bacon and sprite

i made some bacon a minute ago.  the last batch i had cooked up PERFECTLY every time.  i couldn't remember what kind it was, tho.  so the other day i got oscar mayer center cut, thinking that sounded like a good choice.  it's not bad, but it took too long to cook & it didn't get as black as i'd like.  there is that certain flavor i'm looking for, when the bacon is black & practically disentigrates in your mouth...you know what i mean?  man, that is some good bacon when that happens!!  i was gonna make this whole big thing, tortillas spread w/ cream cheese, crumbled bacon and tomatoes... but then i didn't want to stop at the store for a tomato, and the bacon was so much work i didn't feel like making tortillas when it was done.  !!  i know, doesn't that sound pathetic?  *laugh*  


part of my reluctance is that i've had a headache for the last hour & a half, which i think was caused by mcdonald's sprite, because every once in awhile it has that effect.  of course, it could be the humidity, too, or the stress of this week, or the negative nellies - 1/2 my fb updates were "blah" "i'm bored" "this sucks"... my computer, which decided it wanted to keep freezing.  grrrr.  i finally went ahead & am working in Safe mode, which is great - as long as i don't need my speakers for anything, like say watching HULU!  *cry*  i'm already way behind in all my shows!  (i know, quit whining.  i know it's not the end of the world.  it's just an "on top of..." kinda thing, ya know?)  i need my howie, so hopefully it'll be better tomorrow!  : )  


look at that, a hint of optimism!  


sadly, tomorrow is sergio's visitation, then thursday is the funeral, so optimism is a tiny, tiny window in a dark, dark room right now.  


friday's dinner w/ shannan is a bigger window.  : )  


i need my postcards to get to the places they're going so i can send some more!  sending postcards always makes me happy.  i even sent a couple to mom & grammy & aunt janie!  hopefully they like them... 


and... that's all i got.  my mind is mush.  again!  this calls for more Buffy, season 5.  : ) tt. fn.
