Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, good luck with the pears, Liese. Just keep cooking it, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Right? Keep cooking it down, at some point it should have the right consistency, yes? Even if that point is tomorrow?

Yes, even if that point is tomorrow. You'll have some delicious pear butter, which is better than none, right?

Sorry about the counter, that's a real bummer.

I don't see why not! (Note: I have never made pear butter.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think I'll be able to glue it back on, but you should have heard the cussing while I tried to unscrew the food mill, which is metal...and full of hot pears...without causing more damage to the countertop or spilling scalding pears everywhere.

Yeah, there has to be an arm rest for the right arm. And a good one!

See, I'm not so concerned about a right arm rest--I may be moving my arm around, sometimes on the wheel, sometimes on the radio, sometimes grabbing a drink. It's the LEFT rest that drives me nuts--some cars just have a weird bump in the door that is not sized at all correctly, or located correctly, and is just plain uncomfortable! That drives me nuts, as I like to hold the steering wheel while resting my left elbow.

now Dillo is having a fit because he decided he doesn't like lemon cake and we must not love him

Hah. When it's HIS celebration, he can have whatever flavor he wants.

Two funfetti cupcakes sounds delicious, and I am totally an addict--I bought four on Wednesday to celebrate passing the new job's exam. The plan was two for me, two for roomie. We each had one that night. And then she meant to bring one to work the next day, because she was going straight from there to the airport for a weekend trip...and she FORGOT. So there were two cupcakes that HAD to be eaten. So now I've had one each day for the past three days and I am seriously sugar-craving. Mm, sweet sugary frosting...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't put cupcakes in my canning jars. I am putting pear butter in my canning jars.

But you're not putting cakes in all your canning jars, so you still can.

I forgot to say -

Happy Birthday, Kathy and Raq!!

One of my best buds from Baltimore has his birthday today, too. Aw.

I don't know how you people can drive and use arm rests at the same time.
