freshly showered.

yay.

for some reason, after showering yesterday, my head smelled like FABRIC softener. i never use anything scented. we don't use scents. they make me ill.

stupid me went to sleep anyhow.

stupid me didn't shower upon awakening.

and not-so-stupid me finally managed to get my headachy, asthmatic, itchy, hive-y, bitchy self back into the shower just now. i feel a bit better now.

i think i'll start some cookies or brownies for tonight. i need to pick up tom in town at 6:30, so i can't bake a whole batch before i leave. we'll see.

or maybe i should take rice pudding...

decisions, decisions.

cookies and brownies are lighter. and don't require plates.

easy decision. ;)

now... maybe i can find a clean pair of jeans (the ones i WANT are in the laundry and covered in cat goo, so i can't go near 'em) so i can run into town in a bit. until then, it's nekkid kitchen girl.

yesterday, i pulled on to i-66 and found a comfortable spot in traffic. as i sped away from our hotel, i reached up to brush my hair behind my ear.

"OW!"

i looked at my hand. a tiny raw scrape sat there with a few drops of blood.

how odd. so i felt up in my hair. i got to my ear and found the culprit.

one of the balls from my curved barbell was not screwed into place.

dammit.

i was pretty sure it had been in place when i awoke (i always check before getting out of bed). but after that? no clue. hotel, luggage, car... there was no telling. and it's tiny. and dark. and not shiny.

i gave up all hope of ever finding it and decided i'd just have to see if Coyote could order a Ti ball for me the next time they place a jewelry order. i placed my CBB on a shelf in the bathroom at eye level, so I'd remember to call.

this afternoon, i was putting in a load of stinky-because-it-sat-in-a-hotel-room laundry into the washer when i spied something small and round on the floor. i figured it was a glass bead from one of my gauze skirts and almost didn't pick it up. I'm glad I did.

no, it was a small blue titanium ball.

to the universe, I THANK YOU!

happy late anniversary to Stu and xiane, who share halloween with explodingcat and me.

tom and i celebrated by meeting several of our near and dear friends at the brickskeller. i had two skip-and-go-nakeds (skips and go naked?) and one Ace pear cider. and fries. it's one of the few places i can safely eat the french fries (no soy no soy no soy). i love french fries. they make me happy. tom had his beloved monte cristo (sandwich). i enjoyed myself immensely and am glad i got to see those who could make it. :)

boy and i have been married for three years now. and we've been dating for just over eight.
wow.

and happy anniversary to mactavish and joedecker, who are celebrating today.
