Oh yeah, I would have done carrots if I had room in the jar. But maybe blanched them a little first -- the ones I put in beet juice stayed too hard for me.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Hey, so soliciting some home decorating opinions, which of the following clocks do you think would look best for a 15" x 30" vertical strip of pale blue-violet wall beside my kitchen cabinets? (Visible just to the right of top center here: [link]

Bonus option - it's not really a wall clock, but this is a cool abstract 3-D clock and I could put up a small block shelf to hold it: [link]

Although I can't tell the dimensions of the wall, Matt, your first choice of the Art Deco ocean liner seems to be the right shape for the space and the colours seem to pick up your other decorations.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I love each of the first three, and the last one, Matt.

I think whatever-is-good-enough-for-today is totally going to need to be your mantra, Burrell. Definitely make me-time part of that.
I have swam, coaxed special-needs kitty through all his food, fed cats 2 doors down, fed mine, done my nails. And now it is almost 10. Tomorrow, morning run to special-kitty house, the usual, kitty evening, laundry and vacuuming. I've offloaded the cats 2 doors down, Thurs, hairdyeing and packing. Possibly more catsitting. She expects to come home Thurs morning at the latest, but if they keep her to friday, I have an emergency plan.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Art deco ocean liner for sure.
