I think you should embrace your inner crab monster. Although that might be uncomfortable, depending on how big its pincers are. Hmm.

Hola chicas!

Not a crab monster. Don't know why. Must be a hysterical reaction to my list. Maybe unpacking will happen today, or not.

Hope the ghosties didn't get Kristin.

Bunny, still cute. I hope Bobby's interest keeps up because I don't need another chore. He earned the bunny gift because he was all responsible when he bunnysat for a neighbor on vacation. Trogdor lives in his room. We purchased a 3' long cage and a bunch of stuff from the pet store.

I want to go to NY for a chunk of the summer, but so far no luck in finding a high speed internet solution that doesn't involve driving 12 miles.

'morning all. I have a house full of rearranged furniture, a pleasant ache in my arms, a mountain of paper to go through, church to attend, and plants to water. Beyond that, though, I'm a bit at loose ends. I may go spend the day at the zoo.

Hee on the tag Anne. Where is it from? For the record:

Some people are like Slinkies. They're not very useful, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I envy your energy. I've managed to make coffee. Um, that's all.

eta: I am down to 477 messages in the F2F thread, so that's sayin somthin.

I'm still making my way out of bed (fueled by coffee, natch). I'm probably going to haul my carcass to the early service at church so I can get to the gardens (or the zoo) ahead of the crowds.

My tag is actually from a sign that's in a co-worker's cube. It amused me greatly so I snitched it. I'm not sure what its origin is beyond that, however.

I've seen it on Overheardintheoffice.com (or overheardinnewyork.com).

I have made both coffee and my bed, scalded waterbottles and filtered tap water, and filled the clean bottles and fitted them into the fridge. I have scrubbed the floating candle bowl the cat insists is his watering hole, and the floating glass candle holders, refilled the bowl and set it back on its stand. I've added water to the fountain, watered the deck plants and fertilized ones that need it. Unfortunately I may have overfertilized one planter, as my comeback pineapple sage, lemon, wooly and silver-edged thyme are brown and crispy. The chives, oregano, gold-edged and red creeping thymes and Spanish lavender seem okay, though, the rosemary triffid seems to be recovering from its brown and drop needle phase, and the new rosemarys, sage and basils, lemon verbena and, um, that other thing, I forget, all seem to be doing well.

I start the new!stricter!diet! tomorrow, so I plan on eating an assload of ice cream today. Wherein assload=small fruit bowl, ungarnished. As of tomorrow, no ice cream, no peanut butter pretzels, no bread, no goldfish, indeed, no grain of any kind except plain, ungarnished oatmeal. Also, the exercise routine that I expect to hasten my demise AND the new psoriasis regimen begins tomorrow. I may just not get up.

But for today, my task is to finish catching up here, on LJ, and on WX. And eat ice cream. Maybe more than one serving.

My daughter to the cat:

OMG, you bitch, you just sat on my wet polish!

Beverly, I just started a 'cleansing fast' myself (lots less food, no grains except rice, no dairy except bioactive yogurt, just clean foods) to help rebuild my system after the mono. (and to shake the weight I gained as a result of it) I'm sending support vibes your way.

Fella is still really sick but I'm doing a lot better. Not sure if the antiviral med is doing anything at all but the only symptom I'm having today is tiredness. The sore throat I've awakened with every day for nearly four months seems to be gone! Yay for that.

A neighbor came to collect Bartleby and me for a trip to the cemetery (the National Cemetery is a dog park) this morning. We had four dogs, which like a murder of crows I like to call a seeth of dogs. It was hilarious with the running and the panting.

Now both Bboy and I need a good long nap.

Hope everyone is having a pleasant day.

Oh, and Fay, given what I've seen in the F2F photos, I can completely envision you curled up in a sparkly nest. Bless!

Yes, quite obviously, a cozy, soft, glittery nest is the natural habitat of a Fay.

Thanks, Beej, and right back atcha.

DH is making "ham & eggy goodness" for brunch. And since it's my last fried food for a while, I shall go and partake with gusto.
