pee-pee inhibitor

I'm bordering on feeling quite pissy right now - not only literally (altho that's resolved) but mentally. Not sure why. Placement of my moon in Pluto today or something.

Went to relieve myself, phone rang... ok. Nothing important. Try again. Phone rang. BAH! It was just hubby checkin' in. Ok. Third time's a charm. Now I'm just biding my time until I get my hair cut. I'm presenting myself to my hairdresser (who probably knows it anyway) with a full head of humid curls and fluff. I haven't seen her in awhile 'cos she had surgery and was gone, so she hasn't viewed the latest development of my new hair growth. So it probably doesn't need much cutting, just shaping, or I will have a tight little 'fro goin' on if it's any shorter.

I need to stop at Starbucks and get her a little prezzie - a belated "get well" gift. I am madly in love with their current "Black Apron" coffee. Ethiopia Harrar is just out of this world. Expensive being relative. A treat. What's 12 bucks for a treat (half a pound)? That's sort of how I look at everything actually. When people comment on how expensive something is, I always break it down... compare it to the cost of something else that we use daily.

Gasoline. Food. Necessary things that cost money. And I look at the overall picture of what we do for entertainment and the money we spend... which is pretty damn minimal in this household. Which is fine. We don't spend $$ on going out very often. We don't rent movies. I don't buy clothes, or shoes or jewelry. Yes, I spend money on prints, and software, and photo/illustration CDs. Different strokes, yes?

So what's a 12 dollar bag of coffee that lasts for a week?
See? That's what I'm talkin' about.

Speaking of prints - my Mark Ryden print as well as those Emigre posters are due to be delivered on Friday - yay! Mark my words - I will definitely get that one framed in a timely manner - honest!

So there you have it. Crabby still? nah. I'll be ok. Get dressed, put the top down on my car and get out for awhile. Talk to you later.
