"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

data point for ita: I drive stick, as does K. We aren't circumsised, though our son is, which is odd for a preemie, I learned.

I won a quilt in a raffle (yay!) and picked it up today. Noah and I spent time with Grandma and Pops (what Noah has decided to call my father which I adore) today but my parents vision of time is different than mine and my kids are wiped out by 5:30.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Smonster, we took to bed already on the theory it would be easier to do the whole pre-bed routine with lights. But I'm chilling here with the kindle. Literally chilling, as I put the A/C waaay down (to 70) to get the house as cold as possible before power cut.

Hec, I thought of you while watching Double Deuce. "This baby knows what I'm talking about."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I might be on a dietary plan of depravity, by some standards, anyway. All the souffles, custards and dumplings I can eat, basically.

I could handle a plan of gustatory depravity. Bring it on!

If my wacky gluten allergy really HAS gone away, I have an elaborate meal planned at the fancy FANCY Cajun/Creole restaurant.

(I can't remember: did I tell you people that I have stopped taking all the antibiotics I was on? There were some symptoms I was having that made me decide that ANYTHING was better than the abx. It's been about 6 weeks, and whoo, having energy again is nice. In 2 weeks I get to try a real bread product and see if my neck welts up.)

Who has suggestions of awesome places to see/shop at/eat at in Portland, OR? It has been decided upon as the last-minute replacement for New Orleans. Not quite as exciting, but easy to get to. And tax-free shopping!

Powells. World's greatest (well biggest) bookstore.

If you are there on a Saturday, take the Max and get off at the Saturday Market. If you like Elephant Ears, the Saturday Market has the best. Anyway, great fair food, lots of crafts, a fun downscale atmosphere.

Portland also has great food carts these days. Also, has some really good Pho places if you are in to to Pho though I can't be specific.

Wow, Jilli, hope that works out well for you!

Oh and a question for German speakers. Totentanz as I remember is German for "Dance of the Dead". Am I correct? So what would the German be for "Dance of the Free?"

Thanks

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, I thought of you while watching Double Deuce. "This baby knows what I'm talking about."

Emmett and I quote that episode ALL THE TIME. I might have to get him a silver tipped badger fur shaving brush just because of it.

"Baby...You're pear-shaped."

Also: "That's a lot of scalps!"

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Fingers crossed, Jilli.

Literally chilling, as I put the A/C waaay down (to 70) to get the house as cold as possible before power cut.

I'm doing this, too. I may have to wear long sleeves until the power cuts off.

Yeah, time to relocate to bed. Frankie's been there for hours.

Banana muffins - going to bed now. If I lose power overnight, will update every few hours via facebook, most likely (assuming the cell towers hold out). I know not everyone here is there, but I know some of you are and can repost here.
