Yay Sunday! (Ice Cream Optional)

[ase]

For reasons I call "testing the new DVD player", I am watching "Victoria's Secret", and wow, yes, Due South pulled out all the stops for this one. Snowglobe snow! Benton Frasier uses his powers for evil! Non-ironic Sarah McLachlan! The candles! She shot the wolf. And the snow! It's like a metaphor or something that I might actually understand.

Today I:

Went a bit nuts at Whole Foods, in light of a Luna Bar sale,
Bought a cheap DVD player (which I have been putting off for two months),
Lost my mind at a quilter's show in nwl's company and blew - well, I solved at least one wall of my decorating problem (hey, rwl, instead of buying hanging rods, what about unbending some wire hangars and trimming them to size with wire cutters?),
Spent quality time with nwl and rwl,
Started laundry, repeated my "swine flu will probably not kill you this week, restock on sick people food/liquids" spiel for dad, got lunch-shaped groceries, and now I'm going to fold the last of my laundry and crash. Preferably without further courting heat stroke.

In short, I blew through nearly $200 and committed the cardinal sin of non-network ATM withdrawal without really noticing. And went on to speculate about a CRT-to-LCD upgrade, laptop replacement, and maybe, if I am very good, a car. (If I am subject to another Summer of AC Optional Buses, it could get ugly. Being all sweaty and red in the face before I even get to work is not on.) I don't care if I made out like a bandit on earrings, bags, and bitty one of a kind decor, it's time for MS Money or some other accounting attention to reign in my freewheeling ways.

But that is a problem for tomorrow. Tonight, I am taking my sun-dazed and OW I JUST HIT MY ELBOW OW OW OW possibly overtired self to crash.
