To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Awesome, megan.

It seems like spendy soap would be a good gift. You know, the kind of thing they wouldn't buy for themselves. But not if the reason they wouldn't buy it is they won't use it.

In my news about me, it is snowing! Really heavily snowing, with accumulation on the ground and the whole bit. Dave planted a new grapevine and within a half an hour it had dropped 15 degrees and was coming down like mad.

I'd seen the clouds, so I'd been scrambling around getting the rain barrels set back up after the wind (this time with concrete blocks in them) and it was freezing. Crazy since we'd just been checking out our little private lake and it was probably low fifties. But there's no doubt about the snow now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am annoyed with myself that I opened a gift of bath fizzies last Christmas, because I will never use it, and now I can't re-gift it! I love fancy soap gifts, though.

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

Why don't you just use the fizzies, Jesse?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ford Escape Hybrid...total ideal car for me. Except you know, for the price. In general hybrids wouldn't be that great for us because 95% of our driving is highway at 75

On the trip from Denver to Yellowstone and back last summer, there were four of us plus a full load of luggage in my uncle's Escape hybrid 2wd. Total distance was about 1300 miles, most of it at freeway speeds, and the average MPG for the trip came out to 31.8

If you really don't want to use them, for some reason I can't imagine, you can always put them in another container...like a nice basket...with an additional something nice...like bathtime reading, a calming cd or that loofah that someone else gave you and which you will likewise never use.

I don't like baths, is why. At some point, I will investigate the re-gifting potential -- but now I'll have to remember not to re-gift any of you people! Or I could just give one of you the semi-unwrapped business. Anyone want it?

Who doesn't like baths? What kind of non-bathing freak are you anyway?

Hmm. Good to know. At nearly twice what we're getting, that's significant.

Liese and Suzi are me.

Seriously, I"d die without a bathtub. I don't bathe for cleanliness...showers for that...but for relaxation and healing? Oh yeah.

PURPLE BATHTUB.

Loki's avidly watching GA. Seriously, he seems to like close captioning.

I've been poking around IKEA for kitchen solutions because that kitchen? She is small. Counter space equiv to what I have now and it isn't enough. I'm gonna want to put rolling shelves in the cabinets and I'm thinking [link] on the walls. And appliance shelves. If there's wall space. I really need to measure. And find out what the deal with the fridge is. Like, do I have to get one.
