But not with the mint, because I hate mint. Maybe ginger instead.

My sister in mint hatage! Ginger sounds amazing. Ginger and lime are two of my favorite flavors. I will make ginger syrup and use it to sweeten limeade. (or make vodka gimlets with ginger syrup, whichever)

The honey/lime/ginger was an excellent combo, mixed with quinoa, cherries, strawberries, and blueberries. I would never have thought to mix quinoa with fruit, but it is damn good.

Dude, why isn't Falling Skies a better show? Pfeh.

I enjoyed this week's episode more than most. Whether that was because it was actually better or because I watched it with half an eye while folding laundry I couldn't tell you.

Had a gimlet, no ginger syrup but quite tasty. So, thanks for that, Natter.

I mean, seriously. I has a type. I seriously has a type. And that is way more specific than what genitalia they might have. That said, if I met and befriended someone awesome who happened to not have my normally-preferred genitalia, or some variation thereof, or whatever, and I was suddenly all "OMG, want in your pants"? I'd get over the "type".

This right here, in a nutshell, is why I adore meara, and why I think knowing her makes me (and all of us, really) a better person. Or makes me try harder to be better. Or both.

(OK, I flirt with a couch. But you know what I mean).

Or maybe it's this.

I am awake because Ellie has some stomach bug. Basically, she wakes up from sleep, pukes, we clean up, and then back to sleep. Except that I can't fall asleep that fast and I'm afraid I feel my stomach getting tight. My mom had this two days ago and actually passed out while puking and woke up on the floor.

I killed the thread so early in the mornIng...

Poor Ellie. I've never seen anyone this sick. Hopefully, it runs it's course soon.

Oh, Stephanie, that's so miserable.

The good thing for me about being awake at 5:30 is that I can watch Wimbledon.

The bad thing: why the fuck am I awake at 5:30?

Poor Ellie! I hope against hope you aren't getting it too, Stephanie.

It is grey and rainy (although not currently raining) here, and I think I'm going to take this opportunity to not leave the house today. I need to clean and do a load of laundry, but that can wait. It's good, because most of my out-of-the-house to-do items are impossible to do today because of the holiday.

The meat is right there in the name! This is not hard, people.
