Cut me some slack, eh?

I knew there was something I meant to do yesterday besides eat leftovers. I meant to post. I let you down, NaBloPoMo, but I swear I'll make it up to you.

I also have a confession to make. I bought stuff on Buy Nothing Day: a flu shot for myself and a tow for Hombre's car, which has developed a copious fuel leak. I learned this while I was driving it. There's nothing like realizing you're strapped into a potential fireball to sharpen the senses and clear your to-do list.

My to-do list today is simple: find a place near UT to grab lunch and a slice of birthday cake with the fam. That keeps us from having a whole cake around to OD on, and there's no way my smartass kids can fit 38 candles on a single slice of cake.
