I understand the need for waterproof mascara; I really do. However, after washing my face three times with various cleaning lotions, is it really necessary for the mascara to STILL be on my face? I look like I’ve just joined a troop of emo kids with too much free time and eyeliner. Seriously, I’d like this mascara to come off now. Don’t make me get the belt sander.

It is very hard to get work done when Hobble is being so damn cute. He’s generally more affectionate towards me than he was in the ago, but sometimes he wants to be loved RIGHT NOW and I’m powerless to resist the head butts and giant inquiring paw on my shoulder.

The government sent me a bill for $3.59. Thanks?

Today is better than yesterday, as indicated by my multiple paragraphs versus two sentences. It’s gorgeous outside; the postie brought me a box of yarn and instructions on how to make these; we did groceries last night so there’s food in the house; I have to submit my first full invoice today reflecting my new rate; my hair is a lovely dark red-brown; I just placed a bid on the ebays for something called a Baby Scarer. For a Wednesday, I feel pretty good.

I need to figure out how to crochet, though. I want an army of woolen snails!
