Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I know! I just want to snorgle him something fierce.

There are three Great Danes that frequent the dog park where we take Sass. One of them is the smallest she can be and still be w/in AKA standards - the other two are huge -- and we call her the "pocket Dane."

I just sent that link to my coworker who has her own Great Dane--I'm now waiting for her to come over and coo about him.

WANT the great dane. SO CUTE. Except, slobbery, so perhaps not.

They're short-lived for dogs -- 9 is old age, IIRC.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What are people doing this weekend?

I have to come to work, at least briefly, and brave costco, but otherwise I am going to be at home making cookies and stuff.

I am going to be at home making cookies and stuff.

I hope to do some of this. I'll also be looking around for smallish (1-2 cup) bottles into which to decant my first attempt at cherry cordial manufacturing. It looks and smells like cherry liquor goodness, but it may just be red-tinged vodka sorrow. We'll see. If it's the former, it'll be holiday presents for some neighbors. Somewhere in there I might clean my apartment.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sunday is one of my nieces' birthday. I shipped a present to my sister's house. Hopefully someone will be home to sign for it. If not, I'll be running around frantically for a present on Saturday. That, and Christmas cards are my big plans for the weekend.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay, I'm glad you asked the this weekend question. I was just wondering what people were doing.

We're teaching today and tomorrow of course. Dave has a very music weekend. He'll be playing trumpet in the symphony on Saturday and piano for the church special music on Sunday.

Other than that, he's working on cleaning and sealing the grout in all our tile. It was dirty before we moved in because we pulled the paper up too soon and workmen tromped around. I think I'll just be doing some serious housecleaning.

And I have some work work to do as well, since I spent all of my admin day getting my hair done. They had to redo the color because ORANGE! but it looks reasonably okay now. I dunno yet how I feel about it. I think it looks like a haircut my sullen emo teenage boys would get.

But anyway, I spent all of yesterday getting that done, then sulking about how long it took, so I got jack else done. Which means I should get off my duff right now.

Remaining weekend plans: sit in front of the fire with dog and book.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
