Today has been busy, you know, once I got up. Went to have lunch with mac at his school. ran 2 errands and then the parents came over. Dad built mac a table to hold 2 plastic bins of moon sand (I guess we could make more than two as they just lift in and out). Then mom and I went to get fabric to line the curtains and dad got to work fixing some rotted out boards in my backyard fence. In the middle there I met a neighbor across the street I had not yet met and also moved 5 more of those 25lb edging stones. Folded some laundry, mom made the beds, went and ran another errand and then got mac from school.
Only bad part of the day was that mom was emptying the dishwasher for me and while putting things away knocked a glass out of the cabinets and it broke. Of course it was my 1939 World's Fair juice glass. ugh. I didn't react at all, because you know, things happen, and no good would come from her knowing it cost me like $50.
There was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich place in the Village for a while, iirc.
I'm a little perplexed that Colbert was allowed to testify before Congress mostly in character.
The way I see it, most people testify before Congress "in character" anyway, so it's okay.

I've been out of the political loop for a couple weeks, but - regarding what is Colbert is testifying that being in character makes sense? How is that even legal?
Elmo testified before congress. [link]
Does she own The Reef that's now replaced it? I ate at Blue Fish once during the street fair (and it was yummy), but the dinner prices generally kept me away.
She owns The Reef that replaced it. And, they have reduced their dinner prices and kept the chef from before. So, same yummy taste. Lower prices. Win!
OMFG, Lifetime made a movie based on
Reviving Ophelia
? I think I have to record it just so I can be properly pissed, b/c it's sure to be a trainwreck.
Wasn't that non-fiction, smonster? I couldn't figure that out when I saw the commercial.
Yes! It was a critical examination of the shitty societal messages adolescent girls internalize. I don't really recall there being any narrative thread throughout, though I haven't read it in over a decade. I just have this bad feeling it's going to get turned into histrionics and victim-blaming. Yanno, since it's Lifetime.
