I want lazy rainy days though. It's been so droughty that we have had not enough rain.

I would not want to climb into a deep freezer, particularly one that is 125 cubic feet. That would be scary. A deep freezer feels like one of the most adult purchases I've made in a while. Deep freezers are what my parents have to put food up in. which I guess I am doing now, just with breastmilk.

I think I'm just showing signs of having thought way too hard about how to stay cool for too long.

For me, deep freezers are because you have a farm or you won a raffle and have to store half a bison. No, really. It happened to my parents. There was this mad scramble to get a freezer. I'm sure the cost of the freezer was still less than what that amount of meat would've cost. Oddly, though I know it took forever to go through all that meat, I have no recollection of what it tasted like.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Friends of our family once bought an entire steer. The weird thing is: they had their pictures taken with it before it was slaughtered. They were kinda weird. Yeah.

Our deep freezer is not bison size. Or steer size. Or even deer size.

It's breastmilk sized. Which, is what we need to store. Boxes and boxes of breastmilk. I threatened to use the breastmilk to make ice cream.

You scare me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It finally rained here. It's been threatening for three days and finally delivered. About time, my car needed a wash.

I think I'm just going to pave over the grass.

I know someone who ripped out her lawn and xeroscaped the whole thing with rocks and sculpture. My sister planted enough trees around her house that she only has a small lawn left to mow. When I get a house, I may just buy goats.

Help me out, guys. What's the polite way of saying, "thanks for interviewing me, but I think I'm going to look at schools where discipline isn't such a major problem, so we don't need to schedule the second interview"? Just "I've decided to look elsewhere"? Or what? I feel a little weird about cutting off a possible job at this stage, but it's reasonable to want not to struggle so much with discipline at my next job, right? Right?

Kat, I've seen recipes...

Though I'll tell you straight up, it doesn't ever thicken if you try yogurt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha! We once bought a quarter of a cow. But then the roommate left the freezer partly open and it spoiled. After we'd used a bunch of it, but still. Not entirely their fault, the freezer was lousy.

Since we have the nifty subzeros, we'll probably put a full sized upright freezer in place of where a normal fridge/freezer would go.
