Just now, I thought I was hallucinating: I heard a horse neigh. Turns out I wasn't hallucinating: we're having a neighborhood street fair and a couple of black cowboys (err, cowgirls--I saw mostly women with the horses) came

So can you figure out why I'm hearing it every couple weeks in my neighborhood?!

My best guess is someone's horn.

I am always agog when property goes untouched for so long. Apartments, stores, anything. Does no one notice them? It can take that long to work out you inherited something and none of the neighbours raised anything?

Well, I guess the idea of paid off property boggles me too. Hello LA!

We can compare funky crutch accessories! After I get some, that is.

Crotch accessories!!!! oh...wait.

You guys take care of yourselves! And I'm glad there are nice folks nearby to help you do that.

I got up and walked the dog and then napped because my go to market friend had slept through her alarm and was an hour late. Then I marketed the hell out of that market. Then went for a hot and not as long as I planned bike ride. Still, almost 15 miles and a couple of serious hills is better than nothing. Now, I have nothing else planned until dinner tonight. I'm drinking cherry lemonade and pelligrino and thinking I should really do some meal planning, which I never really do beyond one meal at a time plus vague ideas. But I got a ton of produce that I will need to use this week and I totally failed at lunches last week. I had to buy lunch 4 times when I usually only buy once or twice at the most. Fail!

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, ita.

Went to services this morning because it is the 60th anniversary of my FIL's bar mitzvah, and he was chanting the haftorah portion. Afterwards he took us and a bunch of his friends to lunch. We also made a trip to REI so I could get a rain jacket and Gary could get a daypack.

a day spent in bed and playing fb games. lazy and kinda perfect.

Score! My favorite farm's grape harvest started this week , so I now have a big bowlful of the really tasty Concord grapes (hopefully without bonus spiders), as well as a bunch of tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants. Also bought a pound of pricey brisket for work lunches next week and some delicious BBQ ribs for lunch today, as well as a 4 lb. bag of grilled chicken breasts for about 12 dinners.

I went in with hair past my shoulders. My head feels lighter: [link]

that is super cute.

shrift,

I said out loud: "ooh, I like that cut!"

what do y'all think about this article: "being a manager doesn't make you a leader?"

It feels like 50% of this is bs.
