I'm starting to get tired at an almost normal hour - it's a little early but better than being loads late! - and starting to contemplate what I should take to work for lunch.

Pre-made options:
* a tin of beef and veg barley soup and a pudding cup.
* Cup-of-Soup, a tuna salad sandwich and a pudding cup.

To cook tonight options:
* Wild Mushroom cous cous - not that that's hard cooking.
* Pasta with a meat and mushroom sauce - probably would take an hour's cooking time. Not sure I can stay awake that long!

*Other - tell me in comments!

Fill'er out if you have time and energy!

I didn't want to get too far into my writing today only to have to ditch it and go get my hair trimmed, so I decided to meme this morning. Lucky duckies, you are. So, here's a silly survey from falleneve and olgameisterfunk.

( Passing time until my hair appointment... )

You Scored as Pioneer. You were a pioneer in a past life. At one point or another you traveled to the west in search of new opportunities and you made it. You had a log cabin, a large family, and plenty of land to work with. You, like your peers, learned to do everything yourself. You died protecting your children from a large grizzly bear. The bear died with you, and your children lived to carry out full and enriching lives. Slave 80% Witch 80% Pioneer. 80% Pirate 75% Peasant. 65% Royalty 60% Fortune Teller 60% Outlaw. 50% New Soul. 50% Not human 45% Convict. 45% Executioner. 40%

Your Birthday is Lime

You are the envious type. You can't help it... you always want what you can't have. Your jealousy is rare in that it's actually quite healthy. Envy is what motivates you in life. You want to be the most successful, most liked, and most wealthy person you know. And even if you don't get there, you work every day at being a better person.

Honestly, I don't care what anyone else has, or want anything - except for time. I do try to be a better person, though. I'm not always successful with that one but the Karma Stick isn't too vengeful...

-Put your iTunes (or whatever) on shuffle.
- For each question, press the next button to get your answer, or wait forever if you're listening to the radio like I did....
- Write that song name down. No cheating. I wouldn't use a song that I can't make sense of, why should you?
- Go... Play.

1. IF SOMEONE SAYS 'ARE YOU OKAY' YOU SAY:
Stand Inside Your Love - Smashing Pumpkins

And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage

2. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Get Through This - Art of Dying

If I can get through this
I can get through anything

Say something nice about the person that tagged you.
falleneve rocks. She challenges me to be more creative. :D

I want a tablet someday. Of course, a stationary bike and some living room furniture are higher on the priority list but it's not an unreasonable goal. :D

I haven't started packing yet today - ha! and I wanted to be mostly done... - and I haven't made food for work lunches this week either...

Whoo! I'm livin' on the edge!

Your Cute Monster Says Your Inner Demon is Laziness

You are a deep, thoughtful, down to earth person. You don't put much stock in appearances. You are never superficial or flippant. You take time in life to study, learn, and get to know people well. You can get so caught up in your own world that you neglect everything around you. People think you're cute because you're intelligent. Your wit and wisdom are charming.
