not your mom's socks.

kiddie birthday party at a farm (hay + pollen + more hay) was very fun. The allergy attack after? Evil. WTF sinuses? I've never had this bad a reaction around a barn before.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I should have been paying enough attention to know who Pete wentz is, shouldn't I? Still, I did know he was dating a Simpson, even if I don't know what he does for a living.

I've been thinking he was the guy who played Norm in Cheers. I'm not saying this has just become unsustainable, but really, marrying Jessica would've been more believable.

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

Fuck. It's light outside. I forgot to go to sleep. That book was really long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What book?

The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray. I wanted to make sure I was done in time to return it in time. So I read it and read it and then my head was still kinda hurty so I cleaned up the TiVo a bit and this is gonna sting come tomorrow.

eta: There's a bit on page 492 or so where the protagonist mentions books longer than 502 pages where I had to snicker.

ita, I hate to break it to you: it already is morning.

I did the stay up too late to read thing the previous night. But I felt it all day yesterday (aided and abetted by vicodin taken at 1 AM for my neck).

Sox, does your little one also have allergies?

It's morning already--it's just not Monday morning. That's when I expect the sting to kick in.

AH! undoubtedly. I want to make a pie today, but it's too hot. or maybe Apricot bars but with almond flour instead?

I say you give it a shot.

I started recording Green Hornet because why waste Bruce Lee, but have come to appreciate how damned creepy they can make half an hour of cheesy action.

Okay, I have to go to sleep, but I don't want to. There was this dream Friday night that went all sorts of places I don't need to go, especially with family around. And it feels just around the corner.

Yeah, good luck w/that.

It gorgeous out again here! I hope the threatened showers don't come when I'm out in the park later.
