Cat Park

We three went out for a walk this evening in the freshly fallen snow. It's a wonderful feeling wandering the quiet neighborhood streets at night when everything is still blanketed in an even layer of soft whiteness. Mr. Giles loves the snow, too. He ate some and generally pranced around in it.

This boutique eyeglasses shop in Durham has ruined me for cheap glasses. Before my last couple of pairs of glasses from that shop, I used to get fairly inexpensive glasses at LensCrafters or other such mass outfitters. But today, as I looked into getting a new pair of glasses and updating my lens prescriptions, I couldn't bear to take myself over to the Vision World at the mall. Instead, I'm going to fork over an arm and a leg so that I can pick out something from Invision Optical. Sigh. Buying things with credit is going to be the death of me.

Update: 6:36 pm CDT Ummm. Wow. That cost twice as much as I thought it would. And I didn't think it was going to be cheap.... But I think the glasses will look A+++++.

I have received 25 emails so far today at my work address that all require some form of response or added work. Sigh.

A couple of sales!

Go forth and buy books!

We three fell asleep on the couch this evening during Heroes. A little later, I woke up when Giles started growling. Mr. Frog was across the room, getting ready for work. Sometimes Giles wakes up a bit grumpy and/or startled. :P I freaked out for a split second, thinking that someone had broken in, until I realized it was just Mr. Frog.

Misters Frog and Giles just came to visit me. I'm on campus all day today (8 am until 9 pm). Mr. Frog called up and told me to look out the window. We talked on the phone and waved to each other. I called out to Mr. Giles and he got all whiny and excited but couldn't figure out where I was. Mr. Frog picked him up and tried to point me out on the third floor but it didn't work. :D

Mr. Frog just showed me a rock show on WoW.

This evening, we discovered that my car will no longer start.

Mr. Frog thinks I should change my t-shirt since it's got a chocolate stain on it from the ice cream bar I ate. :P I have managed only to do one of five things on today's to do list. I need to get my ass in gear.

I just had a delicious jelly donut. It bled into the paper bag. Mmmmm......
