This cold weather? Not cool

I mean for crying out loud, we had the air on last night. It's supposed to be about 30 degrees plus rainy by 4pm today and it was in the 70's last night. I finally got out my new umbrella the Blood Center sent me as a gift for being a good citizen and donating a lot of blood. It has been riding around in the back of my car in the box they mailed it in and finally this a.m. I opened it (with my new knife!). Man, it's a big ol' umbrella! And very nice! Vented, rubber handle, carrying case w/strap--not too shabby. One good thing about the weather I'll say is that I have not been on the Kleenex like I typically am every 15 min. There's something going on outside that is agreeing w/my allergies.

Poor DH went home from work yesterday early b/c his back was hurting from working on his car the day before. So last night I eschewed all my after-work errands and picked up Boston Market for us, using a $2 off coupon since these days I'm the coupon queen. But I really, really needed some ice cream after we ate, and I have found The Best Ice Cream in the Whole World: White Chocolate Raspberry Ribbon or something like that. Oh lord, but it's good... and it's HEB brand!!! Normally I allow myself to only eat desserts on the weekend (disregard the carrot cake I had the other day, that was a much-needed exception!) and that is one way I keep to my fighting weight, but I absolutely had to have some last night. And instead of the usual 3-4 scoops, I had about 6. The upcoming holidays just might do me in as far as my clothes fitting well! For some reason last night I wasn't feeling completely well. I did not feel hot, but was sweating while about to leave work, and felt a little weak. Then in the car I knifed myself accidentally with my new knife. Fortunately we keep lots of bandaids in the car since baby likes to play with them. It was just my thumb knuckle but it would not stop bleeding no matter how much pressure I applied! It was my own stupid fault, and I had told myself that I probably shouldn't be driving while holding my open pocketknife, but did I listen?NO! It's just that I was trying to cut the Boston Market coupons so they'd be ready by the time I got there since I wasn't feeling too good. Strangely, I felt much better after the ice cream...

DH and I tried last night to watch Clerks II, and while I was enjoying it, I fell asleep maybe 1/2-way through. I can't believe I caught a Star Wars joke before DH did. The Jason Lee character tells Dante and Randal that all they do is argue about who shot first, Han or Guido? I cracked up but DH looked confused, and I had to explain that it was from the great bar scene in Star Wars!!! He said he never knew that was Guido's name and I said I did b/c it's a funny name.

I've got a lot of errands to run tonight after work: hopefully pick up the DVD from my brother of footage of us having fun w/baby (I have to deliver it to my lawyer tomorrow, along with some other stuff and $5,000 that I don't have), then go grocery shopping. In the freezing cold! Ugh.
