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

I always like to eat down my pantry. Also trying to diet, though, which complicates that a little, because I feel like I want a uniform one or two things I can eat at each meal kind of diet, cut down on decision making. Hm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We didn't get the house. Though apparently we're up next if the buyer they chose falls through. They liked our letter (But, I'm assuming, went with the offer that included more money.)

Salted caramel ALL THE THINGS. Yes.

sj, I have opinions about baby stuff, but mostly I'd say if you can, register for gift cards and figure out what you need as you go. Most of the stuff you think you need now, you don't.

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

Thanks Jessica. But I know my mother is going to have some sort of shower for me after ltc arrives and the people I know will likely not buy me the gift cards. So I need to have some sort of registry or I'll get a bunch of stuff I don't like or need. Although I am registered for gift cards as well.

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

Timelies all!

Had my annual physical today. Everything looks good. I was worried about my triglycerides level, but they're fine. My good cholesterol and hemoglobin levels are a little low, but they always are.

Shall I cross my fingers that the other buyers fall through? I don't quite feel right about doing that.

I am not at work anymore, hooray! I don't know what it was about today, but work was onerous. Not that I had onerous tasks to do, just being at the office and working was onerous in and of itself.

Anyway, what I need to do before i go to bed is (a) make macaroons for tomorrow's potluck and (b) watch iZombie. I think everything else is optional.

These egg whites have been in my freezer for a good 2.5 years. Well, should be an interesting experiment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I knew that. From her picture.

Need to wait for the ancient egg whites to thaw before I can do anything else cookiewise.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Jessica, let's hope the other buyers find a house that's even better for them and withdraw their offer.

Yay for homeward heading Tim!

Ginger, I hope whoever is in charge of getting your labwork scheduled properly spends the rest of the year feeling like they're just about to sneeze.

Ice cream sounds delightful. Since I just ate a whole lot of pizza, I'm thinking I should hold off on that, though.
