Must...pick up pen...

Man, I'm feeling really out-of-sorts today. Maybe I drank too much tea. My head feels disconnected. I want to write, but I'm so freakin' lazy that I can't make myself pick up the pen. I got some of my rerooting commissions done, but I can't work as long as I'd like because now that our overhead light is broken, I can't see what I'm doing. And on top of that all, I'm using black hair, and rooting a head that had been painted black. So I can only root during the daylight hours. Sigh...

My birthday is coming up(in exactly one day short of two months) and it's also Lauren's birthday, obviously. Unfortunately, she walked right in the room when I was secretly ordering her birthday present, secretly. Oops! ::laughs:: Well, I'm sure she saw it coming, anyway!

I have to make maple-glazed pork loin roast tomorrow. Must...find...kitchen twine... We've been practically living at Trader Joe's, now that they have one in Hartford(the one in Orange is a bit of a drive!) I made their asparagus risotto this afternoon. I'm used to making my own risotto, with Arborio rice and lots and lots of stirring, but their risotto is actually pretty decent. Lauren and I had it for lunch. I could have sworn the whole frozen risotto thing is a restaurant shortcut.
