Hurricane Sandy Preparation.

We filled up our big blue stock pot with water.

We couldn't think of anything else to do.

Our fridge and pantry are full of food. Not just food. But the best kind of food:

Leftovers.

My Facebook Nicotine Patch.

You may have noticed, dear reader, that I have been posting short non-sequiters for the last few days. As opposed to my long non-sequiters. The reason is this:

I decided that being at home ALL THE TIME has resulted in me spending far, far too much time stalking people on or just staring at facebook. I don't think facebook is as evil or pointless as some people, but I do realise that more than a few minutes a day is a waste of time. However, I still have the urge to post stupid things that I think about, various witticisms as well as things that outrage me. I have been channeling that urge here.

Shoe Repair

Interestingly enough, Cobbler's Cottage in Ithaca does, in fact, do shoe repair... if you need something other than a zipper replaced or anything done to the sole or heel.

The Scooter Store has me on a list.

Today I received junk mail from the Scooter Store. It is offering me an opportunity to call for my FREE mobility consultation.

I wonder how on earth I ended up on their list. I mean, I know I've been somewhat incapacitated this last year, but I assumed it was temporary because I was pregnant. However, receiving junk mail that suggests that it is not temporary has me thinking: maybe I should look at this as an opportunity not to be wasted and follow through with the FREE mobility consultation. 

Smartwool.

I love Smartwool. I love it so, so much. It keeps me ever-so-toasty and it isn't bulky or itchy and it's stretchy and it's soft and oh so warm-but-not-too-warm!

I have discovered these. SMARTWOOL TIGHTS. I can only imagine how much less complaining about the cold I would do if I owned at least one pair of Smartwool tights.
