Reports printed! Now for letters, once the SO finishes the text. Which gives me time for...socks! You are going down, socks!

not your mom's socks.

unplanned onerous tasks completed: groceries in a snowstorm, shoveling

but I got the 2010 business expenses out of the way earlier this week, so I'm calling that a win.

2 onerous tasks to go: rocksalting (eco-friendly, the package says) and dishes.

then more writing unless anyone gets sick or needs more food.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Socks have been defeated! Sorry, cat.

But seriously, what is the deal with socks? How is it possible to always have unmatched socks? I have umpteenmillion pairs of almost, but not quite identical socks. And at the end of the cycle, always unmatched socks. I am tempted to throw them back in the washer to see if the replicate.

Next up: lunch. Sauteed spinach with hominy and onions.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

{{{shrift}}} {{{amyth & lulu}}} Glad that smonster is entertaining you tonight!

so far my most onerous task of the day has been making a very elaborate breakfast involving olive oil, garlic, spinach, white beans, gnoccie, goat cheese, and dried cranberries. Delicious. Once i finish watching the tv episode i started while eating, i shall find a notary and remote-sign the bank paperwork to get my house insulated and new water heater and furnace. ooooh, and i did pay bills!

Speaking of great guest starts, Grey's Anatomy this week (does anyone else still watch it? I restarted this year): Ricky from My So Called Life and Warren! I suspect we'll be seeing more of Warren. Slightly unfortunate casting, as i think we're supposed to sympathize with the character and i still find him incredibly creepy.

Because books.

I'm pretty sure the most onerous thing I'm going to do today is shower, and I did that already. There may be a nap in my future, too.

Snow days don't bring out the productivity in me at all, especially when the littlest family member has been at a friend's since 10 a.m. with no sign of coming home anytime soon.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

On Leverage they choose their targets, and that's the end of that.

Whether or not they say, "the mark deserved it," their whole schtick is pretty much conning people who deserve it, generally because they conned someone else or hurt them in some way. I mean, right?
