Lee, when I first read about that earlier today, I thought you meant the other driver had gotten out of the car and run into a building, and I was like "Well, that's just silly, won't they find him?". Then I realized what you meant.

I am making lemon tarts for a baby shower tomorrow. I am using mini tart pans for the first time, and the tart shells are rather...irregular in shape.

Tartlets...tartlets...the word has lost all meaning...

Went dancing. Am v sore, but it was great--super crowded with old and new folks!

Timelies all!

Planning to take some stuff to the dump. Whee.

Teppy, I met another of Tim's relatives at work yesterday, a young teen named Louis and his parents. Louis is Chloe's cousin - their dads are brothers. #they'reeverywhere

They ARE everywhere! Did you tell them you knew us, or was there no non-awkward way to do that? In any case, the parents own the company Tim works for. And we should be seeing them later today. (Also, their family has really good DNA, because it's creepy how much Doug [Louis's dad] and Lou [Chloe's dad] look alike. They're all that way.)

I talked about Casper knowing Chloe, because that's easier to explain (and it turns out Louis attended the kids' school for a year, so we gossiped about the teachers.)

Doug, like Lou, is unbelievably gregarious. They're the nicest family in the world.

Yikes, Lee, I'm glad you're okay!

I'm lost in the wilds of Home Depot kitchen planning. Someone take the hand-scraped faux-distressed bamboo flooring away from me...

But bamboo flooring is an excellent choice. Durable, beautiful, and sustainable! (Memories of searching for flooring come rushing back...*twitch*)

After careful self-experimentation, I've determined that prescription diuretics make my feet and hands swell and give me neuropathic pain in my feet. Having discontinued them, the swelling has gone away, I can walk again, and the pain is receding away from my knees and out through my toes, leaving the way it came in. They also gave me horrible acid reflux, which is also gone now. I can't wait to tell my doctor that the diuretic worked in exactly the opposite way it was supposed to. He already thinks I'm an alien.

I am doing absolutely nothing today. Well, ok, I went to market, will do a quick run to buy my friend beer, swim and then go to his house for dinner, but other than that, I am parking on the couch. The weather is demotivational.

Tartlets...tartlets...the word has lost all meaning...

I am always so disappointed when other people don't say that!

But bamboo flooring is an excellent choice. Durable, beautiful, and sustainable!

Man, my parents' bamboo floor looks like crap now. The finish is scraped up, I think, so you can't get it super clean-looking.
