I think the LAF2F might be second most people I have ever kissed in one night....there was a lot of kissing. Unexpectedly.

It was like college, in a way. Well, umm. My college, at least.

While he was helping you? Oh that's awful!

I know! It's like when you came out to hang out with me and my friends and your spare tire got stolen. Ugh.

Heh. Strangely and coincidentally enough, the SF2F resulted in an unprecedented three-day streak of kissing occurrences, the first of which was non-Buffista-related.

Um, better than not taking it and actually falling apart, I suppose?

But is it a good medication? Ugh, I'm also cranky that I haven't been able to do enough simply by changing my diet. I mean, I suppose I could cut out all red meat entirely, and all butter--oh wait, I couldn't do that last one.

My cute kitties, let me show you them [link]

I wonder if they'll get any actual Indians on that show. Or Orthodox Jews or something.

What gets me is the tagline "A whole new way of looking at and finding love!"

Um, new?

Yes, it's a pretty good drug. Very low side effects, and definitely lowers your cholesterol. There's some question, however, whether that is REALLLY going to make you less likely to die, but they do help lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. So it's probably still a good plan.

When I was in Pennsylvania, I would just stand at windows and stare. Green. Everywhere. With no sprinklers. Trees tightly packed and hanging over the roads, and no one planted them.

Connie is me (same corner of PA, too, I think). I did the same thing when I was at my nephew's wedding in St. Louis in May. I walked around fondling the leaves 'n' stuff and completely geeked out over the Missouri Botanical Gardens. They are awesome. I saw a cardinal, too! So exciting.

What was it about the SF2F? I went freakin' crazy and have avoided you all ever since.

Ironic that I missed it, but I was helping my sister drive her RV back to NorCal from PV Mexico. Turned out to be fun.

So very cool:

Save the stump!

I have this reputation as an organized person, but I actually veer between order and chaos. I'll get my bookshelves all in order, or I'll make a to-do list and stick by it, but then I'll fall off the wagon and the whole system goes to hell. Then, once the clutter and chaos and things left undone get out of hand and start stressing me out, I make lists and sort objects again...until the effort gets overwhelming and it all falls apart.

I really wish I could find the happy medium, because I'm not fond of that particular roller-coaster.

The one set of objects that STAYS organized is the Precioussss, I mean my research collections, all my beautiful books about Wellington and Napoleon and Jane Austen and riflemen and Waterloo and other such delightful things. They're lovingly alphabetized, and whenever I go to get a book from that shelf, I spend an extra 15 minutes or so admiring my beautiful, beautiful books. And the one thing I consistently find the time to do no matter what is write. I wish I could apply the same relentless focus to the rest of my life, but for me I think focus requires passion.
