Mmm, that sounds delicious.

A friend gave me the gnome eating dragon a few months ago. I adore it. It sits on the trunk on my front porch.

this is my stuff, I am still adding, but decided I should eat since I skipped lunch.

What makes that first one a refrigerator dish? I probably end up using it as a candy dish. It's what I used my compote dish for, for years, until it broke.

that is just what I have always seen and heard them called. what leftovers were stored in before tupperware and the like.

I can see that. I know my grandmother had some depression glass, but I never really paid attention to it. I wish I had, now! I had a few pieces over the years, but I haven't taken very good care of it. Somewhere, I've got a pickle jar that hasn't been unpacked. I used to keep my cotton balls for taking off make-up/nail polish in it.

I have several pink pieces. If I find anymore green, I'll be selling it also. My goal is to decrease my kitchen holdings over the next 4 years by at least a third. A lot of that will be straight to the thrift stores, but I do have a lot of vintage stuff.

I have been putting off decluttering in the bedroom, both from the endless memories and the lack of distraction in there as I work. The radio isn't sufficient, I need something with a storyline I can put my mind into. So I went and bought myself a portable DVD player, which I've been thinking of doing for a while. I found one that also takes USB and SD cards, so I've also got a way to play all the BBC documentaries I've been downloading off You Tube.

It's much much lighter than a laptop and so much easier to work with, and when it's running off an SD card I can pick it up while it's playing and shift it around without messing anything up.

I think I might even get rid of the second laptop I've had on my desk, because I was primarily using it as a DVD and video player, and this takes up much less space. I know young people who would be delighted to have a decent laptop--once I make sure I've pulled all the porn off of it.

ION, I now have Meyer Lemon Pudding Cakes in the oven.

WANT.

The bad news is, I think there were only maybe 4 people behind me in the 10K. The good news is, I was still FIVE MINUTES FASTER than the last time I ran one--and even faster, per mile, than the 5K I ran just three weeks ago!! So, that was awesome.

Then I went and walked around the outlet mall and tried clothes on. Though at one store it was so crazy I tried things on and by the last thing was almost glad it didn't fit because I didn't want to stand in line to buy just one thing.

Other bad thing, though, is that driving the hour plus home from the mall meant when I got out of the car, my knee was horribly painful. It had been slightly twingey, but apparently REALLY didn't like driving. Ow. Have taken NSAID and have ice on it.

Woo, meara! That's rough about the knee. Driving after a race always seems to hurt something.
