I have mint chocolate chip cones. They're a little melted from me being tardy getting them in the freezer after the Schwans man came, so they should squish through the internets pretty easy.

Because the incompetent mailroom in the Home Office misplaced a package, I don't have to work tomorrow. Yay!

Yay incompetence!

Then go home and kiss Hec a lot because it's our anniversary; possibly also crack open the fancy bottle of wine one of my bosses gave me for Administrative Assistants Day.

I should get on making a meal worthy of that bottle of wine.

I think the Men With Belted Sweaters would all have monkey tail moustaches.

msbelle, you are reminding me so much of my friend Alison. She and her husband came out to visit SF once, and we were standing outside a very cool house in North Beach and the owners arrived and invited us up to see the view from their roof.

Alison kept shooting us daggers with her eyes as we trooped up there and then she made a big display of taking lots of pictures of them and us and the roof.

When we came down she explained how she was certain they were serial killers luring us to our deaths and she wanted to make sure there was evidence on the camera. She couldn't imagine that people would just be nice and want to show off their view to strangers.

The funniest part for me was that she wanted to leave evidence for the crime scene investigators, but was too polite to run screaming from the house.

Yep, she was from NYC, the paranoia incubator.

Timelies all!

3LF is performing at the Maryland Fairy Festival this weekend. We have a one hour set both Saturday and Sunday. I hope it doesn't rain too much...

Sounds good, smonster!

Back from the grilled cheese food truck. The line was huge - it took almost an hour! AND no tots! The fryer was down, but I did get a sharp cheddar and bacon on French with bacon aioli for dipping. Now I want DQ --- hummmm I wonder if I could get away with running to the mall for a minute or two?

I made myself a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato, and it's pretty darn good! Although the melting could be better.

BACON AIOLI I MUSRT HAVE THIS.

Large trash item pick-up is tomorrow, so I came home from work and hauled a bunch of crap from the garage to the curb.

Tonight, I work on a resume, and maybe read a book or something crazy like that before bed.

Tomorrow, I gotta clean the back porch, work on grading and resume, do laundry, bake a chocolate stout cake, roast a chicken, make rosemary-garlic potatoes and roasted cauliflower. I'm having a wee dinner party.

Sunday, I gotta grade, do lesson plans, proof a resume, work on a study guide freelancing project for the ISEE, and color my hair.

I'd weed, but it's gonna be chilly, and I think I have too much shit to do, anyway.

Liese, my friends live in the country in the Ozarks, and they have a bunch of hummingbird feeders, and those little birds are mean as hell! They do major bombing runs on competitors -- it's pretty awesome. Also, H & L will leave the porch door open sometimes, and some brave hummers (heh) have actually buzzed into the living room, looking for MOR SUGAH.

In case anyone was wondering: Yes, the Disney photos were photoshopped.

Figures.
