Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

I survived cooking some food: sauted eggplant, zucchini & musroom with tomato/garlic sauce. The kitchen didn't get too hot.

Also made small batches of gazpacho and cucumber soup which will take me through most of the week.

fish, chicken, and shrimp are thawing. red beans are soaking.

That all sounds yummy, msbelle.

We have purchased every 10 gallon rubbermaid tub at Lowes and all but 3 are now full. Ugh. We have a lot of crap.

storage unit.

which is good. This is sort of like moving for lori, who has been in this house since many years before the millenium began. So while I moved and streamlined my shit, she hasn't. Stuff is getting thrown out, my books are getting weeded and then some and we are reorganizing everyting, including the back bedroom which we are trying to make into a summer room because it's way cooler than our bedroom.

we have moved the TV and DVD player in the bedroom and watched The "Restless" commentary, and then "Primeval" for fighty fighty fight fight scenes.

Now, Newsradio and a savory pie dinner, courtesy of Petsie Pie. We are having Spinach Ricotta Pie and a Potato Mushroom Tart. Mmm, pie.

getting a storage unit, in most sense, feels like we are giving up. Like we are never working towards simplifying. We are merely caving into the too much shit we already have.

At least economists tell me that I am not alone; self-storage is a rapidly growing sector of the economy.

Nora, that sounds awesome. I'm becoming a cheerleader for savory pies.

self-storage is a HUGE business.

I think your 10 gal. are bigger than my 50 qt, yes? I bought 2 50 qt tubs a couple weeks ago to store under my tall bed. So far I have extra sheets and towels in them. I think that is all that will fit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't have a savory pie.

I have a sad, deprived life.

Actually, no, I don't, but I would like a savory pie.
