Art Crawl!!!

I am having such a Monday: I woke up feeling kind of lousy so I turned on the burner to heat up water for tea. Went about my business, time passes and the kettle doesn't whistle. . . but I can smell something burning.

I go back to the kitchen, discover I had turned on the back, not the front burner and have ruined my lovely enameled stock pot. (It's enamel over cast iron - I think.) So, that's ruined.

And as I'm riding the bus to work, I realize that I hadn't checked the burner to see if there was enamel on the burner. If I have to replace the burner on my stovetop. . . what kind of cost am I looking at?

Now tagless for your comfort.

One of our babysitters is 18 and she's not 5 feet tall and probably doesn't weigh 100 lbs. I know she can still wear childrens' sizes. She's going to be a very tiny woman.

I am full of gronk because the kids woke up before 6 a.m. today.

sumi, generally burners aren't that expensive, because they are sized universally. So unless you have a super-special stovetop, you're probably going to be able to replace for $25-50.

I got up this morning at 5 a.m. to exercise and am now eating my lunch sandwich because I'm so hungry. oops!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Legion, all the best ~ma to you.

I remember Koogie's last days, when I kept wondering if I was going to have to make The Decision. Watching the poor thing try to move around was heart-breaking.

Best Outcome for All to Raq and Legion and those who love them.

Much kitty~ma, Raq!

I have now lost 2 1/2 stone (35lb) since January. I am made of awesome

Yes, indeed you are! And crush-boy needs to know this. Tell him. Sober or not. He might be crushing right back and from all the guys that call into the morning radio show I listen to, they're all waiting for the woman to make the first move. He might be, too. Seriously.

I've known a number of women who could fit into a size 0 and in two cases, girl's size 14. Of course, both of them were barely 5 foot tall and less than 100 pounds dripping wet. And one is a long time bulemirexic. Not that she does it to get into a size 0, but it is a long term ongoing issue of hers, which I don't think she'll ever totally get past.
