whoot! just got rid of some juice glasses and canning jars. no money, but stuff gone gone gone.

Kay, I can't even begin to imagine the stress and complications.

msbelle, yay for more stuff gone!

Frankie is STILL zonked from the dog park! I love it! I'm watching Prisoner of Azkaban of ABC fam.

I skimmed. I'm back in Colorado and still tuckered from the long drive. So much happened in the two days I was offline. My heart is with all of you. I wish I had Meara'ed as I went along. ~ma.

Well said, Typo Boy. I think I learned the phrase "survival skills" because my mom would sometimes say if I had any, I wouldn't let her see me for a while.

Or is there no molasses rum connection?

They're both stops on the sugar product train.

I know the general rule is "don't read the comments" but sometimes you find places where the commenters aren't insane...and then just the right topic comes up and either the idiots come out of the woodwork or people start showing their asses. It's quite depressing. And in this place, it seems to be race that sets everyone off. Hmmph.

My sister and her BF are coming over soon. I need to get off my butt and clean up the house. She was at the old farmhouse in TN all week, and came back with a vanload of stuff (again). Now I have my grandfather's oak corner cabinet (triangular shaped cupboard, fits in a corner) tucked behind the sofa, and a walnut library stand/bookcase, also made by my grandfather, in the dining room to replace the ugly little bookcase that was there. I've been wanting those two pieces forever, and I'm glad to finally have them in my house. I wish I felt better today, but I just want to sleep and cry.

Just got caught up on the day.

-t, I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

-t, I am so sorry for your loss.

I think I've got my act together for the wedding tomorrow. Hotel room, dress, pedicure, directions, petsitter, wedding gift...Figure I'll go walking in the morning, go for a swim, wash the sheets, pack up, do a round of "oh dear god, people seeing my messy house!" and head out midafternoon. I'll shower and dress at the hotel. Debating taking the laptop, but probably won't. I should cram a trip to staples for an inkcartridge in there somewhere. Went to print out instructions and oh yeah, out of ink.

I napped all day long and didn't really wake up until an hour ago. Here's hoping I can fall back to sleep at a reasonable time tonight!
