Oooh, I wonder if there are strawberries at our local farmers' market yet. I'd be really surprised if there were, but we were planning on going there tomorrow anyway ...

le nubian, your answer seems clear. Sometimes putting the words down does that.
Did you get the asparagus from the hippy/redneck/Viking guys sort of at the top of the T, lisah? I swear, their skinny asparagus is the best of all the vendors. Plus, they are such characters! Once they come in, I've also found their strawberries really good.
I also had asparagus for dinner. Browned garlic in a little olive oil, let the asparagus just start to brown on high heat, dumped a tiny bit of water in and let steam to the perfect crispness.
Alas, that was all I had for dinner as I don't dare try anything else. I can deal with straight up veggies. Anything else is off the list. My intestines were in full inexplicable revolt today. Nothing disgusting, except how I felt. As if I were digesting steel wool. Could be a variety of things, but I'm not putting anything more in me tonight.
Doneness check: market, pedicure, Target for cat stuff and travel crap, cleaning, laundry, swim, manicure, dinner. And now I need to get a bin for Pumpkin's food because Loki ripped the new bag open while I was cleaning. WHY, CAT.
Tomorrow: TJs for the week and plane snacks, Bloodbath for more soda mix, possibly look at shoes (don't even) and anything else I can think of, swim, hairdying, prelim packing list and attendant freakout.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congrats on the new job le n! Esp as it seems new job is the way to go.
So full. We had chilaquiles for dinner as I am so prone to fall into a habit when it comes to food, and the kids will always eat it. Since Franny is having a sleepover, we'll probably go out for ice cream in a little bit. So much for full, eh?

No, from the spendy greens people. It was delicious! As were the strawberries. And, man, the chicken was out of control.

the Boomers are finally going to get out of the way.
We'll try to die off with all due speed and stop bothering you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Meh; I'm just glad my peers are in charge of pop culture.

Well thanks so much for Jersey Shore.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Congrats on the new offer, Le N! I think the fact that your current co-workers will be asinine is a good indication you should leave.
