Shopping and Lying
I went shopping today. Well, the first thing this morning was cleaning the guinea pig cage. Those little rats sure do poop a lot. Then I waited until 2:00 and went shopping for food. We needed some food here, and also the guinea pigs had no veggies. So I got important things like discount greens for the piggies and the DVD of "Serenity" for me. 
I also bought a whole bunch of unhealthy things like toffee cakes and caramel and chocolate shortbread. (In case mom is reading, I bought chicken and broccoli and mushy peas and stuff too.)
I sent in a resume for a job as a scriptchecker for the SQA (which is the educational testing authority for all the exams that Scottish high school students do). I got an email saying to call a lady at the job agency and so I did. She said, "The job starts in April and runs to the end of July and it is full time. Is that okay?" My brain immediately said, "Your parents are visiting in April and if you say yes you won't get to see them!" Then another part of my brain countered with, "I need money and mom and dad will understand. The husband can show them around." And all this internal debate was kind of meaningless, since my mouth had already said, "That sounds great. Please send me an application."
Gotta go start dinner. I think we'll have szechuan turkey and broccoli followed by spotted dick with custard.
