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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

There are sections of the gym where it's held that are marked off for different categories -- kitchen stuff, books, men's clothes, women's clothes, kids' clothes, etc. So after you put your stuff in the appropriate sections, you are free to roam and take whatever you like.

There's a bulletin board at the front where people can post pictures and descriptions of things that are too large to get to the gym, like furniture, etc. In those instances, people just have to connect with the owner and make plans to pick the large thing up.

It's a great event. Things that are unclaimed at the end go to either the community food pantry (they also hand out non-food things, like blankets, etc.) or to Goodwill.

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

I do oatmeal overnight in the slow cooker. Dead easy AND it's ready before I wake up.

This morning, however, was a bagel day. After breakfast we took Dylan and a friend to the play gym around the corner and now all are zonked and attempting nappage.

I didn't get up for breakfast, so for lunch I made an English muffin with a fried egg and a slice of white American cheese, coffee, and a bowl of blueberries.

Tom does a thing where he toasts the steelcut oats in butter, then covers them in boiling water overnight- then he cooks it up with the milk and raisins in the morning. It's quick enough for a weekday breakfast without having to go instant or use rolled oats.

Mmmmm!

I have a cat on me and am watching 30 Rock. I have a thing to go to tonight, that I'm kind of not really looking forward to.

Well i had things I could have done last night , but I was too tired. Two asthma attacks last night, which explains the tired.

I am now in the mode where sitting on the couch , I feel fine. but getting up to sweep , exhausted me.

and because it is on topic, this is a homemade instant oatmeal recipe from a vegan blog
