I'm celebrating my new toaster oven with TJ's naan. So good. Now if only they carried the excellent sweet naan I had at the indian place in Las Cruces. Currents and raisins (maybe) and nuts and spices. It rocked. I think it was kashmiri, but who knows, from a scotland-originated indian. So good.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I ordered 4 dozen, across 3 flavors: red velvet, old school (like a hostess cupcake, but with whip cream filling and ganache), brown sugar cinnamon.
egad. cupcake porn. mmm.
Kat, I suspect the mailman hates me.
Which reminds me, my MiL does a lot of business by mail. Her mailman adores her. He actually comes up to her place to pick up and deliver like 25 packages a day.

That is odd. I wonder if it's all due to one dork at the PO misplacing something.

well, they were mailed at the same time. So frustrating.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What's really odd is that I did get mine, and you know how that usually goes.
I just got my hall closet partway cleaned out. Anyone want some totebags? I swear they must have been breeding.

It's still too hot, and now it smell like skunk too.

Timelies!
It's another grey and somewhat sultry day here in MA. I suppose it could be much, much worse.

Mostly lurking...
Yeah, we could have the horrible heat like the poor West Coasters.
I was skimming in here yesterday and someone was looking for an Emily update, so I thought I'd post one.
I talked to her several times yesterday, and she was doing well. I'm assuming she made it to her hotel early this morning. She was expecting to arrive about 1am. Bastet is traveling great. She found a spot in the van that she just loves and has settled there.
Apparently, she had some trouble getting into Canada...her van full of stuff and her cat...they didn't believe she was ever going to leave. She must have somehow convinced them, though.
I expect to hear from her in a little while. She's got a four-hour, or so, drive today, then she'll be with some friends and family for the rest of the day, which will, hopefully, be good and relaxing.

That's good news indeed. I really hope she slept well, because she's got a tough week ahead of her! I half expect her to get somewhere like Omaha and decide she doesn't want to do any more driving and start checking out the school-teaching possibilities.
Yesterday, Veehemently was sitting in the van's driver's seat to get at something while Emily stood outside, and I suggested that they just trade lives. I still don't understand why they didn't go for it....
Possibly, I shouldn't be allowed to plan anybody else's life but my own, and even that's in doubt.
