So, I went to get my eyebrows waxed today and since my usual girl is in Baltimore, I had to go to someone else. The wax was a teensy bit hot and it burned my eyelids. Ouch. I'm just glad I did it this week and not next week!

Back up plan. I have a useless cookie stamp that's free to a good home!

Today was supposed to be my last day at work, but the stupid snow stopped all buses going to Bristol. I didn't get to say a proper goodbye to my friends. :-(

Used my new ear plugs at the pool today. They don't work. >:-(

This is what it looked like when I was leaving the house at 7:15 to get the bus. This is also what it looked like when I left the office at 4:30 this afternoon. The English try to tell you it's bearable because you get long summers where it stays bright until 10pm and it all equals out. This doesn't mesh in my eyes. I'd rather have days of average length all year round!

A purple Starburst, must be grape right!?? NOPE!!! It's black currant! Blech!!! I miss grape flavored things.

See this guy? A few months ago I went all 'American' on him. The bus ride home is about an hour on a good day. On this unfortunate day I forgot my iPod and only had a book. The bus was full, it was annoying, but it was 5:30pm on a work day. What do you expect? So this guy ended up standing next to me while I was sitting in one of those seats right behind the driver. For the ENTIRE journey he muttered under his breath. At first, I agreed with him. It was an annoying ride. The bus was packed and the driver just kept picking up more people. But then people started getting off and he was still cursing under his breath. The driver would stop at a red light and more cursing! Don't curse the driver for driving responsibly! This went on for at least an hour and I just couldn't take it anymore. I tried. I really did. I couldn't believe how much his negativity was making my blood boil. So I did it. I got up the courage to say, 'Your comments aren't making this journey go any faster.' At which point he told me to mind my own business. I told him that he was making this very difficult and I would appreciate it if he could keep his comments to himself. So, yes, I was a bitch. But at least the final 10 minutes of the trip was in peace!

This is the view from our front window. I don't think we would mind this trampoline so much if the kid actually used it. I've seen it on him twice and it's been there for oh, five months!

Batteries died in the camera just as I went to take my picture! It was going to be of the lovely sunset we had tonight too. I was very bummed!

This is what happens when there isn't a chicken in sight at the grocery store! I threw my dinner away because it was gross. I don't know how you vegetarians do it. I prefer 'meatfull, real-chicken pieces'.

I couldn't face going back downstairs and taking a picture of my failed attempt at ice cream. So instead you get a picture of my bedside table. This is what your bedside table looks like when you smash your entire life into one room. I'd say the two most noteworthy things are the red strap from a piece of luggage I haven't used in, oh, 3 months? In fact, the strap's never been used since it still has the original wrapping around it. The other thing is the remote control for a TV that isn't plugged in. I only use the TV to watch the (very) occasional DVD. Oh, and the remote doesn't work for the DVD player. This means it's useless.

Isn't the idea of the lampshade that it shades the light bulb??

My view as I waited for the bus after the gym. I was feeling pretty uninspired today. What you can't tell is how dark it was getting at only 8pm! :-(

The equivalent of the guy who never puts the toilet seat down. So annoying....
