rigs a pair of dice by rounding some...
Spirit to charge for seat assignments →
My mom was telling me about how she had to pay to select a seat when she flew up here.
Turns out, you only have to pay if you’re selecting the seat online ahead of time. Conversely, you could choose to not pay, leave it up to chance, and end up in the middle seat between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle “I see you’re reading a book, but I’m going to tell you my life story...
