hi msbelle!

I know we had this conversation, ita. Hence it's still funny to me.

This vintage piece is very Betsy to me. I like it almost enough to buy it. Esp. since starting at midnight tonight everything on the site will be 30% off.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Today I slept in, watched the dog show with cats sleeping on my lap, watched some TV that I recorded back in October and made a spinich lasagne. I need more days like this.

Funny Farm is kicking my ass. The blocks you guys are talking about are ones I don't even have open yet. It's probably less frustrating with a faster connection.

Just back from dinner at vwbug's folks -- which was outstanding and delicious and I had seconds (which if you know me is amazing) and then there was apple pie made by ms bug herself, which might be the best pie I ever tasted. So yay!

early xmas gifts are the best, msbelle.

It's been a very sleepy day today. It's all good. Food is cooking. Allyson is setting the table. The dogs are running around. Well, more like wandering slowly and then sleeping. Polgara is cursing the game. Sarameg is doing dishes.

It's all good.

Mostly lurking...

Everyone have fun shopping tomorrow!

Awwwww...you're too kind! It was so fun to have you. Glad you got home all safe and sound.

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

Kat, can you ask Polgara if she wants to work on the puzzle on AIM with me?

What is even happening?

Oh Lee, I'm so sorry you're sick, especially today and this weekend. I hope you get to the point where you have an appetite. I don't blame you for not undertaking an 8 hour drive.

But....FX shows the truncated-for-more-commercials-because-they're-greedy-bastards versions of the episodes!
Yes. Yes. If I *need* the episode, I watch it on DVD. But if I'm lazy and looking for something on TV, and TiVo's caught one I was in the mood for, it's a treat, like hearing a favorite song on the radio.

Oh dear, Cindy. That sounds very stressful. Hopefully you've used up all the bad juju in one shot, and everything will be smooth from here on it.

It was very smooth, thank you. And the pumpkin pie was decidedly good, if ugly. The chocolate cream was delicious. I don't know about the store bought emergency pies, but they're there, and pies. I've never had a hard time with pies, before. It was a bit of an assault on my something or other.

Deja Vu. My normal movie companion is a freak won't watch Denzel Washington movies. So today I'm taking advantage of the holiday.

Who doesn't love Denzel? Did you go to the movies? Did you find a good time?
