The ice cream shop down the street from me sells an "Icy Tea" which is iced tea with two scoops of lemon sorbet instead of ice cubes. It is heavenly, and the only thing currently preventing me from melting into a puddle on the thousand-degree floor.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Back from the In-laws 50th, celebrated with two days of, basically, hanging out up in gorgeous Los Osos. Lots of eating and chatting and it ended with a big barbeque and a cake and the M-I-L crying happy tears, so it was a success.
The only downside is the DH's niece, who got married last year at age 18. She has announced that she is pregnant. Neither of them finished college, They've already separated once since they got married, her husband just got a minimum wage job at U-Haul, she's unemployed and they have no insurance. And yet--they "planned" this baby. WTF.

Sometimes I think it's not such a bad thing I have no extended family. I get enough drama from the immediates.

Maria, health-ma for your Ma.
It's a lovely day outside, but I've got some kind of burgeoning migraine. I was out for 15 minutes and I had to come back in and drawn the blinds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey you guys! Happy birthday, JZ!
I was on a Lufthansa plane earlier, and the pilot kept giving updates on the Germany-England game. Good times. I have many many posts to read (or, more likely, skim/p), but am home from vacation. I've been up for almost 22 hours at this point (with a little nap on the plane), but am hoping to stay awake until evening, if not night....

Because books.
Welcome home, Jesse!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Maria, lots of no-big-deal~ma headed y'all way.
I totally zonked for a couple of hours, and now I am gronked. Kind of screws my plans for the day, alas, so now I need to figure out what absolutely has to get done. Grocery shopping and fixing dinner is next, methinks.

Compassionately intolerant
Felicitations on your natal day JZ. The world is prettier, wiser and clever...er...for having you in it.
Weather.com tells me it 'feels like' 104 outside.
I'll tell you what it feels like! It feels like, thank GOD for air conditioning. That's what it feels like.
I suppose that reads like sarcasm but it is, every degree, sincere.

Because books.
I'm hot and really bored and completely inert today, and now it's annoying me. But moving away from the fan seems unwise.
I'm thinking something on Hulu and possibly nail-painting.
Maria, all kinds of ~ma for your mom. I hope everything's all right.
