Something it might be worthwhile to do with my currently-unused vacation time:

It's gray and we've gotten several inches of rain today. They say some spots out a bit to the west got as many as seven inches of rain over the course of the day, and given the rate it was coming down I wouldn't be surprised by that. So what do I want to do? Go to Tyson's II and spend a lot of money at Sur La Table. Because I have soooo much room in my kitchen for more stuff. Right. And I of course have a desperate need for a garlic-shaped casserole.

"Shopping, Pats?"

That'll teach me to listen to people geek about cooking implements. I will be strong, I will resist the urge to shop. I will, I will, I will.

On a less expensive note, one which also solves the problem of "What do I want for dinner?": gray and rainy days are also good for making soup. I think I'll do that instead.
