Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My latest food obsession is quinoa salads, esp this one with quinoa, black lentils, arugula, mint, and feta cheese. Mmm.

I made a quinoa salad for Mother's Day -- quinoa, corn, black beans, tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. You can also use bulgur or couscous instead of quinoa.

In another few weeks, it will be hot enough that I'll want to cut my hair, cuing the annual poutfest from Hubby, who thinks all women should have long hair. Fortunately he's learned to pout semi-quietly, because come June, this mass of hair is coming off the back of my neck.

My hair hasn't been this long in years. (It's wet in that picture, so when it dries it's not quite that long, but you get the idea.) I'm getting it cut at 12:30 tomorrow. Chin-length, probably. DEFINITELY above my shoulders. I've hit the point where I can't stand the feel of it on my shoulders and back.

The Boy is...accepting. That's the best I can say. I don't get men and their thing with women's hair. I really don't.

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

OMG, the cowboy boots full of meat.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Not sure why, but this has me laughing so hard I am crying.

Why didn't the buff guy do the demo? I hope my butcher has a claymore like that.

I don't get men and their thing with women's hair. I really don't.

It's a mystery. t /Geoffrey Rush.

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

That video was hot.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hec, DH makes a MEAN peanut sauce. I am a non-peanut sauce person and I loves it.

Also, hair turned out great! Pictures will come at some point--probably when this giant zit on my forehead receeds.

Of course. There was no doubt.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I need a new 'do.

Yes, you 'do. What's it going to be?

I need a new 'do.

I do too. I dreamed last night that a friend told me that all of my friends had gotten together and decided my hair looked terrible.
