Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Seriously, I have no idea what to do with myself!

Preen and strut! You've earned it.

Congratulations, Allyson!

White tile is made of regret. The previous floor in my kitchen was white, and every single drip showed.

Even after cleaning?

No, but I'm not one to clean the floor every couple of hours, which is what it would have taken. Linoleum, like msbelle's link, is made of renewable materials. You have to shop for the harder versions of bamboo, but it does come in darker stains. My crazy cat lady friend, who also has a giant giant schnauzer, put in bamboo about a year ago and it seems to be holding up. It's not for everyone, but I put laminate in my kitchen more than 10 years ago and it still only has a couple of dings.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Congrats, Allyson!

lisah, you need to find someone with excellent photoshop skills to take a picture of your kitchen and then photoshop different options in! Sadly, that would not be me. I curse at the stupid elementary school draw utility on the pc.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just did a sketch of what I want in my hall closet on Excel - HA! Now to take it to the Container Store since their people won't draw it out like I want.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yay, Allyson!!!

Bronze is ironic. And fitting.

No shit--I had a really hard time parsing your first sentence.

Me, too!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Congrats, Allyson!

Seriously! Visualizing is Hard!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Apparently Botox doesn't fix migraines. Well, it didn't work on me, but I do know people it seemed to be magical for. Ah, well. As long as they can still keep getting it. Because anyone who's taking it? Really really needs it.

Bonus of working from home means that I can learn about the Freemasons in my lunch hour. So, if America has made the world what it is today (with the revolution of the democratic system), we have Freemasons to thank for the US? That's no small claim.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I ran home at lunch to walk the dog and took a picture of my kitchen floor. Oh the wonder of technology. It's up at my FL, for those who want to see the magnificence. [link]
