coats for flowers

 i went to cub foods in eagan tonight and decided to get a picture of a sign next to a poinsettia display. it said a good rule of thumb is if you are wearing a coat, then the flowers should be too. i didn't buy any flowers, as i was there to get christmas dinner. two more turkey dinners, as well as dessert. i wanted pie but none of the offerings appealed to me. so i got some decorated cupcakes, and a box of little debbie brownies. before the grocery store visit, i went to the liquor store. i bought three cans of beer for the holiday. i chose two out of the discount cart, a summit and a labatt, and the third was a hamm's. it gave me another idea of a time to have beer when the bars are closed and i am not going there for performing: the super bowl. at work it was a long day, as my free time in the morning was gobbled up by finding the rest of the duplicate checks from friday. i did, and at the end of the day all were sent by inter-office mail. then in the afternoon was over 2,000 checks from the foundation. and one business line that normally sends them around midday sent theirs more than 2 hours late. so i only had enough time to send out half of them, so the other half will have to be done the next day. you do what you can with the time given. it was nice to see what was in the mail this morning. one inter-office envelope was addressed to me, which is not typical. there was a christmas card in it as well as a gift card for subway sandwiches. it was from a business line that i have sent out plenty of checks by UPS overnight delivery. there was also a little box with small candies in it. in the evening, after doing a virtual open-mic, i went on a walk and found 3 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when howard was in space and was fielding calls from his mom, and his wife. raj was part of sheldon and amy's date as well. at the open-mic, the MC said it sounded weird that i was calling it 'the bank job'. never really had thought about it that much before it was pointed out. also at work, i finally saw the iron mountain rep, who handles the shred bin. based on what we discussed, i must have been at lunch when he tried to visit the check shop before. but this time he arrived before i went to lunch.
