I've already spent the refund.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Me too, Connie.

I already did the taxes and got the refund (yay), but am v. lazy and need someone who will come hang out in my room while I clean it. Y'know, to keep me on task and entertained. Anyone? Anyone? Magic transporter beam?
Instead I have slept in a lot, caught up on the internet, and finally showered and dressed and found my roommate still home in pajamas and convinced her to come to brunch with me. Nom, brunch. The difficulty will be in coming home and not going into a food coma.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, there will be no refund. Thus the delaying.
(eta: However, it looks like the payment will be lower this year. OTOH, this is because our income was lower this year. So.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Citrus trees sound awesome! What'll go into the planter?
I went out and bought ALL THE GARDENING things, so now I know the answer to this!
In addition to a dwarf Lisbon lemon tree and a dwarf Mexican Lime, (and the compost to add to the dirt), I bought two planters, plus Nastrium seeds for one and foxglove plants for the other. I already have a smaller one with geraniums in it.
Now all I have to do is go dig holes (I also bought a shovel) and plant stuff.

Yeah my taxes are done but not feeling very victorious.

Well, from internettig around, I've decided that at some point I'm going to go to the Adventure Aquarium in NJ and the Drexel (?) Academy of Natural Sciences... but earlier in the day. I have defaulted to movie. Not that there's a ton out I want to see at either place near me, but I like Steve Carrel, so magicians it is, I guess.

For my part, apparently my accomplishment for the day will be showering...and that's going to happen any minute.

I am trying to do taxes. Technology is thwarting me, though. Sigh.
Plei, is Lilly back to being Lilly, or still Lillian? Matilda may want to make her a card, and she'll want to get it exactly right.
Oh, she's always been Lilly. I'm the only one who ever calls her Lillian.
