I guess you were expecting me to post something today?
I guess you were disappointed?

I stayed in bed until 930a, when my person texted and suggested I go play with his cats for about four hours. I’m happy to help a vacationing friend with lonely cats.

In other news, I got season one of True Blood on bluray on Friday for 50% off. HBO shows are ridiculously expensive, so the 50% off coupon was irresistible. As such, I’m spending a lot of time watching blood sucking and s3x. I lurve it. I finished the first book on Sunday and just picked up the second this evening. As there are a number of books in this series, I expect to have vamps on the brain for a little while.

The books are better than the series.

Said sherlock, “why didn’t you buy the box set (of books) the other night?”
Um, because it was $55 and I was already spending $40 on the bluray, plus the other $30 we spent on books that night… we couldn’t afford for me to drop another $55 on the entire book set.

He agreed. He’s humoring my latest vampire obsession. I’m sure he’s glad it’s more, um, b00balicious than the Twilight series. Which, of course, means it is not a series of books/tv show we can let RTY experience.

In other news, it seems I am, once again, allergic to my toothpaste. We had to switch flavors since Crest apparently stopped making the flavor we’ve been using for the past seven or so years. This flavor: it’s killing my gums. My gums are receding to the extent that sucking air is brutal on my increasingly visible roots. This pay period will find me buying myself a new flavor of toothpaste.

Honestly, who’s allergic to toothpaste? In 1999, when I first started not dating sherlock, he was a Colgate user. My mouth broke out in a nasty rash/open sores, especially around my lips. It was really attractive. It took weeks of analyzing my diet before someone suggested I might be allergic to toothpaste and asked if I had switched recently. ::lightbulb:: Then, in 2003, I think it was, we tried a new flavor Crest came out with. Cue receding gums and large open wounds on the inside of my mouth. You can imagine my dismay, then, when we hit several stores and could not find the flavor we use. With much fear and trepidation, I bought a new flavor two weeks ago. After a few days, I decided I was allergic, but hoped my mouth would adapt. It has not; time to try another new flavor.

Eating and drinking is becoming an issue.

Stupid allergies. Honestly. I have issues with soap, laundry detergent (also soap), perfumes, and farookin toothpaste. Could I be any more high maintenance?

This boring post brought to you by orange-colored Crest whitening. If you see cinnamon-flavor Crest, please tell me where to find it.
