sarameg, did you ever get to Salem College when you were in NC? Historic site, dating back to the 1700s. They were constantly fighting the drilling and munching of carpenter bees. Little piles of sawdust between each spindle on the historic balcony floor beneath the historic rail...
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't feel quite as much need to defend carpenter bees as honey bees.
I am baking a pie. I have no good explanation as to why, except that I had all the ingredients (well, I substituted coconut milk for milk, but it's a coconut pie, that just seems better anyway) and I am trying to use up eggs. I was looking for a recipe for something I could have lying around for quick dinners next week but somehow ended up with coconut pie.

Mm, coconut pie with coconut milk sounds amazing. ...if I didn't know better I'd say I was hormonal right now. I also just went to the store and bought cookies, chips, baklava, and gelato.

Because books.
I used a tip I read about, which was to keep the highest square in a corner.
Must remember this, and Jesse's tip. Hmmm.
Coconut pie sounds awesome. But everything feels awesome right now because we just watched The Lego Movie.

Because pie.
I am conflicted about carpenter bees. They're excellent pollinators, but they like the wood in my carport.

I made two quiches. I'm not even going to be modest; they are fucking delicious.

That does make a lot of sense.
Now I can confirm: mmm, pie.

Yeah, Jesse, I don't blame them for splitting the difference. Still, kind of exciting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Back from f2f-ing, which was fun! We walked so much I set a new daily record on my fitness app--6.4 miles. Most of that was probably in the Art Institute.
My knees and legs are sore, but ibuprofen is starting to kick in so I'm good.

It's very exciting from where I sit, erika!
Mmm, Art Institute with Buffistas, that sounds great.
