That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Rep. Betty Sutton should go "back in the kitchen," says Medina GOP

You know, there is probably a better way to put this. Also, you should probably back off the statement when pressed.

Punishingly Intricate

Tonight is baking (some Vegan coconut bar thing I think and regular chocolate chip cookies) for our team's bakesale at the roller derby bout tomorrow. Evidently at the last one there was much demand for vegan baked goods. A vegan baker friend suggested this recipe.

I hope my grandmother doesn't come back from the grave and punish me for using margarine!

Saturday is bike riding, on the trail from BWI down to Annapolis (for ice cream!) and back. Then b'day dinner for my mom at a great restaurant in the 'hood. Then, if we are not collapsed, to the 10th anniversary show for a favorite local band.

Sunday is a dumpling brunch at a local market and yoga and loafing! And figuring out how many hotel rooms we should try to block for our wedding guests.

What's your festive dinner going to be, Jesse?

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

Fury! by Roel-jan Elsinga

Milan 2010: Dutch designer Roel-jan Elsinga has created an angry little felt-covered chair called Fury!

The chair does look pretty angry....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If I'm going to have to sit upright in an airline seat for the entire flight, there had better be a free massage at the other end.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's your festive dinner going to be, Jesse?

I dunno -- my mom's cooking, per usual. Something delicious and probably involving ground turkey and no green vegetables or rice (due to my grandmother's eating restrictions).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nora, sad to say, there is no Trader Joe's in New Orleans. There are a couple of Whole Foods, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, yay! For all your weekend plans, lisah, but I am obsessed with the idea of riding bikes to get ice cream lately, so extra yay to that in particular

I KNOW! We have a couple of training rides we do that are treat-centric. One is a pie ride that I had to miss this year, unfortunately.

I'm just really hoping that the rain prediction goes away. Or that is clearly pouring and going to keep pouring in the morning before we head down to the trail. Weather is so stressful this time of the year!

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

Today, I see The Losers. Rest of the weekend like normal.

What do you totally agree with, Jesse-the-cowgirl?

Oh, I wish all airlines would do this! Well, really, I wish that there was more room between seats so that if someone in front of me reclined back they aren't impeding on my space. That is maddening.

Yet another reason to Jet Blue (you can upgrade for more space for around $50.00, but they are pretty spacious already).
