There are few foods so delightful and delicious as eggs with golden runny yolks!

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

soft boiled eggs are delicious. I heartily recommend the addition of bacon and buttered toast.

Next time!

Now I am watching the first episode of Grey's, drinking tea and nibbling on chocolate. Also considering looking to see if I do, indeed, have a copy of A Wrinkle in Time where I think I do.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I made a shirred eggs over sauteed kale for JZ last night. Your name was praised.

That makes me happy!

He was 48. So sad.

Aww, Gilbert Blythe.

RIP Gilbert Blythe

Oh, so sad. I always thought he was very good in that (and very attractive).

And it sounds like he was in good health, just a freakish thing. Such a shame.

I'm waiting for FedEx to deliver my new computer. I can't leave or take a shower until they show up.

My office is doing a recycling event for Earth Day, so today I've been preparing all the old electronics I have yet to take to Best Buy. I've got the dead desktop machine unplugged and ready for recycling. I have a bag of random cords and old keyboards and mice and an ancient KVM switch that I unearthed from a box under my bed. I just need the new desktop so I can create a boot disk to wipe my old Windows XP machine because the elderly beast is still running.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We have 5K-ed! And wow, did we ever earn those capes.

The 5K unexpectedly turned into a combination hike/mud run. Just this week (so, extremely late notice) the park where it was held told the organizers that the route had to go through a wooded trail for part of the 5K. Turns out it was at least half of the route, and it was QUITE a hike. Big hills. Very big hills. Also mud and puddles left over from this week's rain, as well as all the roots and fallen trees that one finds on a wooded hike. (The wooded part of the route was really pretty, though, so there's that.)

Tim and I finished in 1:10, but I am really happy with that, considering how fucking hard the route was. My original goal had been to finish in under an hour, but that was back when I thought the 5K would be a more-or-less flat, paved route.

Had we known ahead of time that it was steep hills through a muddy woods, I wouldn't have done it. But it was a nice day, and we had fun with our friends who walked it with us, and WE GOT CAPES!

I am beat, and we need to go to a family birthday party soon. Time to rally.
