tidbits.

• my office is freezing. i keep typing misspelled words because i lost the feeling in my fingers around 11 am. brrrr. i’m seriously considering taking off my socks and putting them on my hands. shoo.
• i think hurricane remnants (hanna? ike? who knows.) have snuck into north texas. yesterday was dark and drizzly, yet refreshing and relaxing.
• do you have a particular candy that you LOVE but it just doesn’t love you back? mine’s hot tamales. i have an amazing ability to make huge bags of hot tamales disappear in very short amounts of time. i’m pretty sure it ranks right up there with super hero abilities… but my stomach keeps on revolting. it does not like hot tamales. not one bit.
• my domestic streak made quite an appearance last night. i made this for dinner and it was yummy… i improvised a little bit and was excited because it smelled so much like chuy’s creamy jap sauce. then i baked these cookies for my small group tonight. traci introduced me to them a few weeks ago and i think they’re fabulous–i just hope mine turned out as tasty as hers!
• twitter: i can’t decide whether or not to drink the kool-aid. it’s kinda crazy that i don’t twitter and i already have people signed up as followers. hmm.
• mint.com is rocking my world. who knew there was such an easy, user-friendly way to manage your finances online?!?
• this morning i grabbed something out of the bathroom cabinet and the door didn’t automatically close like it usually does. i didn’t realize this until the corner of the door made contact with my eye socket. ouch. it’s times like those that i wish someone were around to laugh at how stupid i look. ha!
• i keep hearing story after story about the seriousness of the situation in haiti… particularly in the area where the rescue center is located. tara made a great point today on her blog: if 700 readers gave only $30, the rescue center would have 21K to work with over the next few weeks and months as they meet the needs of the people there. it’s a great way to help. if you want to donate, you can go here.
• here’s a picture slideshow and narration by two american journalists in haiti. very interesting.
• there are so many things that i wish i could write/blog about but i don’t, because i know exactly who reads this thing. maybe i should start journaling those thoughts.
• i have a love/hate relationship with journaling. it’s so therapeutic and i love having them to remind me of each chapter of life. but i have the hardest time sitting down and doing it. if it’s not a certain kind of spiral notebook, with a certain kind of paper, or a certain kind of pen… i can’t do it. ridiculous, i know. i need to get over it.
