I think she's never seen her gay "best" friend's dates is because they're afraid to bring around evidence of their gayness.

So that means you would be even more virtuous if you started making your own ice cream?

OMG yes. Especially if I used the CSA peaches! Which would also be delicious. And reminds me I have baking to do....

OMG, I have internets back! It is hard to be excited about this to other New Orleanians, especially those who still don't have power, but I am indeed SUPER EXCITED.

I have just completely reorganized one corner of my apartment. I had a dining area we never ate at. It has been a pile-it area. So, we emptied the cabinets, moved them and the table into the garage. I still need to move the chairs. We then moved the extra sofa and a big bookcase into the spot. Both have been in the garage, awaiting sale and it was killing me to sell a bookcase. So now we have a "quiet corner". I'm still shifting stuff into the bookcase, but so far so good. By the end of the weekend it will be all sorted and I'll have a new pile to donate. Then I just need to sell the cabinets along with the cabinet that has our TV (they are a set). Still trying to decide if I want to keep the table and chairs - depends on how much room that take up in the garage. I want to park my car in there - winter is coming.

YAY Nora!

Trying to decide if I'm going out tonight. Got an invite from friends of a friend. It'd be good for me, but last night was late and I've got to wait for this load of laundry to finish, which I started before I got the invite. We'll see.

ION, I swam 2&1/4 miles today, 81 laps. Well, I did 82 cause my count was off apparently, but that's further than I've done in one go before(normal saturday is 2 miles at 72.) Not great times, but not my worst either. Suspect I might pay tomorrow.

Noisy storm coming in from the west. I thought it was the Grand Prix, but no, that's the other noise....

I made it out for brief errands. I'm really glad this is a long weekend, because by the time I got my day back, everything was off, and I wasn't up to anything other than picking up that one prescription before they unbottled it, and grabbing bread.

Try again tomorrow...

IO9 has an article about sff characters who found success after dropping out of school. If they count the Scoobs as successful, did they leave Dean Winchester out just to taunt me?

Very plausible.

Our town is nuts right now. In addition to the normal "people coming up from the valley for Labor Day" traffic, there's a rodeo and fair down on the reservation, symphony in the park in the major town, and the corn festival in the town to the north. It is basically insane trying to go anywhere or do anything.

The H and I are celebrating this long weekend by both having bad colds. So far, we've slept late, got breakfast, grocery shopped and slounged around in a sickly fashion. based on you guys, I just ordered the top-opening litterbox, though!
