verbminxyes indeedy i am one.
Sat around the house this evening watching Wizard of Oz, because there were too many things that needed to be done, and not enough initiative. Laundry, grocery, movie we want to see, blah blah blah.
I ended up going to the grocery store when the movie ended, got some food (including some ingredients for a few things I have been meaning to make for a long time), got the care items I need for my labret (oral peroxide rinse, a HUGE bottle of listerine, and a little bottle of Gly-Oxide). Tried and failed to get Gladiator from the video store. Came home and...
baked!
Well, it has been from mixes, but still. First I made a dip from this red pepper and onion relish we got at H&D yesterday - added creamcheese, it's tasty. Made a mental note to self to not buy "whipped" creamcheese for this recipe again, because while the cheese is supposed to be soft, the whipped version is so soft that it's kind of runny. No, that is not baking per se. But since then I have made a batch of chocolate chip cookies, and my loaf of Pumpkin Spice bread (from a mix I got at Williams-Sonoma a while back) just finished baking and is cooling on the stove. The whole house smells wonderful because of it.
I am also washing up laundry to take to the laundromat tomorrow.
My mother walked through the room right after she woke up saying, "Look, B-cat - my baby has a hole in her face!" Later in the evening, she looked at me and burst into tears - apparently my dark circles look particularly bad today, and she started sobbing, "I don't want to lose you too!" *sigh* I just hugged her and told her I'll be fine. What else was I supposed to do?
It has occurred to me that Wizard of Oz is a really fucked-up movie in a few ways. I mean, these munchkins are having A BIG PARTY because someone DIED! That's pretty... wrong. Then, in the poppy field scene, Glinda makes it snow. Um, hello? People are asleep in that field: is Glinda trying to kill them? A rain would have worked better, I think. Third, when Dorothy wakes up, there has been absolutely no resolution to the crisis with Miss Gulch wanting to have Toto destroyed. You don't hear "Oh, Miss Gulch died in the storm," or anything more about it. It's a completely vanished plot thread.
So, that's been the day. It's almost time to slice my pumpkin bread. Aren't you jealous?
