I went for a little walk! The mall across the street is open, but most of the stores are closed.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, you know those wire-framed clear plastic containers that new linens come in? Does anybody else hang onto those in the misbegotten belief that they will one day do the linen origami that allows them to go back in the containers where they will be happily stored during offseason? And do you use them?
We have a few. Which are sitting empty, awaiting whatever I thought might store well in them. We should just throw them out, too.
ION, when I said earlier that I wasn't hungover, I was mistaken. Blueberry pancakes and a long walk with the dog did nothing to make me feel better.
I'm hoping that the judicious application of half-price sushi at the neighborhood restaurant will combat the hangover. (I know; who craves raw fish when they're hungover? I cannot explain it.)

My mom used them to store knitting projects. I use them to store sewing projects.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
So this morning I had for breakfast an omelet with cheese and Hatch green chiles. I thought you all should know.
Whole Foods had freshly roasted (like, right out front) Hatch chiles yesterday. Now they are in my fridge. Best spur-of-the-moment WFing ever.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't think I've ever had Hatch chiles. Definitely something I want to try sometime.

Oooh, I am very happy for you.

I had a lovely evening at javachick's, complete with musical accompaniment by Beth's DH, and a wonderful new cocktail concocted by megan walker.
I've decided to christen it the Dark & Foggy in honor/honour of its Bay Area/London origins. [For the record, the recipe is 1 part Pimms #1, 4 parts ginger beer, and the juice of 1/2 a Meyers lemon over ice.]

It's very tasty and a fairly light cocktail. What they used to call a "2 o'clock drink" because it won't get you hammered.
