Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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

That is some comprehensive and sweet well-wishing, JZ! I will second it.

My nod to Easter is wearing baby blue sweatpants and a bright pink top - they are both spattered with paint and stains and so excellent for yard work, etc., but I usually try to pair each with a more subdued partner if I'm going to be where people can see me (like in the front yard) but today it's thematic.

I am also wearing pretty alarming footwear, but that has nothing to do with the holiday. Flip-flops, but with four thongs so all my toes are separated. I am prepared for the shunning.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I am all decked out in a bright blue and red coat to go to Mass. First time in years we won't be having an Easter dinner, since Mom can't get into the car. So we will have lunch at the ALF with them instead.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

and even happy productive day and onerous task day for those who need one.

Thanks! I'm trying to finish up tax prep this weekend. But first I must get outside to enjoy this weather. I think I'll be walking to the grocery store even though I need more than I'd really like to carry that distance.

-t, you have found footwear that would be physically impossible for me wear.

If I ever need to loan you shoes, aurelia, they will be something else.

Good to know. :)

Is there some advantage to having more thongs? Do they flop less?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy Easter everybody!

I have found that Bill Withers can improve almost any mood. Glad to hear that mac is pulling himself together today.

The Easter Bunny hasn't come by the house yet, but perhaps while Cody and the kids are at the store he'll pop by, and we can have an egg hunt when they get home.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Those shoes would drive me nuts to wear. I hate having things between my toes. I don't even wear regular flip-flops that much -- when I need something like that, I get the kind with a strap that goes all the way across the foot.

The unpredictable drizzle is harshing on my motivation to take a walk. Or do anything.

Pumpkin just brought me the leash....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We took the kids to the playground, which was predictably full of Jews and heathens. Unfortunately, the glorious weather of yesterday has forsaken us, leaving only cold drizzle. Blah.

The heel part stays under my actual heels better, which I have trouble with regular flip flops skewing under my foot. Mostly I'm trying to train my toes to squish together a little less and these are less of a production to put on and off than the Vibram Five Fingers.
