So sad and angry and worried for our country. Do not doubt that the shooter is mentally ill, but really do not understand how people think that the violent rhetoric is not an issue.

Absolutely!

Reading Sullivan's blog is interesting, especially the reported- responses to him that hope for violence against him.

ION - what I did running around all day.

Took mac and a friend to a Birthday party.
Mailed 3 packages.
Had lunch with a friend.
Went thrift shopping (this time mostly helping other people find stuff).

Thift finds: possible sway lamp for the living room (not old, but I like it. will have to see how it looks hanging in the room), Calvin & Hobbes book for mac, 2 small items for the guest room.

I want to go thrift shopping SO BADLY. But I haven't really had time to. Maybe I'll walk up to Value Village tomorrow, if I hit my writing goal tonight.

Jilli, we too had Impromptu Soup

I have to remember to pick up more frozen veggies and potato wedges, because they are the key to Impromptu Soup.

sara, the last round of vomit that promoted cleaning the first set of car seat covers was not pink -- turkey soup and orzo.

I wonder if Grace is developing an intolerance to coconut milk or if she caught Noah's stomach bug?

It is roto season. Not something you really want to experiment with, but really the only way.

I marvel at those who thrift shop. I barely can manage places like Marshalls or TJMaxx. I'm just overwhelmed on every level and need to flee. Stacks at Target, I can do. Even big department stores make me insane. I need more order. Well, I need like online, but not online cause I actually have to try shit on.

This is from a NYT article quoting a Tea Party person: [link]

“While we need to take a moment to extend our sympathies to the families of those who died, we cannot allow the hard left to do what it tried to do in 1995 after the Oklahoma City bombing,” he wrote. “Within the entire political spectrum, there are extremists, both on the left and the right. Violence of this nature should be decried by everyone and not used for political gain.”

I have been thinking this afternoon how Sarah Palin is a lot like Timothy McVeigh in pumps and apparently even fellow Tea Party folks see that.

It's possible that I'm making plans to go to London in July.

Would you like an Oyster card? Mine still has some credit on it.

amych, I...somethinged your blog. Man, new shit to learn. Hate it.

One of the many things about radiators I adore? How I get blissed out cats lying on them, stoned by the warmth. Really happy cats.

For me, thrifting is aaaaallll about the Thrill Of The Hunt. Well, and the staring at something and figuring out what it could be turned into.
