It has been a celebration sort of week here! My wedding anniversary (9 years!) and a friend’s birthday (hence the sushi). The downside is, I had several unpleasant appointments, which I got through, but not without a lot of paperclip chewing. I know paperclips are dirty and bad for my teeth, I even have chewelry to use instead! But inadvertently, if there’s a paperclip to be had, it eventually winds up in my mouth. I figure one bad habit can’t hurt…right?

• Happy Anniversary to my favorite person!!!
• Dude. All you can eat sushi.
• Cold rainy days need crock-pot dinners.
• Paperclips are not to be chewed.
• Why must stores use fluorescent lights?
• Self-checkouts encourage minimal human interaction.
• Sleepy me has a low bullshit tolerance.

P.S. (a couple of boneless skinless chicken breasts + a jar of salsa + 8 hours in a crock-pot on low = easy and delicious tex-mex chicken. Good in burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. Probably nachos too.)
