'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Did I mention my brother, SiL and niece are visiting next Monday? He didn't tell me until yesterday, which I suppose is grounds for complaint, but it will be extra-nice to have them to show around/spend time with.

(They're staying in a Cambridge B&B, so it's not a surprise houseguest visit at least!)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I want a pedicure too, Kat. I keep forgetting to take the time to give myself one. Oh, and Kat, I have clothes for the kids. We just went through their drawers as both kids are growing like weeds these days, esp Isaac.

Which reminds me, I need to do back-to-school shopping next week. School is starting so early, I can't believe summer is almost over.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I got up earlyish this morning so I could take my car to the dealership and have them check out the very loud squealing noise my brakes have been making (as in, loud enough that other people have mentioned it), but they convinced me it was normal (they even had literature about it), so I just left (after a free car wash, which my car really needed).

I think I shall use the time I expected to be waiting at the dealership for going back to bed

Seriously intense pedicure today. ALways true when you get this particular woman. It was awesome.

Gotta decide what to do next. Must let the other half of the sandwich settle. Maybe cuddle the cats. Swim little later. Then maybe more errands and/or cleaning....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went to Trader Joe's, at least, so that was a walk. Massage later, now laundry. I was in my apartment for two days and STILL didn't do laundry!

Punishingly Intricate

I marketed the heck out of the market--lots of tomatoes, corn, plums! I love summer produce!

I should do some work and I'm meeting a friend at 2 and then have a mani/pedi scheduled for later this afternoon but really I want a little nap.

Today's lunchtime lesson: white shirts and pickled beets don't mix! I put on a purple shirt next.

Also, TJ's Apocryphal Pita is apparently apocryphal in that you can't actually use it for a sandwich. Bread salad!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse, I don't think you're taking the right lesson from lunch: NO BEETS.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't managed to take time for a pedicure lately. My toes are sad.

Stopping at Falling Waters on the way back tomorrow because architecture.

Nice! I visited a couple times when I lived in Pittsburgh. Loved it. Enjoy.
