the everyday adventures of sabrina

• I kinda wish I had another cupcake now. Should've gotten 2 and saved one for the evening! #
• Why do I only get the hiccups *after* leaving the bar where they have lime slices and bitters (the hiccup cure!)? Boooo! #
• And for those of you wondering if I heard about Peavy: I did, and am plugging my ears with fingers and saying NA NA NA NA I CAN'T HEAR YOU. #
• Poor Kiyoshi. He was sitting at window when it thundered; fled to my lap; then it thundered again and I felt him quiver in fear. Poor kitty. #
• I signed the check for my delightful early evening patio dinner not ten minutes before the first thunderclap. My timing is impeccable. #
• If it's 90* out and I'm on a patio, is it wrong to order a salad for an appetizer *and* one for the entree? Also: CAN HAS OBERON, yum! #
• Haircut appointment in 20 minutes, thinking I may go grab a beer someplace afterwards. Anyone for Hackney's? #
• I have achieved a very important goal for my summer vacation: http://is.gd/dj5Ce #
• Also: cupcake, cupcake, I has a cupcake!! #
• Caused a stir at LoopyYarns when I showed up there, cupcake in hand, to buy DPNs, and pointed out the magic cupcake truck down the block! #
• ZOMG @FlirtyCupcakes is like 2 blocks away. I don't care if I am all scruffy from cleaning the apt all morning, it is CUPCAKE O'CLOCK. #
• Hrm. The Interwebs say there are no lockers at the St Louis Amtrak station. This will interfere with my wandering to kill time plans. Boo! #
• Hm. St. Louis' weather this weekend is forecast to be like 8° warmer than Chicago's. Guess I'd better pack shorts. #
• I mean, I have no idea how to say "that was TOTES diving!" in German. I'm pretty much down to "schnell," "schlecht," and "gut." And "tchüß!" #
• Wonder if my rusty German and rusty soccer knowledge will suffice if I go to Goethe-Institut's game watching party today after lunch. #
• And yeah, I totally am cheating on Echo Flower *and* Juno Regina with Multnomah and Pi. Apparently I'm a WIP addict. (Non-knitters: ignore) #
• It's summer, swimming time – read this so you know what drowning people look like (not like on TV!). http://is.gd/diE7y #

• EZ 100th Anniversary Pi Shawl, cobweb weight, on DPNs. I kind of feel like I deserve an award for wrestling an octopus. #
• My "Clean Linen" scented air freshener is "infused with essential oils." Essential oil of what, exactly? Linum usitatissimum x dryer sheets? #
• Amtrak, I love you, but why is your website so *complete shit*? #

• This LSD pavement thing does not live up to its initial advertising. Whither my giant car-eating 4-lanes-wide hole?! http://is.gd/dgQsk #
• Interweb fail: why can I not find a *picture* of this alleged giant hole in LSD? Do I have to go walk over there and take one myself? #
• Of course it now occurs to me that my cherry-stained fingers are well disqualified from touching my light colored yarn WIPs. Backfire! #
• Also, now that I've gone through all that work to pit/slice/pack them, I feel it would be cheating to raid the freezer. So I'll eat a peach. #
• 90 minutes later, 4 quart bags of cherries pitted, sliced, and in the freezer. Oddly, I think I only nommed like 10 cherries the whole time. #
• US Asst. Sec'y of Milquetoast, I mean State, sez, "we don't think putting women to death for adultery is an appropriate punishment." #
• "The stones … will be large enough to cause pain but not so large as to kill her immediately." Well, that certainly sounds civilized. #
• Iranian woman, mother of 2 convicted of adultery, to be buried to her chest and stoned to death. http://is.gd/dgykv #Ashtiani #
• And I seriously just bought like 8# of cherries. I'm going to be pitting the whole rest of the day. Well… pitting and munching. #
• Ok. I just frightened myself with spectacularly bad hair when I looked in the mirror. Time for a cut. #
• Nope. Going to the grocery store – cherries are on sale for dirt cheap today only. Mmmmm, fresh cherries = teh yumzors. #
• Hm. I could go grocery shopping… or I could *not*. Choices, choices. #

• Drawback to singing & dancing around the kitchen to Lily Allen while cooking: slightly burnt grilled cheese sammidge. Oops. #
