I worked half day today at my temp. job. I really like it there, the ladies are nice and the works pretty easy. I can listen to audio-books: today I finished "Sense and Sensibility" and "Vanity Fair". Also, my co-worker bought me a latte. She's brought me a drink from Starbucks on several occasions. Always much more calorie rich than what I'd get for myself, being an Americano girl, but it's so nice of her I just drink them and secretly regret the calories. I'm also a bit lactose intolerant so today's drink had some other... special... ramifications... TMI?

I got off at noon, came home for lunch then went to Coopers on Stark to work on homework. It's a great place for it! I was there for 4 hours. I ordered the Gazpacho (yummy) and a diet coke. I snuck in my own coffee too. I got a good chunk of work done. I have a bit more to do this weekend but feel accomplished. The only draw back was that I drank TOO much coffee and was jittery when I got home.

Cindy was home with Elanor who was running around being adorable in a pink outfit. I guess she got into the pantry today and ate 4 fig newtons. Cindy said she when to the R.R. and came out to see Elanor shoving the cookies in her mouth. Geez. On the plus side, she said "nana" today when served banana and gave kisses to Cindy, Erik and I when prompted. She's pretty frugal with those kisses. She also hit Erik in the nuts with an empty paper towel tube with made me giggle. He wasn't so happy though.

Other than that there was a quick trip to Fred Meyer for groceries to "fill the larder" according to Erik. Also, I made Trader Joes Tuna and green beans for dinner then I baked cookies to finish off my molasses. I think I'll round off the evening with X-Files.

P.S. Fred Meyer is a place I could spend endless time wandering around window shopping, people watching and trying on clothes. I'm kind of addicted.

P.S.S. X-Files is a great show, except I watched the episode "Home" the other night and had to 'cleanse the palate' afterward with Giada cooking biscuits so I could sleep. I'm still worried there is a mutilated inbred baby machine with creepy eye-light on rollers under my bed.
