We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Go pink!

So, when I have a cold, apparently I crave faux-milkshakes (soy and frozen banana.) And as I made one, I remark that I am using an oster blender probably older than me. It was my paternal grandmother's, in seventies avocado, with a hefty glass canister. And it is still working and solid and as ugly as it is, I can't imagine replacing it with newfangled, and not just for nostalgia reasons (though that plays a part.) I think that is kinda cool. A testament to well made.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, my god, you were serious.

Well, I can't have a real one, because of the allergies. Since I am going fake, why not really really fake?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess my only question is about ornaments.

hip deep in pie

I saw amazing tree in a store once--bright pink with black ornaments. Silver or green would look great too.

CUTE! My question is like Jesse's though. I could kit out an entire pink tree (and we have a mini one for Grace) with pink and white and silver ornaments. But the reason I didn't buy a bigger pink tree was because I DID want ornaments of a different color. Hence the white tree.

I would contemplate a silver tree if I could find one.

That is a good point, but I think I have some that would look okay, and I can buy some others at Target or whatever.

OH! Perkins! I do have black ornaments. Quite a few, actually. And they are actually on my dresser. If I can figure out how to ship without breaking, I could send some to you.

My blender, sorta, I may have more buttons: [link]

Mine is more bilious avocado.

I vote bats on a pink tree. But that's me. And I am treeless.

OOOH. I would gladly pay you back for postage, or bake you cookies or something.

I like this!
