On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I think everyone needs a park ranger friend. So awesome, Kat.

Stomach bugs on the eastcoast, less so.

Y'all, I think I have a stain. A little less honey than I'd like, but if I get a honeyed sealer (which I will, for dual use on the stairs)...About time, I'm running out of it! Rustoleum american walnut, which means nothing. Color words are useless.

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

I just noticed I got my tax refunds! Time to start looking at love seats.

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

Wow Kat, what a wonderful vacation. Sounds ideal

And sarameg, you are so inspiring with your house stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.

I've been thinking about gardening, so I googled gardening 101. It said to start with testing your soil and then digging it all up......and that just seems like a lot.

AHHAHAH.

More like...stick something in the ground. Does it die or not??

My local public radio is apparently off air. Static is not an effective alarm clock (and I won't listen to my internal one, it says I wake up at 4:45. On sunday. No.)

Uhg, gotta get moving.

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

That's as close to gardening as I'll ever get.

That was sort of what I was hoping for. I do think there will be a lot of digging regardless, since the (10x10) back yard has basically been wild for years.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Jesse, let me put in a quick plug for Jennifer Convertible, which really was one of the more comfortable sofas that I've sat (and later slept) on. My very picky aunt, who also has a small oodle of money, bought two after sitting on my Mom's new sofa.

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

Timelies all!

Weather here continues to be weird. Nice and sunny yesterday, but they're predicting some sort of snow/rain mix tonight into tomorrow. Hope the hyacynths don't die.
