Others have excuses...

Last week: Went on Asian market shopping spree. Lotte is a combo grocery store & Asian marketplace - all the Hello Kitty merchandise one woman can handle, plus electronics, food, and much, much more. Han Ah Reum is less department store, more supermarket, but with sushi bar and more Western products. And a nifty selection of bakery products. Beware the spicy beef udong, masquerading (to those ignorant of Korean) as regular beef udong, but then being very, very spicy. Also, Bible Bars! Both of these are in the Columbia area; email if you care for directions. To be honest, I am not even entirely sure of the websites cited above are to the places I mean them to be. But they are very shiny!

Got pseudo snowed in. It was lovely and quiet and I hurt myself digging my car out, but felt very butch. Mmmm, grilled cheese...

This past week: Went to NJ to help kyriotate pack and move. Dusted, wrapped, taped, and threw away many things. Had many asthma attacks. Obtained bruises in odd places. Acquired new monitor, wireless router, and crock pot. Please send good crock pot recipes my way.

Yesterday: Watched movers move stuff out. Recovered. Drove. Strained neck taking ginormous new monitor out of car. Installed monitor, which failed to fix flicker issues. Installed new drivers for monitor. Installed new drivers for video card. Did not fix flicker problem. Was fortunate to retain any semblance of useful moniting. Slept.

Today: Watched movers move stuff in. Was extraneous. Came home and installed router, which works. Wrapped many xmas gifts. Ordered more xmas gifts online. Have finished xmas shopping except for critical figure: the mother. She's impossible to shop for. Grrr.

Now: Wasting time I should be using to hem pants. Will go hem pants now. No, really. Any second now. I'm all over this.

...I have my reasons why.
