A few news items.

First, Cactus is closing and that just sucks.

Second, for anyone who ever saw me with braces, they are now off and my teeth are in shock. Like my nerves are hurting kind of shock. I'm also wearing retainers on my top and bottom teeth. They're clear, like Invisalign, but they make me talk like I'm rather, ahem, special.

Third, if you know my boyfriend and read the previous thing about my boyfriend's job, you'll now want to read this. And, yeah, it hasn't been a pretty couple of days.

Fourth, if you're in Houston, you're invited to my housewarming Saturday night. Need directions? Ask Amber or Adolph. Don't bug me, I'm still cleaning.

Fifth, we have a Roomba as of a couple of nights ago. It's like having a stupid child that picks up crap and bumps into walls.
