Oh, msbelle. Sympathies.

Bright orange, teal, and navy? The mind reels.

Everything that the dishwasher can wash for me is cleaned. It'll be handwashing time pretty soon.

Oh mac.

I am in the depths of the winter doldrums. Which are making me extremely grumpy. I was looking at last minute vacations to warm places last night, even though I cannot afford them.

I would send you some of our lovely weather if I could figure out how, Sue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is there a good place for overall last minute vacations? For the right price, I don't need to pick where!

....I was doing the same thing.

Thanks -t. Right now I have a very cuddly kitty to keep me company.

I don't know if there's a good place, Jesse. I was just googling.

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

Maybe groupon or living social?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just got back from dinner. Very good, except that the restaurant stopped having a free shuttle and we had take a cab both ways. Getting a cab at the hotel wasn't hard, but getting one at the restaurant was a little tricky.

I just remembered TravelZoo.

Glassware and crystal all washed (except the wine glass currently in use, of course). Sharp things soaking.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Met a strange lady at the store asking for a jump. She then asked, as I was popping her hood, for a young gentleman leaving the store to help. WTF lady? I'm already helping you! When I saw that her battery was normal and not some weird hybrid mystery, I confidently told him to shoo (he obviously didn't really want to be there/know what he was doing, but also didn't want to be rude to an old lady). Her car started up right away and we let it run connected for a few minutes with our windows down. It was a mystery as to why the battery died in the parking lot, and I started to get a vibe that she was just lonely and had faked the battery dying (it's not like I asked her to try to start it before attaching the cables), and kind of explains why she tried to rope in another person.

I've seen her at the store before, noticing her because she blares her horn and the clerk comes out with a bag for her (she has handicap stickers) and calls herself disabled, although she seemed perfectly spry walking to the hood of her car.

I feel kind of bad if she's setting things up for human interaction because she's that lonely, if that's actually the case. But also, we didn't have any meaningful contact or conversation, and that makes me kind of mad that she's manipulating everyone around her.
