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 am the fly who dreams of the spider

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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."

She's wrong! You look totally cute.

I over cooked them a bit - I think what I thought was too, too jiggly was maybe mostly the cream that I poured over top. Really yum anyway, though. Definitely a new thing I like. Oven made it hotter still in here, but WORTH IT! Also have A/C again finally because new register installed tonight, so.

7 minutes worked for me.

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!

I meant to start doing yoga and eating better this week and instead I've gone out drinking three of four days after work.

I'll validate that.

I don't have little ramekins, so I had to do three together in a little round casserole, so it messed me up. I was hungry, which worked out well. It's also all I made. What temp did you/do you use? I did 325 as recipe said, but it also said 12 minutes for two in a single dish.

Hope your friends are good, Anne.

Now I am off to FB to find what I'm sure is a lovely picture of msbelle.

I'm feeling pretty good about doing a 3-mile circuit of the local lake tonight, since my morning walk was rained out. Well, other than getting a blister; I think I'm buying some Dr. Scholl's tomorrow.

I can't tell that the diet/exercise boost has had any effect on my weight yet, but at least it gives me lots of energy and I don't feel like I'm going to be gasping after walking for 5 minutes at the theme parks.

You've been social four times in one week - that's exercising people skills!
