I saw a decorative plate on a car today. What it actually said was 'Faithful God,' but I misread it (in my rearview mirror, from further away) as 'Beautiful God.'
It probably says something about me that 'Beautiful God' seemed much more worship-worthy to me. Not because of stereotypical ideas of human physical beauty, but because I like the juxtaposition of 'feminine' and 'masculine' words. I like the idea of God as beautiful in the way of a bird taking flight, or a flower, or rain. Faithful makes me think, faithful to whom? Which just seems weird.
(I suppose it could have been a reference to the driver - I'm your faithful god, baby - but it didn't strike me that way at the time.)

Despite knowing that wheat seems to be a trigger for IBS symptoms for me, I am eating garlic bagel chips. Mmmmmmm... With hummus. I suppose I love this enough that I'm willing to pay for it with a stomach ache later. It's not really supposed to be my dinner.

Valentine's Day...means goodie bags andhelping forcing facilitating the process of which name goes on which of four various types of cards. With El's puppy and kitty cards they all pretty much seem the same, but apparently it is really important to know if you should give Shredder or Leonardo to your second grade friends. Not that Daniel's are close to done yet. After dinner, I suppose.
I did buy some DVDs for Dave and I to watch together as his present. No, not those kind. :-D Whether we'll actually get time to watch them before *next* Valentine's Day is an excellent question. I'm not feeling hugely romantic, just tired. That might have something to do with the fact that I didn't get more than three hours sleep last night.

Pseudoephedrine is not something I should take again. Ever. I always forget how horrible Allegra-D makes me feel, when I'm in the midst of remembering how bad sinus allergies make me feel. I should stick to Benadryl. It's cheap, and I'd rather be falling asleep all day than up all night.

I need to...do so many things, right now, but the most compelling at the moment is eat dinner.
