ARG!

I think I may have had a hand in killing the oven on Thanksgiving.

Apparently tin foil is not a friend of the heating element in the oven. Especially when the element is working. My job on turkey day was to check on the bird and ensure that it was heating up to the appropriate temperature. I think that it's very possible that during one of the temperature checks I may have lifted the tin foil an eensy bit too high. Long story short: yes, we have no oven (that works). This is frustrating to me because one of the few domestic things I enjoy doing is baking. It's sorta hard to bake without an oven.

In other news, I hope this letter I'm planning on sending out sometime next week doesn't screw me over. I was taught that almost everything is negotiable. Hopefully this is one of them and by my asking to negotiate it won't leave a proverbial sour taste in anyones proverbial mouth.

Overheard:

"I adversely hate it."

Does that mean you actually quite like it?

Happiness is:

Holding the hand of the person you feel most comfortable with.

Knowing how to make the other person laugh after years apart.

Something I think I've missed for a few years.

RTFM!

I'm trying to get my music library from the ipod to the Mac (poor thing needs a name...). I've downloaded a recommened program and am now going through the instructions trying to decide which of the situations apply to me.

I'm gonna be screwed come tax time.

I am my parents.

I just made sure that the kid's mom knew about and approved of her myspace account. Mom didn't know, mom didn't approve of the existence of the account and so hopefully there will be no account. Thank Bob for typos and me being the interweb savvy adult. So, I feel like I have ruined the social opportunties of a tween at the expense of their safety. I'll take that trade-off, even if it's not my kid.

Look who decided to spend some time with me.

This picture was taken by/with the new laptop, btw.

Things I suggest against:

Going on a roof to fix something metallic during the wind and lightening part of a monsoon.

Trying to figure out a budget before you've had any coffee.

Driving 15 miles to a gym that you assume is open on a holiday weekend.
