I look more rad than Lutheranism

tonight I tried the Reed's Ginger "Brew," and not so much!

Which one? Because I have a Reed's in the fridge that's really good. It's the Extra Ginger one, so it has a lot of bite. I think the Reed's Original Ginger beer is kind of bleh.

I got the monistat anti-chafing gel, which I've been using for about a year, even around my eyes to good success, in the section with condoms. Believe it or not. At a CVS.

I have had too many calories + alcohol tonight = satiation.

BUT I do have a question... how do I work with figs? Do they need to be peeled? They were in my CSA box and I'd like to use them to make filling for Fig Newtons.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

People. Fire bad, tree pretty.

I've given most of my mission patches to my eldest nephew, but the hubble mission tiepins and pins? Yeah, I hang on to them. I like tacking my wee silver Hubble to the lapel of my "official" black dress for somber occasions.

And my squishy hubbles, and my massive SM4 poster thing. They dug up mission patch stickers to match what each of the servicing mission partners who worked the latest mission been a part of. Since I joined in 97, I think I have all but the first. And a piece of WFPC2.

I sometimes forget how awesome what I work on is.

My cousin fed me a fresh fig off her tree once. I never knew what they tasted like fresh. They were awesome.

Jessica, remember PASS! Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the trigger, and Sweep back and forth.

We did this! Except for the sweeping part because it really was a very, very small fire. And by "we" I mean DH who got to do the manly fire-putting-out bit while I stood on the landing with the kids just in case.

Allyson, that's so cool. I wish I'd gone in a sciencey direction in college instead of film sometimes.

I don't think you need to peel figs.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I just eat figs straight off the tree, no peeling. But if you're going to make filling...well, I don't know. Possibly.
