Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Do cats have menopause?

Ha! Just a dropped article. She's been fixed for the sixteen and a half years that I've had her. So no kitty menopause for her.

My portable air conditioner is brilliant. It's rough asking it to cool two rooms but it is still working on it.

Still vacationing, but I took this picture of Grace's new t-shirt for ita and Steph: [link]

Also, vanilla porter is not really vanilla-y in the same way maple porter is maple-y.

Also, I have decided I like OPI's silver crackle polish over a seafoam green. But it's all chipped to hell now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bat baby! Except she's so not a baby anymore.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I take it the board was down while I was at work?

Quite the thunderstorm rolled through this morning. There was a simultaneous FLASH and BOOM and suddenly the theatre was pitch black. There few things as dark as a theatre right before the emergency lights come on.

Also, I have decided I like OPI's silver crackle polish over a seafoam green.

I found I liked the matte crackles better than the metalics. They looked more deliberate, while some of the metalics just looked like your nails had gotten F-ed up. (I went to Sephora one day at lunch and tried them all on different fingers and over different polishes.)

This is my favorite crackle at the moment. I also have red, white, and black crackle.

Looks like the car wash is still going to happen tomorrow, but with the parents washing the cars until the team gets back from the mountain. Uhhhh, I have a massage already scheduled right in the middle of the car wash. Had planned to do that and then go get my car washed/wait for CJ to be done. Maybe I'll go and help clean up.

Gawd, Gracie's so big! Not even a toddler, but girl!

Margaritas on the deck. And I had cilantro jalapeño hummus on hand. And a cheddar with carmelized onion made an appearance.

And I just febreezed a stinkbug that got in in the hope that when Loki does catch it, it will stink a little less.

Gracie has a fantastic grin!

I have to share this quote from a co-worker:

Live free or die! Whenever I drive into NH, I immediately remove my seat belt and hang a foot out the window in a mild effort to do both.

Can someone do me a favor and click on my blog? Do you see the title/header?

Same bizarre-ness in Explorer.

BTW, Amy, do you want to make the Blogger header/navbar invisible, like so? I have the html for that.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

In spite of a sinus migraine, today I made salad, stir fry, simple syrup and then mango sorbet, ran the dishwasher, put dishes away and partially filled it again, did two loads of laundry and put it all away, logged into work and did stuff for 2.5 hours, partially cleaned the bathroom, sorted through some books, took out the garbage, and went for a 3.5 mile walk.

Tomorrow I need to clean more of the things, and make salsa and various tomato sauces.
