Lines Drawn in Starlight

Because 5 things make a post, om nom nom.

1. The weakest link has been removed from the chain. More work for me, but overall very much for the better. I don't feel very bad that this got the first position in my thankful list tonight.

2. Chocolate glazed, chocolate cake Top Pot donuts are really good when left in the refrigerator. Quiche is even tastier when someone has made it for you... magic dinner! Quesadillas. Being someone who enjoys her fuel consumption. The luxury of having a "favorite food."

3. coffeedaiv. Who didn't have to take a sick day.

4. Aya is returning to his obnoxious self, after a week of kitty cold that included losing his meow. No, really. He has a lousy immune system. Shiva cat only had two days of mild sneezing, but Aya has been knocked down with a very human-like crud (cough, sneezing, no meow) for almost a week. I should not laugh. It's probably my fault that they, indoor cats, got colds at all.

5. Being energetic after a bad night's sleep. Being energetic after TWO bad nights of sleep (for different reasons). Go acupuncture!

EDIT: Oh, it's Thursday. Today I am thankful... .
1. ...for all the times I've done the right thing, and the couple of things I've done right. ^_^;
2. ...for Crate & Barrel Outlet.
3. ...for just the sale I needed at Cost Plus World Market. The savings there balanced out the cost of 2-day shipping on the barware.
4. ...for socially busy people with lots of friends, who count me in that number.
5. ...for all the good stuff that's come out of being online.


Well I had to buy glassware, didn't I? What were people going to drink out of otherwise? You can't enjoy a cosmo out of a white ceramic coffee mug. And napkins. I had to buy cloth napkins. If I wasn't going to have any one-use dishware at my little shindig*, I certainly wasn't going to have paper napkins.

I'm sure that I would have spent more going to Norwescon. I know I would have wanted to spend more at Comiccon. And back when I would have been buying a pass, I didn't know the hard numbers on Hawaii yet. And stuff.



*If you think you should have gotten an invitation, but didn't, email me. If you are a close (and local) friend and didn't see your invitation, let me know!

You may have thought you were done reading Thankful posts. Perhaps you are. {wink} ( That'll do )

I am thankful for...

...the barista at Ancient Grounds, who tests that the whipped cream hasn't gone bad by licking it off the back of his hand. Kinda sexy.

...that my friends listen with interest, sometimes with sympathy.

...for the little man under the dome of the International Fountain, who controls the water jets. Pay no attention to the little man!

...for making bonus again this month.

...that Munch's "The Scream" and "Madonna" have been recovered.


And now, a meme. ( 60 Questions: please excuse the agist intro )

-It's just a job.
-The happiness she gets from eating her tuna salad sandwich across from me is greater than the annoyance the smell brings me. Proof that I'm a kind person, right? {grimace}
-I have a stunning view. That's why the co-worker that I can't stand is constantly coming up to stand behind my chair. See, I'm an understanding person!
-Hey, there's work! Double because I'm the only one here!
-All emotional states are temporary.
-The later sunsets mean that I'm getting home while it's still light out, and they play tricks on my sense of the day's passage. And since I couldn't leave for lunch, I get to go home at five! EDIT: Some confusion about who is setting the alarm & locking up means that I may not get to leave at five.
