Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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

I don't think I'm at risk for being Raptured, so I may see you at the food truck rally, Tom.

Art Crawl!!!

People have left my office. . . for the most part. But seriously: it looks pretty dark.

Uh oh - somebody walked past and said a new round of tornadoes is coming through.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

you know, that was on a CSI:NY a few weeks ago ... needless to say, it did not end well

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I wanna go!

What are people doing this weekend?

I don't have much planned, other than maybe going to a beginning yoga class, making a Target run, and doing laundry.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The only food truck I've seen around here lately was one with school-lunchroom quality burritos owned by the same douche who owns the biker/frat bar that keeps me awake weekend nights. I wish the guy who had a Cajun-themed one a few years ago was still around.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

(eta: now the hummingbirds are indignant at the sudden lack of a feeder. inexplicable! unacceptable!)

My bee allergy means no hummingbird feeder, but I so want one after hearing about your real-life Angry Birds, Liese.

What are people doing this weekend?

Saturday: sleep, run, sleep, work
Sunday: sleep, sleep, yoga, work

I'd like to get some housecleaning done, but we'll see. I'm still adjusting to the 65-hour workweek.

Because books.

We have a first communion party to go to on Sunday, otherwise it's kid-wrangling, writing (for me), and hopefully not getting rained on both days.

The Rapture? Or a food truck rally? Or was it the Rapture AT a food truck rally?!

If only Liese had green pigs.

And I think that the tornado warning has expired - now the NIU weather page is exclaiming about a severe thunderstorm warning.

hip deep in pie

Weekend plans: cleaning for my family;s arrival, feeding a friend's cats, gardening if the weather holds and laundry.
