See, I would vote red, but apparently I'm in the minority here.

Enjoying my new roomie--I introduced her to the giant Asian supermarket here (Uwajimaya) and we bought ingredients and made stirfry and watched The Good Wife together. Yay.

...why does Monday keep coming around?

A good roommate is gold.

someone apparently showed the shopped one *to* Ackles.

His wife, actually. Atta girl.

Huh. I am no longer appalled. Now I am amused. A fan would be iky to me but marital? Heh.

I had a toilet clog and overflow and ugh. Towels are in the dryer now and I've gotten mostly over the blech. Ugh.

Oh Cass, that sucks. While I am still (and will be until late October) dealing with the repairs from my house flood, the one thing I am so grateful for is that it was clean water.

Tommy, that all sounds terrific and very promising!

Yay for good first date, tommyrot!

We had marital date night, which consists of Northern Exposure and lemon frozen yogurt and popcorn. Which may not be much, but is totally awesome to us.

Tomorrow we're back into the fray and the travel may be pretty crazy. Temps start dropping this week. I can't believe we're out of nighttime window opening season and into woodstove tending season. But we've got our first cord of oak in, split and stacked already, so I guess we're ready. I'd like to get the chimney swept and replace the missing airflow tube positioning pins. But that's just details. Anyway, I hope the roads are dry enough to travel tomorrow. Afternoon rain expected, so if we can get it done, we'll be ok.

Tommy! I'm so happy for you! What an awesome date. I'm grinning like a loon thinking about it.

Blech, Cass, I hate when that happens. Glad that it is in the past.

Well dang, tommyrot knows how to have a first date. Kudos!

Oops! That's why I couldn't find his name when I was searching on P-Cow. Tom, you steered me right!

Yes! It was all Tom! I don't even watch Adventure Time, dude!

Yeah, for the longest time I was feeling like I'd never be in a relationship again, but at some point I realized that I'm very often completely wrong about negative feelings like that....

I am feeling like I'm never going to be in a relationship ever, so I hope I'm wrong about that. Or whatever. Good on you and your awesome date!

I actually fell asleep at a reasonable time. Then awoke at 1:54, certain that my alarm was about to go off and it was time to get moving. I'm wide, freaking, awake right now. Not on, brain. Not on.

I did that. At 4:45. I stayed in bed for another hour. Ah well, I needed an early start to drop the car off for an oil change.
