Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I made spinach and cauliflower lasagna for dinner. It's pretty good, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort of mashing the cauliflower and using a ton of dishes to make it. But, on the other hand, this is enough for at least six meals, so I guess that was six meals worth of effort, so it works out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I change the sheets every two weeks (in theory, in practice it's when I get around to it, like everything else) and turn the mattress four times a year (I'm actually pretty good about that) as instructed by the manufacturer, or possibly the seller, but there were instructions that I follow.

How often do people who share a bed with someone else wind up snuggling together while sleeping? I can manage resting a hand or foot against Hubby, but the whole romantic, "lying in one another's arms" thing makes me nuts while trying to actually sleep.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Never, nada, niente. I am a mad snuggler while awake, but don't touch me when I'm trying to sleep. Luckily, DH is of the same temperament.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

How often do people who share a bed with someone else wind up snuggling together while sleeping?

Well, I don't know, since I'm unconscious, but I'm guessing, based on where we are if I wake up in the middle of the night, there's no snuggling while sleeping.

Compassionately intolerant

The first bf I tried to sleep with was very sweet about touching in the night. Actually, just like Bartleby in a cute way I never thought of until now. He'd respect my space, but several times a night, he would rouse and look around to make sure I was there. Maybe put a hand out to touch me and then fall back to the pillow.

I don't think he was ever fully conscious but, obviously, I was.

DH was a very snuggly sleeper. It had been an issue with previous girlfriends to the point where he was really relieved that I was fine with it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Don't make me post my "spoons" poem again, people.

H has sets and sets of sheets, he likes them crisp and doesn't mind blends.

I use two identical sets of leaf-printed ridiculous thread-count cotton, because I prefer soft and smooth to crisp, and two coordating solid sets, and I mix, so I have either a solid bottom and printed top sheet, or printed bottom and solid top sheet, with one solid and one printed pillowcase for each set.

I have in the closet another three sets of mini-print and solid cream cotton, but I need pillowcases before I can use them, because two of the sets came with standard cases and my pillows are queen size. I'd love to find a print with handwriting on cream or ivory for the cases.

We change about twice a month, and rotate the mattress every three to six months.

Um, my sheet problem is less bad than my underwear problem, but ummmm.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I have three sets - two regular cotton, and one flannel. I need to replace the flannel, they're pretty threadbare. I'm going to try and score some bamboo on sale, I think.

Calli and I watched Off the Map. This one wasn't too bad. And then I introduced her to the glories of Justified. Mmm, Raylon.
