We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Had dinner with my grandmother and cousins, which was nice, but really reminds me I would like to spend time just with my grownup cousin! Between the 91-year-old and the nearly-3-year-old, there was not much actual conversation....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's been a rainy day in SF, so we've had Irish Coffee, and now I've got a lasagna in the oven.

We're watching A Series of Unfortunate Events which remains perfect in every detail except for the casting of Jim Carrey.

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

Went to work this morning to indoctrinate welcome a new employee. Then J and I put together my new shed (which is PERFECT) and I cleaned up the yard. I feel accomplished and exhausted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am eating strawberries on top of sour cream biscuits. Not bad at all.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I made a new slow cooker recipe (ganked, ashamedly, from Sandra Lee, and then I tweaked it.) It's chicken and noodles, basically, and I made wheat rolls (frozen) with it, and it turned out SO WELL, and was fairly easy.

I'll do the recipe later, if anyone wants it, but I am checking site while eating and then I have to get back to grading.

not your mom's socks.

HKF asked for some of the zucchini frittata I'd made in the middle of dinner. So after picking myself up off the floor, I changed out her plate, and she ate what we ate, without the traditional fight, for two nights in a row. I'm amazed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heh, I've had that lunch.

Tonight's dinner was reheated lentil soup, with a last-minute addition of rice (and extra chicken stock) after I realized we had no bread to sop it up with. It wound up thicker than I'd planned, and was seriously delicious.

I had split pea soup for dinner. Very tasty, but I'm still hungry.
