A nectarine once bit my sister...

Well, we don't get a mayor this election so much as a run-off but it looks to be a run-off between the edgy candidate and the one who might stave us from bankruptcy (literally) which is a step further than we were yesterday.

To sum up:
Big giant snake - 0
Surfer outsider chick - 43
Former police chief - 27
All the rest - SOL (totaling 30)

However we'd like to keep our big giant cross by giving it to the federal gov't.

I really don't understand my city. And I am going to bed.

Hi, peeps! Just popping in to say I miss you all. Have been busy, busy and it's hard keeping up with you talky-meat folks.

{{Cass}} Sorry you lost the battle with the vacuum cleaner, but it sounds like you won the war, so good on ya.

{{Sunil}} You're a very fast learner. I didn't learn those techniques with my father until I was in my 30s. I wish I'd had the buffistas back then to coach me through!

Bookless libraries are just plain wrong. But I liked my computer databases in college. They supplemented our stacks, which were extremely extensive, but they couldn't carry everything! And now I better go check my overdue book list since you guys just had to bring that up. I can't wait to become a senior citizen, they don't have to pay fines here (25 cents a day and renewal doesn't save you if you're already late.)

Must go shower, now or I'll be late for work. Ta!

Timelies!

I'm about to run off and start laundy. I'm hoping they'll have lots of machines available right when they open (sometimes they use them for laundry by the pound in the morning, and that annoys me). I want to just be in and out.

I had weird dreams last night. Just in case you were wondering...

PC, I'm glad you are getting a hold on the situation with your family. It's tough stuff.

Yum. huddles with Sail munching on nectarines. We love fruit in my house. Plums too. The kids devour fruit.

I had weird dreams last night. Just in case you were wondering...

Fun weird, porny weird, just weird?

I have to make sense of my house this morning before I go to work. It's very bad. I had a housekeeper, but she disappeared. Everything was cool for a month. She was here M-F for 3 hours a day and it was going great. She was here last Monday and seemed fine, then she never returned. I left 3 messages on her cell through the week. No word at all. I have no clue what happened. I interview someone else today. It is shocking what happens to my house without help in a week. Since I've been setting up the office the house is more neglected than ever. Sigh. Off to do dishes and stuff.

The good news is that this morning I am expecting delivery of 4, that's right, FOUR, new bookcases. Yay!!!

Fun weird, porny weird, just weird?

Just weird. There was a wedding and family reunion and plane crash in a snow storm and a cruise, and we kind of kept going back and forth between events.

Hope your interview goes well, Laura. That's gotta be a shock to the system after getting used to having it!

Ah, sounds like my dreams. I find them entertaining.

Time to get busy.......

Hope you find lots of empty washers vw.

I did! The whole place was empty, so I was in luck. I go back to switch them to the dryer soon. It'll be all done before Emily even gets up. Yay!

I always do my laundry in the morning. I almost never have to wait to use a washer.

I'm rather liking it, actually. I'm already up...might as well do laundry. Plus, it's during the part of the day where I actually have some energy...just get it out of the way and have clean clothes. Good deal, I think.
