Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

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

Elementary got picked up for a 3rd season, according to Tumblr.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

JZ, those are the best!

We had a more up and down conference with Franny's teacher. Bottom line, teacher thinks she's fabulous, as do we, but Franny has been checking out during class and falling behind in her work. le sigh. I will always always question if I did the right thing by her by not holding her back in school.

The status is NOT quo.

Kat, do you have a Wii? We have an extra Fit thingy. We sold the Wii to Stephanie, but she already had a Fit so we didn't send that. If you want it, it's yours. And I think we mailed the game with the Wii, but since it was a duplicate, Stephanie and fam may be willing to send it to you.

Burrell, when would she have been held back?

JZ, those are awesome--mealworms?? ew.

I had a latke sandwich (with pastrami made by the food truck guys), and a cider flight, with my friend (saffron cider, raspberry cider, citrus mead, and ginger cider--the citrus mead was best, though would've been better with a little club soda or something, it was just a touch too strong/sweet, the raspberry was nicely tart, the other two were just OK), and then we got more cider (I got some marion berry stuff, he got cherry cider) and we came back to my place and talked. Yay, catching up with a friend who I hadn't seen in a while.

Should I buy this cardigan? I really really like the style, and put myself on the "tell me when it's back in stock!" list, but the reviews say it's (a) dry clean only and (b) pills easily, plus it's $55, which seems like a lot. But I really like how it looks. Dilemma!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Meara, the cider flight sounds lovely!

I don't buy much dry clean only, but I will occasionally splash out on things like a nice, dark sweater. I have a silk-blend one that I only have to get cleaned a couple of times a year that I wear all the time in chilly weather. Since it's an outer layer for fall and winter it doesnt pick up much body stink, and the dark gray doesn't show random smudges.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that sweater does look good though.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Am moving into the panic stage. I'm still waiting to confirm a couple of things prior to submitting an offer and in the meantime am wavering between "this is totally doable!" and "OMG what are you thinking?!?"

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

Cabin! Woo! (or not, you know, I don't know your finances and whatnot but I'm fairly sure there's no need to panic)

I like that sweater! I do the chemical sheets in a bag in the dryer thing for dry clean only stuff a lot, and it seems to do okay, fwtw.

Ooh, park ranger in Yosemite is a sweet gig. Enjoy the cabin, Kat!

I went with my mom to Nordstrom Rack last night, we've been trying to get there since it opened last fall and yesterday we could, I might still be in shopping mode...

Our wings are not tired.

Deep breaths, brenda. (plans visit)
