Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Garage sales -- organizing this one? All the shit I've done? I'm running for president. One term only, knocking heads together, cleaning house and straightening shit up.

The garage. Is cleaned. Over 50 boxes of crap gone through.

Now? I just get to CLEAN IT ALL, haul tables out, price everything and put some more signs up, haul everything out of the dining room, do 5 more loads of laundry, price them and haul them out, and KILL EVERYONE IN THE WORLD.

I'm feeling a little tired and hostile right now. But man, I'm getting a hell of a workout this week!

ETA: I wouldn't be so pissy if it were my shit, and I was responsible for the mess and craziness. But about 2%, MAYBE, of the stuff in this sale is mine. GRRRR ARRGGH STAB STAB STAB

You might want to kill, Erin, but just think--your garage IS CLEAN!!!! Or will be, once you have the sale.

Happiest birthdays to all of you celebrating! I donated blood and now feel tired and woozy. Or woozier than usual.

Lake effect snow blows.

At lunch they included avocado fries with my salad. Heaven!

The garage IS clean, and I will take after pic. I will I'd taken before, but hell, all you have to do is watch an episode of Hoarders to get the before pic.

Thanks, guys. I'm just taking a 15 minutes iced tea and wash hands break. Encouragement is good!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am having irritated little forays into work. Like, I needed to cut paychecks, but the checkbook is in Dave's car. In New Mexico. Where there are no National Banks of Arizona. I have the cash bag. Which he needs to put his travel receipts in. Aargh. Minor, but annoying.

Ok, back to The Pile. Another fifteen minutes, and then I can go outside and garden. And then shower. And then pick up my friend and head to the ladies' thing.

Okay, I didn't know avocado fries existed, and now I cannot be happy until I have some.

Or until I paint my nails. I'll probably be happy then.

Okay, okay, I'm working!

Liese, they are delish. Seriously delectable.

Stupid autocorrect.

Avocado fries sounds AWESOME.

You know what else sounds weird but are OMG amazing? Chickpea frites. Fried in duck fat. Had 'em at restaurant we went to for our anniversary, and they are cracktastic.
