Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay for surprise pedicures!
It's finally sunny here, and I have a lot of stuff to do (mostly to get myself and the apartment and the cats ready for my trip to NYC/Ireland next week), but really I just want to go sit outside and read, or go ride my bike.
I went to the St Albans Farmer's Market today. I drove over to see if it was going on (it's really within walking distance and next week I walk over) and there's no actual produce yet what with the late winter and all the damn rain.
But tons of baked goods, preserves, local wine, cool jewelry and stuff. And Puerto Rican food! Unfortunately I was full from a late breakfast but I got a desert tembleque- an amazing coconut custard.
Next week I'm going to have lunch from there.
This is really exciting because this is the only option for any kind of Latin American food within about a 45 minute drive.
I walked to the library and browsed a bit, then I had a salad with farmers market lettuce for lunch. Now, the neighbors are using some sort of things with engines on their lawn, so I'm trying to decide if I want to stay here or go out somewhere, because I do not like the noise.
At least we'll meet the post-Rapture tribulations with pretty feet.
Watching the Preakness undercard, then watching the Preakness. . . soaking my feet later today.
Oh, Preakness. I forgot about Preakness! But I can't watch because the SO is in the tv room. And he's watching Indy pole day. What time is the actual race, sumi?
Post time is 6:25 pm Eastern. And it'll be on NBC.
Weeding, adding to and turning compost before the rain starts.
Working on a resume and my other project for the ISEE.
Grading papers (9 days left! YAY! And my 3 senior classes are over on Thursday -- guess who will be doing some writing work at school for a few days? (after school obligations are done, of course...))
Cleaning my office. Setting up an invoicing system. Setting up receipts files.
Library for info on Wordpress and on tax stuff for independent contractors.
AND I'M GOING TO READ A FUCKING BOOK IF IT KILLS ME.
I was going to do yard work today, but I slept really late for no reason, and now I don't feel like doing anything. My head's all muzzy and it's really bright outside. Meh. I'll grab some food, and maybe feel better in an hour or so.
I'm currently on lunch break from class--have to go back at 1:15 until we're done, hopefully by 4:00. Then, I really should get started on my paper that's due next Saturday when I get home by 5, after I feed my cat, that is. She didn't like that I was reading my textbook this morning, and squeezed in around the book onto my chest for some petting. I ended up putting the book on the couch next to me and tried to read around her head.
