Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Squirrels in the attic! We had them at my parents' house in Illinois, too. We called the humane society for help in getting rid of them and they suggested putting a pan with rags soaking in vinegar up there to drive them away. When that didn't work we called the Willowbrook Wildlife Haven and they suggested that if we could find a recording of the Great Horned Owl and play that for them they might be scared away as the great horned owl is their number one predator. I checked out a tape of bird calls from the library and when I opened the box a little note fell out that had the Wildlife Haven's number as well as the words, "rags soaked in vinegar". The squirrels eventually left of their own accord and we put wire mesh over all the attic access points.
ETA: thanks ita!

Sorry. TCM is playing the trailer for The Fall of the House of Usher (Vincent Price version) and I had to share that tagline with Jilli.

Awwww! Maybe I'll watch my DVD of The Fall of the House of Usher tomorrow night.

Hee! And I thought the best turn of phrase I would hear today was, "one promise short of a scam" on This American Life.

I think Jilli might be the foremost delineator of the Cupcake Gothlian.

Man I've been eating healthy for two days and all I can think about is Enchiritos and Ben & Jerrys. Even when I try to focus on something good for me like an avocado my imagination conjures up slices deep fried in tempura batter.

God, yes.
I caved after 2 weeks. I am full of shame. Shame and cake.

thanks Laga. I've been avoiding sugar since christmas, with a few minor excursions (b-day parties, dates, etc). Tonight, I was over at Marks place checking his mail, and his parting words of "your welcome to anything in the fridge". What do I see? A drawer full of cookie dough sticks (a pleasure eaten raw in my family) and two BIG bins of ice cream. It took a great deal of control to walk away from that. But the whole drive home (and now more with your lovely post), craving it again. May have to indulge tomorrow.

Two weeks is pretty good. You eat cake one day and then go back to eating healthy the next. At least that's the way it's supposed to work. Let's see, if I spend all my cash on hand on a tank of gas on the way home then I can't stop at Taco Bell.
