Mine doesn't get back until Wednesday, so Valentine's Day will be spent snuggling up with my TV BF, Matthew Grey Gubler. DH reports the first day of his motorcycle trip was a ride through really freezing weather. Not fun on a bike, where you make your own wincdchill. On the plus side, he got to Jackson (Mississippi) and found that there is a rodeo in town!
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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

Last day of the temporary job, so it was kind of a sad-making day. The work itself is pretty boring, but it was a great crew to work with, and also, I think we did a pretty damn good job.
This weekend, I've got to get major work done on my programming project due Friday. And also start sending out resumes in earnest again....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, really, I should draw. It's weird drawing for other people. I definitely need to do that. I should complete, at least, one picture this weekend and get a decent start on a second.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
If there is not sushi in my belly soon, SOMEONE is not going to be able to camp this weekend because he will have broken limbs. IJS.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, ita. I hope something can turn around for you soon.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hi, I skimmy skim skimmed, mostly to answer this.
Hey, speaking of the Amy contingent, anyone heard from amyth lately? I worry.
I saw her this weekend, and again last night. She's doing all right. I'll see her again tomorrow. Nothing much has changed with her brother. Work is nuts.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So egyptian revolution,huh? Yeah, that's all I've got at the moment.
I would like to draw your attention to a previous comment of mine on this board:
I've never been delayed in traffic by the official business of the US government. I have, however, been caught in a traffic jam, three separate times in two different cities, by the entourage of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. He joins the Girl Scouts of America on my list of nemeses.
Girl Scouts of America, I am putting you on notice.

This weekend, JZ and I are on the guest list with will-call tickets for this event on Saturday. As Phil and Jennifer are in town.
If we can find a babysitter. Uh...megan?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I did not finish the closet o' doom on onerous task day. I did get my bathroom sink and vanity cleaned and the toilet scrubbed yesterday, unpacked and got rid of a box, and found places to put the contents.
Today I went through the shelves and moved things to closet storage--accessible but out of sight, while displaying some newly-unpacked things. I polished silver pieces, wrapped them in tarnish-retardent to store until they're wanted again, and culled some vid files on the desktop hard drive. Tomorrow I'll go through a few more boxes hoping to find the brass clips so we can hang the wooden and glass shelves in the breakfront, so I can finish unpacking the dining room and overflow kitchen stuff.
I'm checking Craigslist for round or square dining tables, and comfy dining chairs, and if I find some we may go take a look tomorrow or Sunday. And I need to work on a writing project whenever there's time.
