So I joined, posted a few things and promptly ignored my journal

That is SO me. I have the attention span of a caffeine-addicted flea, hopping from one thing to another.

In my defense, I've been diligently working on postcard(s) for Bookcrossing (for those of you who don't know what bookcrossing is, click on it! You won't be sorry). Whenever I'm doing something artsy, I lose time.

So, let's see - other than bookcrossing, what have I been doing that's of any interest to anyone? A friend let me borrow her "Ray" DVD. I watched that and knitted about half a 'furry' scarf during the first part (using this type of yarn). I had to go to bed and just finished watching the last bit while dusting the living room (See, I'm not only clever, I'm diligent, too!). What can I say but watch this movie!; Jamie Foxx's Ray Charles is a 'must see'.

I made another batch of tapenade, last weekend, this time using roasted red peppers. It was 10x better than the plain olive batch I made before. I transcribed it from the piece of printer paper I jotted it down on to a recipe card - that's how good it was.

OMG, I can't believe I didn't mention it before. Tomorrow morning (it's after midnight so it's officially Friday), our side porch is beginning its 'make over'. Soon that useless space will be a powder room and our little old house will have two (count them - TWO!) potties. Fan me, I feel a little faint.

I should be in bed and I'm going to curse myself, tomorrow, when the alarm goes off at 6am so I'll 'say goodnight, Gracie'.

Goodnight, Gracie!

*smoochies*

I knew I'd be mad at myself for staying up too late.

Why don't I listen to my Good Sense voice? (Because she's such a goody two shoes, that's why!).

Savagefuzzball is being picked up directly from school to spend the night at a friend's house, today. How pathetic is it that I already miss her? I'm not going to be fit to be around when she moves out. I can see it, now: I'll adopt ten cats, start dressing them up, throw them birthday parties and have wedding ceremonies for them. :P

MrBug and I will have the house to ourselves, tonight, but I'm 'broken' so what's the fun in that? Maybe we can go out to dinner and a movie which is some consolation.

I should be exercising. I should be folding laundry. I should get to the grocery store so the guys coming to work on the powder room, tomorrow morning, will have cold drinks and snacks. I should, I should, I should. What I *want* to do is sit here and eat chocolates until my butt is numb.

Maybe now would be a good time to listen to my Goody-Two-Shoes Good Sense voice....

An aside: I have two wax tart burners, one in the living room and one in the kitchen. Recently, I bought Mai Tai wax tarts at A. C. Moore (the craft store). I put them in, this morning. My house smells like a tropical resort! MMMmmmmmm!

As per irascignavojo's request, I'm putting this in my journal for others to do:

1. What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of me?
2. Go to http://images.google.com/ and search for that word.
3. Reply to this post with one of the pictures on the first page of results (don't tell me the word).
4. Put this in your own blog so that I can do the same.
