As if there weren't enough fabulousness in my life

[thrihyrne]

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 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. 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.

A Tim Tam is this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tam)- an Australian chocolate cookie. They're made there by Arnott's, but the ones I bought last night are by Pepperidge Farm. Don't quite know what's going on, but I'm not going to question it. They're yummy. I'm much more of a savory than sweet oriented person, but Tim Tams are Australian and, therefore, I bought them. :)

Yes, I need to call Ashley now! I'm so excited for her. Though this also reminds me that I need to undo 4 inches of knitting on the other baby hat. I've put that off, surprise, surprise. :(
