This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Boston Market had a line, but it was a fast-moving one with a genuinely smiling staff, all of whom had foreign accents.

Oh, flea, no. That's so wrong.

Nice, Consuela!

Ok, I've eaten all the food. I'm not seeing that tree going up tonight. Friday's good enough, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My entirely non-traditional meal is the yum. I even chose a wine that goes with it (and I know nothing of wine). I declare a win.

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

Way to go, aurelia!

We still have an hour before pie is sufficiently chilled per the recipe. It's probably perfectly fine to eat now, but I'm still pretty full anyway.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I mixed up when the family gathering that I have been invited to was, so I am alone today. saturday will trek to Ames.

I made gluten-free stuffing and had a turkey deli sandwich. Done with it.

Glad others are having a good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A very nice time was had by me and extended family, including playing Apples to Apples, which the 6 year old won fair and square. I don't even think people were throwing her points! So that was fun. Now I feel like it must be midnight, but no!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Home at last... I had a lovely time at my dad's place, but eighteen people and eight dogs (including five guest dogs) in a small space was a bit much for my poor brain.

Also, the dogs managed to steal one of the pies from the dessert table. By the time the theft was discovered, the pie plate was licked so clean you never would have known there had been a pie in there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I am ridiculously full and slightly still tipsy, and the aunt who I was worried about making racist comments didn't make any in my vicinity, so it was all good. We found out my cousin got tenure at her university (the first tenure microbiology position in 19 years, so that's huge), and I got to give my other cousin's daughter the family diamond ring that gets passed to the next oldest single woman when the current recipient gets married (I had it, obviously, and this was the first chance I've had to pass it on since the wedding). It's pretty cool -- she's the 5th generation to have this ring.

Did I mention oh my god so full? SO FULL.

And my insane husband is packing for a camping trip all weekend. Madness. Tomorrow is only supposed to get to 40, with a low of 31 -- who wants to sleep outside in that??? -- but Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be in the upper 50s, with a low of 50, so that'll be better. STILL CRAZY.
