I had a horror movie moment today.

In a really non-scary roundabout kind of way.

So my dad was up on our roof this morning when I woke up. I managed to figure that out pretty quickly, and thank god, because lying in bed and hearing thumping from above isn't the most comforting way to wake up. Especially since it's a monday, and that meant my dad should have been at work (and come to think about it, I never ended up asking why he was home).

( This is why coffee was invented. )

Pecan pieces

I was at the supermarket today (buying things, not just hanging out) and part of what I needed to get, were pecan pieces.

Now, part of me is already going 'can't you just say "pecans" and then have an instruction to crush them?', because buying pecan pieces already pre-packaged is kind of really lazy. Something I'd totally still buy, just so I don't have to crush them myself, but it's lazy.

( In which I get sidetracked by almonds, forget pasta, and manage to locate pecans. )
