So the grass seed we put out a few weeks ago? Still alive, still green, still sprouting. Despite my best efforts, I find myself getting weirdly excited. What if it works? What if, next spring, we'll finally have green grass? I'm planning on heavily overseeding next month, hoping to see a real difference next year!
I'm proud of Vice-President Biden. A little surprised, sometimes his mouth is a problem, but proud. But more than anything, I want the stress of this over--I want our President re-elected and I want to stop worrying about it!
Speaking of worrying, the car is due for inspection, and I'm scared to death. Added to the worries inherent when you own a nine year old car that was once submerged in a FLOOD is this gem, presented me by my husband--what if the mechanics decide they don't like our political bumper stickers? I know, it sounds paranoid, but I've been floored by the number of Romney/Ryan folks who pull up behind us, then swerve out and around so they can get in front of us to display their Romney stickers. Worse, they speed up so we can't merge, they slow down to prevent us from changing lanes--it COULD be coincidence, but it doesn't FEEL like coincidence. It feels like aggression. So now I'm worried about that, too, especially since our usual shop is closed for remodeling. We're trying a new place near Old Town Manassas, and hoping for the best. A devastating inspection could sink us, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Went shopping at Wegmans last night. Turned out to be a lot more expensive than I had hoped. How does that always happen? I try to be good, thought I had been. Dang.
Used my new "Clean and Clear Morning Burst" face cleanser last night, only to have my neck break out in a vicious rash. Emailed the company, but no response. I see a review shaping up. Speaking of reviews, Epinions is switching over to Paypal for payments. Some folks are very upset about this, but I'm thrilled--no more missing checks, no more iffiness on the timetable. I'll KNOW when my cash is coming, and I'll always have access. I'm happy.
I used to have a link to my Epinions reviews here, but I worry that somehow clashes with my Google deal, so I pulled the link. Wish I had a clearer idea of how that works, because I liked having my reviews associated with my blog.
Oh, hey, Glade has a wonderful spray out right now, it's a limited release called Autumn Harvest. It's smoky, sweet, spicy--really nice. Even the hubby likes it.
Just got back from the local Halal market. Hubby needed tea, but, of course, we wound up with the sweets, too. The usual ma'amoul, plus fancy baklava. Blood sugar, shlud sugar, huh? Hoping to hit the farmer's market after tomorrow morning's eye appointments--on a quest for muscadine grapes. They were so plentiful last fall, but we've only found them once at the store this fall.
And out I go. Not a lot of substance today, just a lot of worry. The neck's been nicer to me the last couple of days, but the fingers have been a mess thanks to an all-out war with a marinara bottle's lid.
Have a marvelous today!
**Updated to say that Johnson and Johnson, the makers of Clean and Clear, did get back with me. They emailed, I called, they had me talk to a nurse, dug around for symptoms/medication clashes/reasons, and then they refunded my money. It was a good customer service experience.
