We usually have calzones on Superbowl day, because I can make them ahead and freeze them in the vast quantities necessary to feed a houseful of teenage boys. But we have no kiddoes this year. But I`m still craving calzones.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

The formula for how many sheet sets that I heard is N + 2, N being the number of beds in that size (twin, queen, etc) that you have. That way, if you have two queen beds, you have four sheet sets, two on the beds, one on the shelf and one in the wash. More if you have coordinated sheets with decor....

some of it I really want to give to people who will cherish it for who owned it and the story behind it.
Unfortunately, all the people who know the story behind it don't care about the things. They're the ones who sent everything.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're not having people over for the Superbowl, so we'll order pizza, and munch on chips and salsa.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
My grandmother is someone who Saves Things; when she moved out of her house we hired an estate company, and even they had never seen anything like her basement. My mom ended up with custody of several sets of heirloom dishes and a lot of old photos, and my grandmother still has more of both, apparently.
I have a tendency to accumulate pretty old things I don't need: vintage hats, jars of buttons, photos of strangers. Not to mention the clothes. I'm better than I used to be, though-- I found the original owners of my giant suitcase of vintage photos and gave them back.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I am impressed with how often most of you wash your sheets. I find putting sheets on the bed to be incredibly onerous, so it only happens when they start to smell off or a cat manages to sneak into the bedroom and do something terrible on my bed. Aside from the semi-annual Seasonal Changing of the Sheets i maybe wash them twice. Pillowcases, OTOH, get changed every time i wash my hair. I require clean pillowcases against my face. I have a huge stack of clean pillowcases next to the bed. Needless to say, they rarely match the sheets. Years ago while i was living in San Diego i bought one of those wee bitty sewing machines and made stacks of pillowcases out of remnants and discount flat sheets. That's as extensive as my sewing ever got.

Puppy Bowl!
We're going to my mom and stepdad's, and I think my sports-loving would throw a beer at my head if I suggested the puppy bowl. Philistines.

There was some crazy random dude there last night, wearing bright green pants, suspenders, and just a plain white dress shirt, and a full-face gold sparkly mask. Every time I bumped into him, he pulled a bible out of his pants and pointed at me and then the bible and made the crossed-fingers-get-away gesture. And I would laugh and tell him that as the devil, I was a major character in that book.
The last time I bumped into him, he opened the bible to show me it was hollowed out so a flask would fit in there. Good times.

The status is NOT quo.
Hey, LAistas, I might need to beg a pharmacy run tomorrow. Could anyone help?If you still need any help with this ita, let me know. Do you have my cell number?
I have the World's Softest Sheets thanks to megan walker. We technically have other sheets, but these are the only ones that go on our bed. I wash them every 1-2 weeks depending on how busy I am.
Pete thanks for the coffee rec! So I should order the ground 5 lb Costa Rican blend?
