Borrowing the neighbor's pickup. Buying 16 cubic feet of dirt. Planting peas. Weaning my son. Visiting the Mall of Georgia. Eating cake.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I will be napping and cleaning. With some extra napping.
ION, Ummmm huh?

I just wondered that if our founders thought taxation without representation was bad, what would they think of representation WITH taxation?
Don't even try to comprehend the strange thoughts that flit through that tiny brain.

I had a very full weekend planned. And then my cold ruined pretty much all of it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I've taken Monday off, but I'm staying local, so hopefully lots of rest and at least 2 or 3 movies. Fox Sci-Fi tonight, though.

Provided I'm well enough, there's class tomorrow and a birthday party on Sunday.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I keep starting and then stopping about a billion different responses, and I'm finally left blinking in perplexity and saying a faux-Southern "Oh, bless her heart, she thinks she made a point there."
Doing this weekend: Housecleaning like a housecleaning demon tonight and tomorrow (any localistas who want to come and visit with/distract Matilda in exchange for meals and gratitude are heartily welcome), then tomorrow evening Matilda and I drive to Reno with my mom to see her new place, go to church together the next morning, and come back home after that.
