James and I stayed up until about 2:00 am this morning watching stuff blow up on Destroyed in Seconds on the Discovery Channel. They do something pretty cool there, they show some horrifying destructive stuff, and they keep the casualties down, so you don't feel so crappy about cheering on the apocalypse.
So we slept in today. I did my usual Sunday routine of getting the morning paper in my PJ's, and clipping coupons. There aren't usually coupons in papers directly after holidays, so it's been a couple of weeks. Many of my coupons expired on 12/31, so I replenished my stock. It exhausted me, sitting in bed, watching HGTV and clipping and filing. So I rested and finally got out at around 2 to actually do the shopping.
I subscribe to the Grocery Game, which provides me with a list of store sales and coupon combinations so that I can save the maximum amount of money. Naturally I had my coupons, but I forgot my list. the freebie at Publix was a box of frosted corn flakes. Every Sun and Mon they have a .01 coupon for one of their store brand items. Last week it was salad dressing (going straight to the food bank) this week it's cereal (going straight into my pantry.) No matter, I remembered everything on the list except the pasta, which I can get tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on when I go to do my Kroger shopping.
I feel like such a housefrau.
So tomorrow is D-day, the day when everyone returns to work in earnest, hopefully the dam will burst and offers for job interviews will flood me. I have 74 active applications in, Come On! Something will have to shake loose.
Next weekend I am going to Dallas to have dinner with my family to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. I have a weird feeling that she's going to be disappointed. She's invited her brother and sister-in-law to come, but my sister tells me that they're starting to whinge about coming down from Witchita (so now you know who lives there. My uncle is in meat.) I sure hope they make it. Personally, I'd rather not bother, but I've got my plane ticket, so I'm committed.
Mercury goes retrograde on the 11th, which is the day that I fly home, gnarly! How fun is that?
Have a great time everyone!

Actually, Mercury Retrograde beginnings are really good days to *return* from a trip - then you can go into slow-motion and work on internal,personal projects.
I wrote an article for Llewellyn on it last year, found out some useful stuff about making Rx useful.
