This and that...in conveniently short paragraphs.

Just got back from the grocery store, where we somehow left my newly purchased box of Hydrience hair color behind. It was my fave shade and we got it on sale and then left it either at the store or in the cab. I didn't notice until we were home and put away all our groceries. Damn and Fie! They were also out of my favorite lemon pomegranate mints.

I'm trying to relax and JoJo keeps insisting that I play fetch with him. At least I'm not the one who has to do the actual fetching. ;-]

Watched Juno last night, at long last. The writing is very clever and smart. I enjoyed all the performances and thought the overall story was surprising and good. I can see why it caused such buzz at the Oscars last year.

This weather is making me stir crazy. I need to be social, either by having people over or by going out. People can't drive to me when it's like this, and I'm sure as hell not going out unless it's necessary--like shopping or work.

I'm giving up potato chips for a while, to see if I can. I tend to eat 12oz of potato chips a week, which is kind of a lot considering that one ounce of chips has 10 grams of fat. So I'm thinking that will be a good thing to stop buying at the store.
I'm also going to try to give up naps on my days off. Even though my meds do make me tired, I need to keep it down to 8-9 hours a day. When I nap I end up sleeping way too much. Besides, I have too much to do with all the marketing stuff and working on my serial killer.

I'm also trying to wean myself off the Abilify. It still works okay and everything, but we can't afford the $50 a month anymore with work cutting my hours and stuff. Even with pretty good insurance, the medical bills are still more than we can afford. So I cut down to a half dosage and will take it until I run out. Then that's it. I hope that works out for me and I don't go manic. If I do, I'll have to figure out something else. I wish they'd just come out with a generic of it. That, I could afford.

1. Do you dye your own hair or do you have H or a friend do it? I can't seem to reach the areas I want to reach the most and it ends up uneven.

2. Hmm. I should watch Juno, too. I would also like to watch Milk, but it's not going to show in our area. There was a protest-thingie when Brokeback Mountain came out and they showed it for one day because many customers threatened to ban the theater for showing it.

1. I always color my own hair. It's fairly short so I don't have any trouble reaching everything, as far as I know.

2. Wow, people still actively protest gay cinema? You'd think they'd be embarrassed to be so closed minded in this day and age.
Juno was excellent though. I'd like to see Milk as well. And Frost/Nixon.

You could call the store and the cab co and see if they found it and would be willing to hold it...

Good luck with the chips. Not having them in the house will help.

The cabbie didn't have it. I don't imagine calling Meijer would do any good, that place is so huge it could be anywhere. I don't even remember who our cashier was. I'll just get more next time we shop. I can go two weeks without touching up.
