Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

6 stitches, in and out in an hour, so not too bad. Hell on my typing, though.

Yikes! That's a pretty serious polish injury!

Insult to injury to Boston, this week is National Drinking Water week

Ha ha ha! I am boiling more water, and wishing I hadn't read the thing that said not to just use the water coming out of the tap for handwashing. Luckily, I spent the afternoon outside of the Bad Water Zone.

Wow, Jess. I'm glad you're ok. From now on I'll only open nail polish with thick gloves on.

As Suzi mentioned, the farmer's market was seriously lacking in veggies but I do have pretty nails (Bastille My Heart - OPI). And absolutely no gloves necessary when someone else is opening the polish bottle. Whew!

“Not dead yet!”

Seriously, there is nothing like copyediting to make you feel monumentally stupid. Especially after you discover that your CE is the author of the Everything Spanish Grammar book and is catching really stupid mistakes that I really should have caught earlier.

Am now feeling like complete loser for not catching errors in a language in which I'm fluent, but don't use daily.

Why, Universe, did you gift me with such a crazy perfectionist streak?

And holy cats, Jess. You need to stay away from murderous polish bottles.

I remember some kid in a high school Spanish class arguing with the teacher because he would have said X in his Spanish-speaking home. But, you know, it was like the equivalent of "Me and her ain't going to that party" or whatever -- stuff that's objectively wrong, but still the way actual people talk.

Instead, I shall once again proclaim the NUMMY-ness of Trader Joe's Maple Leaf Cookies.

The box I bought for M and I? Almost gone. You're a tad evil for getting me hooked on them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ouch, Jess. I hope it heals up quickly.

If it was something like that, I'd feel better about stetting it, but in this case, she was correct and it was just an easy mistake on my part-- a difference between an "e" at the end of the word versus an "a" that changes the tense.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well bless my soul, mac actually ate food I had cooked. BBQ chicken to be precise. miracles do happen. of course he also wanted fries, so the oven is on, but that means I also went ahead and made muffins. More baking items out of the pantry. I've started boxing up the unopened pantry items that have no chance of getting used.

also made more jello for mac, that will be dessert for the week.

Yay for miracles, msbelle.

I'm very not ready for tomorrow to be Monday. Can we insert an extra day into the weekend? Please?
