"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Then we went to get driver's licenses because my husband didn't believe me when I said the cars had to be registered first.

Wait, you can't get a driver's license there unless you already own a street legal car? That seems ass backwards.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

It's going to be passing a little north of me, from what the news is saying. Still, staying withing dashing distance of basement w/ flashlight in hand.

What's worrying is that it's passing directly over where some good friends of mine live.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go to the basement, Anne! Or whatever your best equivalent is. (Edit: That was a crosspost -- sounds like you are doing the right thing.)

I feel SO GOOD about myself, you guys! Every night this week, I've meant to do something after work and gotten stuck to the sofa. And now I have an avocado! Among other things.

Guess who's having shirred ita-&-Ginger-font for dinner?

Solidarity!

Avocado self-affirmation!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Fingers crossed that my experimental flower arrangements look better in the morning. I've been using Soil Moist to suspend flowers within the vases, and some of them look awesoe, and some turned milky, and I don't know if it's because I overworked the silica crystals, or added too much water clarifier . . . it's supposed to be a riff on ice sculptures with flowers in them, and I only have tomorrow to fix it, yikes!

My feet hurt from standing on concrete floors all day, and I have to be back in at 9 tomorrow, and won't be done until midnight at the earliest with gala duties. ::whimpers::

I can only find one of my shoes that goes with my outfit, might end up having to do shoe shopping tomorrow in between the morning and evening shifts, and hope to heck I can find something comfortable within walking distance of work.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I guess running the A/C with a window open is crazytown bananapants?

Maybe, but I do it all the time. My upper floor gets too hot to not have the a/c on, but I like to have a window open a bit. I'll close them during the hottest part of the day, though.

for everyone "liking" my pic on fb - here is what my mother just wrote me "Look like you've been hit and have black eyes. Not your best picture."

OMG we have the same mother! My 6 year old let me cut his hair before my mother came to visit (she is here now) because it makes him feel bad when she criticizes his hair.

I always have at least one window cracked, A/C or no. But that's for cat and occasional house-fan reasons. It's my one extravegance. The joy of getting to turn the heat off in the apartment is not having to play door-opener for the cats.

Speaking of: neighbors have a bunch of kids over. I'm sitting here when my storm door starts making funny sounds that don't match up with Nunya trying to get in the people way. Next thing I know a little boy is opening up my door and I'm all "HEY!" and he's frozen stiff. Kid was terrified, and I booted him as gently as I could and then texted neighbor about wandering middle-schoolers.

Really, I have to lock my door now when I'm home? Maybe I should get a sign at the bottom of my steps that says "Beware, Vicious Cats" or something.

She's wrong! You look totally cute.
