and perhaps turtle.

My Aunt Edna (she of the turtle mull) would be proud.

Hey Beej, What Shamu Taught Me About A Happy Marriage in the NYTimes strikes me as something you might find interesting.

Why is it cold?

Why is the rum gone?

Why is it cold?

I was going to blame you. But now that you're here I guess I'll have to blame Ginger instead. After all she did drink all the rum so she's clearly capable of nefarious deeds.

I'm currently using my cat as a toe-warmer. Unfortunately, she'll only do one foot at a time, and only when she's very sleepy, so I can't actually change feet. So I'm feeling a little lopsidedly cold.

Analysis: computers add points of interest to everyday chores such as visits to the optometrist.

but I fall down a lot

I am in such good company... Battered, but pretty.

An ex-BF and I had a "one injury at a time" rule.

There's a relationship doomed to failure.

I couldn't find necklace displays that I liked, so I bought a couple ornamental plant hangers and put those in.

I use picture hooks. I should consider the plant hooks because right now a lot of necklaces are living in a drawer. Not enough picture hooks...

Matilda got intently interested in Other Baby and they both seemed very excited at the prospect of future socializing and cocktails and whatnot.

Aw, baby boos!

I dropped by (called first) P's to drop some mail of hers that was mailed in care of me but I - shut up! - couldn't find her mail box. So I rang the bell. And Julia has her first tummy flu. So I chucked the envelope through the door with a "Call me, when she's not projectile anythinging!" and ran. Turns out her mailbox is across the street.

To sum up, babies cute! And I am glad Matilda gets to have some girlie bonding time.

Did I mention my burrito was carnitas? Ohhhhhhhhh. It is the most genius meat food ever.

Seriously. Whoever decided to do that to pigs? Second only to the bacon guy in sheer genius. TJ's occasionally have carnitas, btw, and it is brilliant. They always have bacon, theirs and Niman Ranch, which are also brilliant but not already cooked for you.

I was going to tromp down the street for a piggy burrito but my boots apparently didn't play well with my body when I was out running errands most of the day. With many stairs and the hauling of various shit around. Now I have a hot pack on my back and am wondering what nummy foods I can eat here instead.

And who talked of Three Olives vodka (might have been Natter, I am not sure)? I bought some of their pom today. Because I trekked also to the store what gives me vodka. So I got a thing of that.

What Shamu Taught Me About A Happy Marriage

I hate that kind of relationship reporting. I sometimes wonder if that's because I don't have enough relationship perspective, but not for long. Then I go back to hating.

I did! Juliana turned me on to Three Olives Cherry Vodka. Le yum.
