Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In other random news, What Not To Wear has a woman who dabbles in Gothic Lolita, and they are slamming it. Ugh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Seriously, weather gods are on The List. Only 40F when I got up this morning.
My whole summer was like that. Or rather, there was June and July but no summer.

Yeah, we had beautiful springlike weather in the 80s here in July, rather than the usual sauna climate for the whole summer. And even August hasn't been as brutal as usual, we'd been cracking 105° the past few years and I don't think it's gotten past 94° since early-July.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's finally getting warm enough up here that we can take the kids swimming. Tomorrow is supposed to be hot and steamy (94) so I want to go to the beach.

Its actually hot here for once.
ION, someone at Trader Joe's has clearly been lurking here since they had frozen cherry clafoutis and a big display of prosecco and peach nectar. (I skipped the peach since I have a lot of frozen mangoes, but succumbed to the other two.)

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