When I get home, I need to check to see if I own "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" by Billy Joel. I love that song and keep hearing it on that Martini on the Rockies station (I'm currently listening to it online), but never remember to look by the time I get home. If not, need to get it from iTunes.

I guess I'm not the only one in this building that likes the Vanilla Tootsie Rolls. There was only one left in the bowl up front. Boooo! Oh, well, that's OK. I don't work here and I really don't need to have anymore anyway.What I didn't know is that there are free peanuts up there. Uh, oh. I told you what a sucker I am for salty snacks.

Marcus is fascinated with katana swords. I think I first noticed his interest after the Matrix Reloaded came out. There was definitely some impressive sword fighting in that movie. After Kill Bill came out, though, I knew he was hooked. It seemed all he could talk about for weeks was how awesome of a sword the katana was. He has even expressed an interest in getting a couple of swords so that he can take classes to learn how to use them. Because of monetary issues, I haven't been able to get him one for a gift as I had intended to do back then. I'd still really like to surprise him with one someday. Maybe I could get him a sword stand as well so that we could display it on our mantle. That would be cool.

Oh, man...the front desk here always has a stocked big bowl of candy. They've filled it with that Toosie Roll assorment. I really, really love Vanilla Tootsie Rolls. I wish the company would just sell those by themselves. It seems those assortment bags are only plentiful around Halloween. I still don't know where to buy them, though. Of course, I haven't been in a position to pass out Halloween candy in a long time and the last thing I need around my house is a lot of candy (not because I'll eat it--it'll probably get stale and yucky). I'm fortunate that I don't often crave sweets. Salty snacks is where I get into trouble. I found a site called CandyFavorites.com which claims they sort through the assortments and will sell you only vanilla Tootsie Rolls I'm not paying $30 plus shipping for 5 lbs. of candy. I don't care how bad I want them. Hm, think I need to take a little stroll down the hall.

Melly posted an Orange Cranberry Sauce Recipe that sounds yummy. I'm tempted to give that a try for this year's Thanksgiving meal. I'm being optimistic that I will be employed soon and will have much for which to be thankful.
