You're a good friend, Zen.
And I just remembered where the pot roast notion actually came from -- the week-old half bottle of red wine on my counter.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Flea you made the right call, I think. More houses are coming on the market next month.

Punishingly Intricate
I'm not a cross-country ski person, but I think there's the Kal-Haven Trail,
We've ridden bikes on the Kal-Haven Trail! I bet it would be good for cross-country skiing.
I got my hair cut and came home and my tummy wasn't feeling well so I sent Bob out to have dinner on his own. I had an english muffin with peanut butter. Now I'm hungry for real! I want pot roast and buffalo chicken dip and empanadas. None of those things are here.

Right? Don't all of those sound delicious?

I would also like all those things. But I just FINALLY went and worked out (I got up at about 9AM. Ate some breakfast, and thought "I should go work out now"....and didn't leave the house until 5:45PM to do so. But I AM caught up on Scandal now?)
My plan is to go over to Trader Joe's and buy something. Though I should just cook up a piece of fish and some veggies from my freezer. I'm supposed to go to a party later, so I need to go buy a six pack anyway.
More houses will be around, flea! I have faith.

I'm catching up on Scandal, now! Well, watching the episode from two weeks ago now, we'll see how I proceed from here, got a lot of backlog on the DVR.
And I've been starving all day. And eating all day because of it, but then getting hungry again seems like too soon after I eat. Weird.

I'm not super thrilled by the last few weeks of Scandal, honestly. I do kinda love Mellie a lot, always, but everyone else is just too annoying or complex or bizarro or conflicted to entertain me appropriately. Though apparently next week we get to see the presidential children?? mysterious...

I finished the first season of FNL, and immediately got spoiled for later events by Parks & Rec! Or, more accurately, reminded, because I did watch some late-season eps at the time, but I had forgotten!

That's pretty funny, Jesse.
I'm not too enthralled by two-weeks-ago Scandal*, but I'm kinda surprisingly into Grey's again. I suspect this is just how it goes for me and Shonda - sometimes I'm glued to her shows and sometimes I'm just meh, but if I keep watching I'll probably get interested again.
ETA: *Although Mellie and whatshisname making out in front of the First Ladies' portraits was kind of awesome

First five photos here show what I decided to embark on a little after 9 tonight: [link]
Color in the photos isn't true. I'm very happy with the result. The flash picks up the places the stain didn't take like whoa, but it is less obvious in reality. Still, there will be measures taken. I was surprised, actually, at where it didn't take. There was paint soaked so deep into the grain, nothing could get it. That was fine. Random dings and other just weird spots. I'll be using a tinted varnish (and possibly sharpie/paint) on the stubborn bits.
PRO-FUCKING-GRESS.
And it wasn't even that big a deal. Now, I'll have plenty of paint to touch up after this (though it was amazingly unmessy,) but hey, I'll need a new project, right?
