Let me guess, **Lobsang** - you’re bored? 🙂 1. My mother has lost her glasses. She always loses her glasses. She should tie them round her neck with string. No, I don’t want to get off the computer and help look. 2. I eat too much chocolate. Am I putting on weight? I am, aren’t I? God, I hate myself. 3. Unpacking food shopping. Specifically, untying plastic bags with apples in them. 4. Probably brushing my hair. I spend an inordinate amound of time brushing my hair. 5. Half a croissant. ---

1 minute: thinking about my witty and creative death for **Blonde**. And, yes… it _IS_ witty. 10 minutes: (thinking) about a story idea. 10 minutes: (doing) writing down my story idea so as not to forget it. 60 minutes: (doing) logging onto the SDMB boards and reading the first batch of threads before I felt any were worth my time (KIDDING!!! Just kidding, folks). I _was_ reading various threads and posting. For breakfast I devoured some left-over turkey meat, can of peaches in light syrup (I pour that syrup out first, ew!), and a glass of ice cold milk. I’m not one for typical breakfast fare… no eggs, cereal with milk (cereal dry is the BEST!) or waffles, thanks. I’m weird, I know. I love myself though and that’s all that matters… _sniff_ ---

Thinking 1 minute ago: there are reasons I don’t stray into Great Debates more often, and this particular argument is one good example of those reasons. Thinking 10 minutes ago: I should get offline and start typing up that book outline. Doing 10 minutes ago: opening my web browser to SDMB Doing 60 minutes ago: finishing my late dinner of quickie pasta with butter and parmesan and reading a silly book. Breakfast: uhhh. Oh! Pumpkin bread and coffee. (Took me a couple seconds to recall that.) ---
