The mad bummer right now is that our internet at home just flat-out quit working this weekend. Of course, Chris had to spend a ton of time on the phone with people in India who refused to believe that our connection  just quit working and the Chris hadn’t hatched a nefarious plan to siphon their time and energy into fixing his own grievous errors. A dude came out yesterday and said it’s not the outside connection so it must be the modem. Joy. Our normal neighbors-from-whom-we-steal-internet when ours goes down apparently learned about passwords (none of them being “password”. I tried) and the faint open connection only works with Chris’s computer from one couch. This does not bode well for my productivity on various projects/posts I hoped to get off the ground ASAP.

Don’t forget to donate to DonorsChoose projects in your area. Every little bit counts! My grandma Marilyn sent me a check in the mail to donate to Donors Choose because she didn’t know how to do it online. Then she went to Branson. True story.

Also, check out The Novice Foodie later this afternoon. I’m talking about Monarch and why it’s the best place to spend your money for a fancy dinner. I was fortunate enough to dine at the Chef’s Table there on Friday, which I will be (hopefully) blogging about tomorrow or Thursday. If you live in St Louis, GO THERE. You will not regret it.

More posts to come this week which may or may not involve the following things: Hoarders, food, my anniversary, terrible movie trailers, a goodbye to my job, and a garden update.  Ooh!  Thrilling!
