I swear I'm putting a clause in my will that the next homeowner (I'm never moving again) CANNOT PAINT OVER THE BANNISTER. Other than that, I'm trying to do it right, but someday, someone won't love my vintage lavender and green bathroom.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

The pie was brought to my friend's BBQ and pronounced yummy. The BBQ was exciting because he cooked a whole pig. There was so much food leftover even though a lot of people came. Apparently last year they did it for the first time and got a 75 pound pig and only had about 20 people, and made everyone take home pounds of meat. This year they only got a 38 pound pig? And I think like half of it was left!!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That is hardcore, meara. Dang. I'm jelly.

It's pretty impressive--he had this whole box that the pig roasts in that he had gotten, but then he'd also rigged it up, because the coals roast on top of the box/pig, and he was sad at the "wasted' heat, so he put boards on the side pointing up and skewers through the boards so he could also roast three chickens above the coals! And people brought lots of side dishes and ice cream and it was good times, and I am very very sad they are moving to New Jersey. BOO. (for good reason--I know them from college, and they moved here because she works at Amazon and he was finishing his dissertation, and he was applying for jobs, and now is going to start a tenure-track job at Princeton. Can't turn that down!)
Also I found out you can get Jeni's ice cream here at one of the shmancy supermarkets I never go to. I may need to go to there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a hell of a BBQ!
I slept so much last night! It was amazing. Now I'm going to spend most of the day on the couch. Perfect.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds so great, meara!
I woke up with a headache and might just write today off. Breakfast seems like an awful lot of trouble.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Quiet day here.

Our wings are not tired.
Was up early. Ready for nap. We are having a big surprise b'day thing for my MIL's 70th tonight. I should nap so I can stay awake later.

Already way behind on the day. Getting off the couch would be a good start, but no sign of that happening yet.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hoping our heat wave breaks this week. Can't justify the cost and hassle of AC when we only need it about two weeks of the year. Getting through those weeks isn't fun, though.
Has anybody heard from ita?
