Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There were a =lot= of people at the Open sing last night, including some newbies. Guess that's to be expected with the Pete Seeger theme.

Tonight there's the Harmony Sweepstakes regionals.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Damn it, the first one has gone under contract since yesterday. Oh well, mr. flea pointed out that he lived across the street with his girlfriend one summer in college, and that would have been weird.

That's right up the street from my old apartment -- I'm pretty sure you were there one time when you visited. Maybe with Ellen S., too?

The one on Observatory looks amazing. But I really like Oakley, too, and Drake Ave. is pretty nice.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, I love that cabin!

I also love both the potential flea homes. Those porches! Go you with the great credit, flea!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want to be outside gardening, but Charlie fell asleep with his head in my lap, and he is too cute to wake up. It is a dilemma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is so beautiful outside here! But all I have done this morning is watch Looking. Ah well.

Because books.

Don't forget we spring forward tonight.

I feel like I bought All The Things today. Just lots of stops. But $5 20" throw pillows in shantung silk (red and purple) at Bloodbath! Except I needed one 18". Whoops. Still, can always use pillows, and these are down filled.

I need to vacuum and mop but it is so nice, I think I'll wash the car instead and put the rest off to tomorrow. Maybe pick up a bit today, have 2 boxes of magazines (I know) to put into recycling. If I haven't read them yet....After I cuddle with the cats. Then swim and probably join my friends for dinner. Probably won't go to the show after, though. It's too loud to talk in that space.

For my first foray into the world of the iSi Termo Whip, I have charged up a siphon of cream. So far so good.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh, I love both of those houses, particularly the last one. And the cabin! The cabin is adorbs and I could totally spend a lot of time there. I mean, you. You could totally spend a lot of time there.

Okay, so I have to say this here where all my conservative buddies, including my husband, won't give me a hard time about it. But yay, I just enrolled in Obamacare! It is $111 more expensive, even with the subsidy. But it is so much better coverage I can't even tell you. We went with one of the HSA plans, so it still has a huge deductible, but it's 100% after the deductible. Yay for no longer having the potential for medical bankruptcy! My regular day-to-day medical expenses will go up. But not by a ton, and it's no longer just a catastrophic plan. AND I have maternity coverage for the first time in my life. Not that it's likely to matter in any way, but it will be very strange to have it available.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yay, Liese!

For everyone's information, I pinged Matt TBF on FB, and he's fine. He's been spending time at his parents' house, where they don't have internet.
