Wednesday
Midweek. A quiet, uneventful day. Almost finished Wizard’s First Rule at work; I finished it up at home. I also finally managed to find drivers for my mp3 player. I may upload Glory Road, the new book I’m reading listening to. (Update: It seems that the on-board memory will only hold an hour’s worth of the book. Oh well.) “Thank you” to those who have contributed to my “What songs should I use on these CDs” list. For those of you who haven’t made suggestions, go here and add a song or two for consideration.

Have I mentioned that I think that Craisins® are damned tasty? They are. Oddly, I can’t stand raisins. And, I’m not alone in not liking raisins. According to Jess, raisins are “the ruination of a perfectly good grape.” It seems that Peggy agrees with her: “Raisins are of the Devil.” But Craisins®… for some reason, I just can’t get enough of them. They are on the favored at-home desserts list along with tasty popped corns, iced creams and, of course, crisped rice treats.

Quote of the Day: Dee (after holding back a comment) – The blood that dribbles down my chin is the remains of my chewed-off tongue.

Peace.
