The Stars and the Cookie Jar

1. I'm really enjoying my new job.

2. According to Delightfully Snarky Project Manager at Former Job, chickwriter is sickly, suffering, etc. Good wishes for her recovery and for her supply of entertainment.

3. I'm torn between getting my wife a ticket to a concert she's passionate about, or getting us both tickets to the Nutcracker.

4. I had nightmares all last night where my aunt kept trying to shoot Bast with a .44, and failing, which left spectacular holes in the plaster of her pre-divorce house and our apartment (the action shifted 1000 miles, apparently). In addition to the trauma of watching my beloved cat dodge bullets, I was concerned for the safety of my lovely wife. And our china cabinet.

5. WEEKEND. Where ARE YOU. Jeez. This week I get a paycheck, yay! I need to invest a portion of it in my (nonexistent) wardrobe. But you know what? That's okay, because it's a much bigger paycheck than before.
