Happy to report that my experimental stir fry tonight turned out much better than expected (or indicated by scent). A co-worker brought in a bunch of fresh basil from her garden, so I took a few big leaves of that home, mixed a pot of sliced onion, bell peppers, and about a pound of chicken strips, and seasoned with thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, cinnamon, and shredded basil. I guess the sweet from the chili sauce and honey doesn't get reflected in the aroma, because the bitter smell made me think it was a disaster until I tasted.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Everyone here is both hot and beautiful, as evidenced by the ruffly skirts and acquaintances lopping decades off your ages, and the BIDs can shut it.
Damn. Let down once again by my dearth of ruffly skirts.
Our newest co-worker didn't believe me today when I said I'd be 42 in 10 days.
That reminds me, Biyi is a June baby too. She turned 40 last week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pop song with a phone number?
This one.
ION, I reconceptualized my entry for the Deviled Egg Pageant, continuing my real theme of Using Things I Already Have, I am going with a Caribbean theme -- spicy curry with some coconut for the eggs, and Sorrel for the beverage. I like it!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I... still don't get it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Well, I managed to avoid the worst of the weather getting home. Our yard has some branches in it, but not large chunks of tree, which I've seen elsewhere. Unfortunately, we have no power, which is why we are sitting in a Barnes and Noble, using the wi-fi.
Still need to pack, as we are heading to my folks' place for their 50th anniversary party this weekend. Sigh...

JZ, there's a line on the second page of the judgement (not the part where the first couple pages are summarizing) and they're saying something about stickers on trucks which you're probably familiar with ("How's my driving? Call 202-867-5309"). And the number they chose to use is of course, the Jenny number.

Sheryl, be sure to take back-up cameras to the big event. I forgot my Flip for my folks' 50th, and ended up depending on a disposable camera that only had three horrible unlit photos of the proceedings turn out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ahem...
Oh yeah, and pics of me preggers! Which DH would love to have again. (Just the pics, not me preggers I HOPE!!)
As for the issue of exercise as stress relief, I've gotten to that point although I don't think it's my natural state. It has taken a few years of exercise-as-slog for me to develop the excercise-as-relief reaction. And not all exercise is destressing for me. Stretching is because it releases lots of GABA, whereas strength training is just tiring but feels worth it later.
