I think I just had the most fabulous productive social day. Dragged ass, but market with friend and her boytoy at 8. Catsat at 9. Cleaned all I intend to clean and then swam my 2 miles. Then off to former-neighbor's housewarming. Gave them a basil plant I've been nursing along as well as chocolate mint that was grown from a cutting from my own crazyass backyard mint.
There were Lawn Olympics which petered out before done but only because people got all involved talking to each other. People from Ben's world, Joayne's, new neighbors, old neighbors, we all ended up just mixing it up. Peace Corps people, environment people, and, it turns out, space science people not just me (one of their new neighbors. We had a fun time comparing notes of who we knew.)
And in again REALLY FUCKING SMALL WORLD news, J's closest cousin, who was almost a sister to her? Turns out in her first job out of college, ended up covering my mom's family's hometown (well, it was where the g-parents retired. But nearest paper to the farm.) AND SHE TOTALLY KNEW WHO MY UNCLE, AUNT AND COUSINS WERE. She used to write up the HS and FFA events, as well as the farm reports (she'd interviewed them!) She was fascinated to hear what they were up to. Wow. Just wow.
I took all the sleep last night. Woke up to a phone call from the pharmacy to discover that is was 12:30pm. I haven't slept in that late in forever.
The rest of the day was running around. We went to the newly opened Famous Footwear (got a cute pair of high heeled sandals) and Costco. As we were loading up the car, K-Bug hit her ring against the cart and the stone popped out (it is a black star sapphire that had been my mom's). So after dropping off food we were off to our jewelry store, then Sally Beauty and the grocery store. Errands like crazy.
I made garlic mahi-mahi and parmesan couscous. So nommy!
Good god. It's Teapot Of Our Own: [link]
I find it kind of adorable.
And curse you, wee ita_!, for giving me the link. I have no brain thanks to a migraine, so I think I'm going to amuse myself by making the GCS tea blend.
I have to just say, London's Olympic's page sucks. The navigation is ass and it is a pain to look up results and athletes competing in an event.
Also, I had bonfire tonight. And smores, nicely charred. Yeah, still feeling good tonight.
I've found google to be the best page for Olympic stuff, sara. Just googling the race gave me results, upcoming times, most of what I was looking for--the NBC site and the UK sites were both getting on my nerves.
Hey--I should do another go-round for pictures and articles. I'm not sure what I'm expecting them to
say...
Jilli,
totally.
That makes way more sense than tea for a Mass Effect character (no offense intended to gamers here, but come on...)
Yeah, I've been defaulting to google because the Official Pages suck ass. Which...it really isn't that hard not to. Hell, I could figure it out and I'm a fucking novice.
Mckayla is owning the not impressed meme. [link]
I'm rather delighted how she's handled all that.
It seems to me that the tea for The Hunger Games would be hot water.
