Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I got a fantastic haul from CSA this week. I can't identify a couple of the greens but I did get garlic scrapes. Never used those before, so I'm looking forward to trying them out.

I hit Costco this afternoon and finally bought a set of shelves for my garage. I have been looking at these for a while but the box is SO HEAVY that I have been putting it off. Today I got a guy to help me put the box on the flatbed cart and another guy to lift it into the car. When I got home, neither of the kids were home so I got someone else to help me tip it back out of the car.

So, now my weekend will include putting together the shelves and rearranging the garage. Wheeeeee?

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

I also has CSA corn and green beans with dinner! Along with some CSA parsley and non-CSA pumpkin ravioli. Nom nom nom.

Did the farmer not tell the coordinators what they were?

No coordinator on site today. Or at least, not while I was there. The newsletter lists what was expected to be harvested this week, I just need to match it up. But I'm still hot and tired from all my errands, so I haven't unpacked everything yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Plei, thanks! The European sizing threw me; I always end up with shoes too short when they're sized that way. I'm thinking of getting the Dylan sneaker. Do you have any words of wisdom on that one?

Haven't tried it! I've got the Lucy, the Odette, the Yukam, and the Womad.

Make a secret compartment book?

Cutting up books makes me twitch. It is possible I could bear to cut up a Readers' Digest Condensed Book or the Left Behind series.

I have no CSA, but I have lettuce, basil, and some peas form my own garden, and cuke, spinach, carrots, mushrooms and strawberries from the farmer's market at the hospital by work. My kettuce was just beginning to bolt. I hope it's not too bitter yet.

Our wings are not tired.

I feel the same way, but I have lots of outdated textbooks.

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

Emmett and I discovered that he had a Best Buy gift card leftover from xmas that had never been used, so we planned to spend it today.

Since the Best Buy south of Market has a great taco truck, that's where we went for lunch.

Emmett had never had Taco Truck tacos so he was blown away by their tastiness.

The Best Buy smelled of some horrible combination of melted plastic and industrial cleaner. So we perused briefly but could not find the Avatar S3 or Teen Titans S3 we were seeking. He settled for Forgetting Sara Marshall. But we asked a staffperson to look it up and they said they had copies of the Avatar season at the Colma store.

We looked it up on Emmett's iPhone and hit the freeway. It was only 15 minutes away and we scored our DVDs. Driving back through Colma though we spotted the entrance to Woodlawn Cemetary and I decided we should go in.

Emmett was dubious.

But once we got up into it he was really intrigued by all the tombstones and dates and implied stories. Even if Some of the stories were heartbreaking.

On the way out, we stumbled across this Very Famous Person's tombstone completely by accident. Cool!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My family often enjoys a trip to the cemetary. Ooh, I should suggest that for a grandmotherly outing soon.
