Wooo! A procrastination pal! How fabulous!

How are you Jars? Cooked anything fun from the cookbook yet?

Oops, sorry vw. I actually went to do work for a few hours. I'm back to procrastinating again now though. And yes! I cooked brownies and also nabbed a guacamole recipe from the book. I may do some kind of a chicken thing from it tonight. I'll have a look through and see what ingredients I have. My cupboards are a little bare at the moment, Im afraid. All I bought at the shops today was eggs, for tomorrow is Pancake Day, and I will very much be taking advantage.

I've made the Vaguely Morrocan Chicken a handful of times and it rocks.

Jeebus, meara. Please to pass on my best wishes to MNGirl. I can't believe those guys were so blatant - that's a pretty high-traffic area she lives in.

lisah, i'm so sorry for your friends.

I had to go to the post office. so I went to the coffee shop to. I was out for less than half an hour , drove maybe two miles( normally I would have walked these errands) I'm exhausted. Good thing I already called into work.

and DH is on his way to boulder.

Ok - I really really need some "Keep Your Mouth Shut~ma". THere are some things happening here with one of my co-workers and my bosses and while I am VERY upset about it, I don't need to mouth off and get MY ass fired over it.

Aims, keep that pie hole closed. It's hard to purchase pie for your pie hole without a job.

I dreamed that I was trying to stop a wedding in a Balkan village using some combination of sparrows, turtles, wolves, and badgers (which stood for air, water, fire, and earth), and I was fighting two ancient crones who could shoot sewing needles from their fingertips.

Total coolness. I am visualizing the movie.

I am completely bummed that Octavia Butler died while I was reading her latest (last) book. How can I live happily in a world that no longer includes Octavia Butler or Joey Ramone?

Lisah, so sorry about your SiL's baby. I hope she has a good support network. That's such a devastating tragedy.

meara, I'm glad MNGirl has you to talk to. I hope she gets over the creepy crawlies quickly.

Cash, I hope you're feeling better and I'm glad big O is over the crud.

Jessica and Beth, beautiful hair! CJ is adorable. Emeline is beautiful.

Aimee, be careful.

Went to the doctor this morning; she looked at my toe, said "mmhmm," rewrapped it and gave me drugs. Yay for drugs. Our new home (barring issues) inspection is in an hour and a bit. I am very excited. Everyone wants to go and see the house. It's gonna be a wee bit crazy, but fun. I've been planning my flower and vegetable gardens already, though I'll have to return to reality when it's time to plant.

Fingers crossed Deena!

And thanks for reminding me. I love Beth's new cut, although I miss the pretty shoulder length curls.

Cash, I hope the babies are being happy and not giving you a difficult time. Barfy illness so soon after giving birth canNOT be good--and the boy having it first made it no easier at all. I hope Christopher and Olivia escape it entirely, and that Owen and you recover quickly.

HRH Emeline is a gorgeous and gracious princessa, and her royal mum is a wise Empress who knows when to be close-mouthed.

Much ~ma that there is no issues, Deena. Yay for dreaming of a garden. I know you have been wanting that for a long time, and you deserve it.
