this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I went to the gym (1 mile in 15:44, WOOT), and later (after I shower) we're going up to the community swap meet (called "Up For Grabs Day" -- if you bring at least 2 things you want to get rid of, you can come in and take as much you want of the shit that other people brought to get rid of [this is VERY dangerous with The Boy, and I don't let him go to it without me]).

Much later, we're going to have Mexican food and glow bowling with some friends. The Mexican restaurant is attached to the bowling alley, so we get soused on enormous margaritas and then attempt to bowl.

Tomorrow, the usual desultory attempt at cleaning, run to the grocery, and meet up with a friend who is borrowing one or both of my corsets. Possibly a matinee of Dr. Parnassus.

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

I am so sorry I missed that.

You should've come! It was fun.

Ple, how many lemons do I need to make a small batch of marmalade?

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

Do you have to stay with your stuff? or does it just go out for people to take? It probably goes without saying, but I WOULD LOVE AN UP FOR GRABS DAY.

I did sell another book on Amazon today, so that is something.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The recipe I normally use for Meyers calls for three pounds, but you can reduce it. It is seriously the best thing ever. I will dig up the link.

It's amazing. Low yield because of the lower sugar content, but whimper-worthy.

I would make meyer lemon cupcakes of some sort.

I am still lying in bed. I was having some sort of dream wherein many of us (including ND and Sean and Aimee--I think it was inspired by "people at the wedding") were somehow in this teacher training thing with me. And my back hurt, and I was trying to strap a pillow to stay around me, but it looked silly and didn't help, and Drew was all "oooh, if you're already falling apart and we"re only thus far into training...". Unsurprisingly when I woke up, I needed to stretch and crack my back. Hrmph.

I have to go pick up books at the library to learn about how to run a nonprofit. And then go to a yearly all woman amateur strip show. Which should be awesome but is also last year where my ex met the girl who partly caused our breakup (who she is still dating a year later). So, bitter.

Oh, I will also mail nailpolish today.

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

You should've come! It was fun.

I thought about it, after the other thing fell through, but I'm pretty sure that the 2 hour drive it would have been because of the rain would have turned my tired into rage.

You could've done what megan did, and spent the night there.

I had a hair appt today. Unfortunately, I forgot because I lost the card. I see from my caller id that they called yesterday, but no message got left, so that's weird. But she rescheduled me for next week.

Probably a good thing though, cause she told me that main street down there is a total mess. A fair amount of snow has come down in the past few hours.
