Notes from a vacation

Got home from ratsitting just in time for it to pour down rain, with lighting and thunder and the works. So I unpacked my shopping victories (two cute kicky skirts, two bulky sweaters, and soon it will be fall!), assisted by the ferrets, in between dragging them around the downstairs on my picnic blanket, which still smells like the park from last week. Also going room to room, lighting candles, because why have electric light when you can have the other, especially when it's raining. Dinner is leftover movie popcorn (I bought a bag on the way out of the theatre - what?), which I will share with Otto (he loves popcorn, but has never had the Real Thing, with all the butter and salt - I will miss him when it gives him a heart attack). Then, when they settle (which I imagine must be much like, "when the kids go to bed", only I can forcibly put them to bed and Child Protective Services won't come for me), more computer game time - I am sort of appalled to find how much it is like the comic - to not-at-all-appropriate-for-children levels - but it's at the same time completely awesome, so I cannot argue. And maybe, later, ice cream cake.

I could definitely have written that as one long sentence. I'm in that sort of mood.

Other things: haircut, Dark Knight, did I tell you it's raining, new glare-proof film for the iPhone, online shopping, two more days off!
