I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have fun playing with the numbers with couponing. Plus, free/cheap stuff. (Though right now it's annoying me, because I figured out a really great deal on sunscreen, but it requires buying two specific types of sunscreen in the same purchase at Rite Aid, and of the two Rite Aids I usually go to, each one carries one of those types, but neither carries both.)

Either I got paint up my nose- unlikely (I experimentally painted a few spindles last night) or something started blooming that smells really ammonia-y. Yech.

I saw WILD alligators yesterday, fulfilling my modest ambition for touristing. I mean, it's easy to see them in a zoo, but in their natural environment is another thing entire.

Another thing that SC has is fox squirrels, which look like the illicit love children of squirrels and raccoons. [link]

They're all over the grounds of Brookgreen Gardens, which I've been spending major time at.

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

Yay Theo!

I am awake way too early, on my way to the airport. But I did wake up and everything, so here's hoping I didn't forget something crucial.

People who roast vegetables: any tips for roasting broccoli? I've never roasted it before, although I've got cauliflower and Brussels sprouts down pat. (I am making broccoli tonight with the cauliflower, because Tim has rebelled and said no more Brussels sprouts for him. Since he is a grown-ass adult and apparently I am NOT the boss of him, I agreed to roast something else.)

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

I usually throw it in 10-15 mins after the cauliflower, and it will look a little blackened anyway. But crispy and yum nonetheless.

Olive oil, salt, garlic? Or is there something better for broccoli? (I put olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika on the cauliflower, and could eat it ALL, every day.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't understand not using moisturizer. My face feels dry just thinking about it!

Seriously. I'm currently using cheap-ass heavy duty Pond's and loving it. Although maybe I don't need quite so much moisturizing for the the summer.

Man, now that it's gotten warmer, my face is all "Moisturizer? GTFO!" and I have to remind it that it's as old as the rest of me, and the wrinkles aren't going away.
