As if there weren't enough fabulousness in my life

A few things, not to do with Philip Glass. One, on the mundane but practical side, today is sunny and breezy, so I'm doing a bunch of hand-washing that can then dry outside. Two: yesterday I spent a few fun hours with [livejournal.com profile] snottygrrl that was primarily to do with her new chairs, but ended up being a fabulous shopping spree at the most incredible thrift store I've yet gone to in Portland, Better Bargains Thrift Store. Now I need more clothes like a hole in my head, but I did cull a lot before moving cross-country and there were just great finds! Including random pieces of artwork/handcrafts and me buying a lot of green clothes. [livejournal.com profile] snottygrrl said that green represents the heart chakra, so I'm intrigued by what that means at this point in my life. Three, I found out that my other stepsister, the older one (but still younger than I am by four years) is three months pregnant. I'll phone her soon.

Last, but definitely not least: I went by the store on my way home because one of the Opera former young artists (who sat behind me at the Glass event last night) mentioned nachos, and I decided I really wanted to make some. Oh, and have I mentioned that my housemate is gone for two and a half days??!! :D :D :D It's just me and the cats!!! So I bought an avocado and was going along the aisles when I saw… Tim Tams. I couldn't believe it. Apparently they've decided to try them on a U.S. market or something. You'd better believe I bought them and will have them with my lunch, whatever that ends up being.

*twirls you* I'm so glad you're having a good time. I've been following your 'Adventures with Philip Glass' with interest and awe.

YAY for Tim Tams. Apparently, they showed up in northern Georgia at a Publix. I need to let my grocer know I want them, too.

Oh, glad to know you're enjoying my Philip Glass squeeing extravaganza, lol. My geekery knows no bounds, apparently.

I literally stopped and stared when I saw them, the Tim Tams. I thought, This can't possibly be here at the end of the aisle in the Gateway Fred Meyer. But then I approached and on the package it said, "Australia's favorite cookie" or somesuch and I grabbed it. :)
