I have a problem handling my mail. But I'm going to have to process the unopened mail this week, before company gets here. Bleh. Just feel avoidant.

I am totally doing this today.

Because my mom shows up tomorrow.

Yeah.

More than a housecleaner, I wish I had someone to handle my stupid daily finances. Right now I'm doing the inputting of receipts into Quicken, and mr. flea is doing the online bill paying, except for some of it, and it's not working at all. So many little fiddly things, due different times, and ARGH.

In looking at my high school mix tapes, I realized there's some key R&B missing from my collection. So I went on iTunes to buy some Troop, and it then recommended "Whip Appeal." Excellent call!

It's a fabulous pie, just the perfect combination of tart and sweet and so easy to make, but like I said, it's odd to see a recipe calling for zest-- not that it's necessarily bad, just different.

I wouldn't be surprised much to see zest in a recipe, though I guess it's not usually called for. But I'm not sure what effect you expected it to have on the texture?

I guess I didn't expect it to be something that you have to dig out of your teeth.

Amen. I have stacks and stacks. Especially the junk mail that I get sent that I think "I should really shred this rather than just throwing it out", but then somehow i just end up with a pile of it, unshredded. And then all the rest of the mail I haven't dealt with. And then eventually the mail that I should've been able to easily say "this is junk to throw out" but instead have thrown on top of the pile of stuff that isn't junk but I haven't opened either.

Did you guys see that incredibly offensive Cintra Wilson piece about JCPenney in the NYTimes a couple of weeks ago? The Public Editor addresses it: [link]

Wow. That sounds like a truly hateful piece. I hope her apologies are sincere.

Just read that Jamaica won as many golds in Berlin as we had won in total at the IAAF championships up to last year. I'm all asquee.

another household with mail problems. there are just a few things every day that should get opened, but really , we don't need to hang onto . nor would it be tragic if it was never opened. But they must hang out for a few months, just in case. Just in case of what, I'm not sure...

I pay so many of my bills electronically that I don't open them when they come in the mail. I'm finally cancelling mail delivery of them. Which is when I realised that at least one provider (T Mobile) is about to start charging me for sending me paper.
