So, Tep: my 71 tabs are a lot of Cap fic I intend to read, a buttload of fail-fandomanon threads, historic research info re: houses my husband's grandmother lived in as a kid, expat threads on Macau for fic research purposes, Facebook, here, and right now, that's about it.

I only let mobile routinely add up like this. It has been months since I had fewer than 60 tabs on there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Slice in half. Cook them in a pan with a bit of butter and/or olive oil + salt. Toss while cooking, stop when they are just cooked and the bottoms are lightly browned. Do not cook until squishy.

I saw this done the other day with pancetta and then tossed in a balsamic reduction, and I really want to try it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

48 tabs open in Firefox, 11 open in Chrome, and 11 open in IE. On the work computer. Firefox is a mix of work and personal, and the rest are mostly work. Definitely external memory.

Less external memory on the phone as an ebook of crap to read when bored.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Maria, love, you may be burnt out -- it may be that you have had a LOT of very stressful things happening to you in the last couple of years.

People can be very good at doing something, and it still may not be the thing that satisfies their soul. Only you can answer that...but you have a plethora of people available you can listen to you and help you figure it out.

It may be stress, it may be bad economy at work that's leading out to a burned out feeling, you may indeed be burned out. But you've got major support in figuring it out or just venting.

Much love.

House~ma please. Found a great one today - has been on the market less than 24 hours and has a ton of showings. We are submitting an offer with an escalation clause (it is in move in condition). The seller is reviewing offers Sunday night. I'm hopeful but trying not to put too much of my heart into it just in case. So maybe some keep-calm~ma too?
