Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I KNEW Jesse was feeling me on that.

I think part of my new aerobic routine might be breaking down the dancing of my fave 90s hip hop videos.

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

Dammit, I didn't remember until I got home that I'm out of dry cat food. I really don't want to go out again. This fucking day, man. I didn't take a lunch and stayed an extra hour, partially because my boss wanted to teach me something which, granted, is in fact useful but not applicable to the urgent thing I was working on that needed to be finished today. And I haven't eaten enough so everything is disproportionately upsetting. Argh.

OK, I went and got some goddamn catfood.

Actually, I feel better since I had two snacks. But really, someone else should talk so I don't keep whining about my non-problems.

Because books.

I can't talk. I've been sucked into a Teen Wolf marathon on MTV and I can't get out.

I stained the top rail : [link] (color is not representative. See some of the other photos for better, if not accurate, representation.)

Looks nice, sarameg.

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

Impressive, sarameg!

Here's a closeup from a flash camera: [link] Still not accurate (it is more brown than that) but you can see the grain! It was important to me to not lose that- uncovering it was a revelation. It may be lowly pine, but it is purty.

Our wings are not tired.

Commiserating with all of you today!

Erika, I feel your pain so to speak. Made yummy veggie chili, which I have eaten for several days, plus the hummus and curried cauliflower wrap I made for dinner. Anyway, that a whole lotta beans, y'all.

meara, grrrr, that is frustrating.

Juliebird, the city/county/whatever doesn't provide the bins? Whenever mine get ucky or busted up I just call or request new ones on line and they drop them off. Maybe I am spoiled here.

Go internet tech lisah! (I knew you had it in you!) Rah rah!

Now I love cabbage soup well enough, but not exclusively. I do have a recipe for caramelized cabbage with pasta and peas I have been looking to try someday soon that looked yummy.

-t, that sounds like a not fun day. I hope tomorrow is much smoother.

Wow sarameg, that looks great. I can appreciate the effort after having gone through stripping and staining our kitchen cabinets. Some of them really didn't want to take the stain well.

I like pine. And that seems like a pretty color.

OK, caught up on The Good Wife. My goodness.
