I came back as a bag of groceries

There have been days this week that I couldn't get that song out of my head. (Dead, TMBG) To make it worse, I've had a horrible cold. I've been down with it since Sunday. Ugh. But I'm feeling human again. But at least I got it after the wedding. Speaking of :

There's Tim and I enjoying our evening. And the happy couple's refreshments. Mmmmm.... Open bar.

I have been making bentos for work every day. I have to admit that they haven't been all that inspiring. But they are nutritious and I have been loosing some weight due to portion control. However!!! I ordered a (few) bento from Ichiban Kan. And they have finally arrived! I promised Avie picture, so here it is!

And I've found an Oriental market here only half an hour from here. I was sent for some last minute things before the wedding and discovered it near my in-laws. I made some purchases, and I have to admit that I dug into the melon gummies while still in the car. It was such a neat experience shopping there. I can't wait to go back. It'll be a while before I can though. But here is what I purchased!

I'm a little glowing friend

I've gotten out of practice, again, it seems. I had a great time at Rose's on Monday. It was great to sit and talk grrlie talk. The Doctors appointments went well. Pharmacopia doesn't seem like that bad of a place to live yet. I just don't want to live here forever. The Dentist stunk, as only Dentists can. What made me feel awful (besides the two gaping holes in my teeth) was the fact that today at work Britt ended up pulling 11 teeth out of this old Maltese. So very glad that human dentistry has evolved beyond that. Dog dentistry has too, actually. However most owners won't pay for it. Money's tight. It's hard seeing people have to make hard choices just because they cannot afford to treat something. But, I am reminded, we cannot save them all.

With that in mind, here is a little squirrel friend we made while in Yosemite in May of '08. He was going to defend that stump, no matter what!

I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend But I'm a little glowing friend But really I'm not actually your friend But I am Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul I have a secret to tell From my electrical well It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells So the room must listen to me Filibuster vigilantly My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e My story's infinite Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend But I'm a little glowing friend But really I'm not actually your friend But I am There's a picture opposite me Of my primitive ancestry Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free Though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts Bluebird of friendliness Like guardian angels its always near Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul (and while you're at it Keep the nightlight on inside the Birdhouse in your soul) Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it) Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the) Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul) Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it) Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the) Make a little birdhouse in your soul birdhouse in your soul) Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul - Bird house in your soul, TMBG
