geez lisah. did he hit a tree or something? sounds like someone may not have been wearing a seat belt.

lisah, that's completely awful. I'm so sorry, for both your friends and for you.

ita !, muffins are so worth the effort. You can do it! We believe in your muffin-fu!

Also, cannibal co-worker is a fake McFakey fanboy poseur.

I am, however, fine with people wearing high heels with trousers, though I personally don't do it (mostly because I just don't wear high heels).

I got into the heels-with-trousers habit a few years ago when every pantsmaker ever started making the legs incredibly long and wearing heels was lazier-easier than hemming. But I think I need to give up on heels -- my legs and feet have been grousing endlessly for the last few months, and last weekend my dad treated me to a lovely pair of moderate-height, round-toed fancy German padded-insole super-supportive comfort-lined character shoes; they felt great in the store but I'd lost all feeling in my toes by noon on the first full day of wearing them. If I can't wear those heels without agony, I'm afraid I'm just done.

Nine miles! Wow--that's great, Bon. I think the most I ever managed was around four.

Pineapple raisin carrot muffins sound delicious.

Lisah, how distressing. I'm sorry.

I got distracted by two things--my soy milk curdled (cereal is not how you want to discover that...still shuddering), and then inventory of my spice cupboard.

Luckily the muffin recipe doesn't require milk, because I'm askeered to open the last box (it's not supposed to curdle! It's soy! It's in the magic foil box! It's best before 2013!). And now I do know I have ground ginger, which I was going to omit.

So...there's that.

Shame there's spices all over my stovetop, though.

I was going to bake, but now I don't really feel like it. Partly because I bought Doritos to go with my chili, so don't need cornbread anymore. But I could still make squah bread! Eh. The squash will keep.

I have a recipe for English muffin bread I want to try, but I have a serious problem with getting off the bed today apparently.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone. I have eaten sushi and gone to see Frankenweenie, so the day's turned out pretty well so far.

did he hit a tree or something? sounds like someone may not have been wearing a seat belt.

Yeah, she hit a tree. And, yeah, I'm wondering if the girl who died, the passenger, wasn't wearing a seatbelt. It happened in a place that I think it would be hard to drive super fast. I guess.

I'm so sorry, lisah.

Mmmm, muffins.

man, how terrible lisah.

sorry I mixed up pronouns.
