Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Accomplished so far: made breakfast, currently eating it. I'd hoped to get up earlier, so I could meet a friend to run before it was too hot out (and by "too hot" i mean 72. This is why I love Seattle). But I didn't, so no go (she has another appointment in a bit). Trying to decide the appropriate order of things, now--I want to do a tiny bit of shopping/errands, and run, and wanted to buy new running shoes, but that's not urgent, but the store is up near the place I was going to run, but...I don't want to run too late, but if I want to do anything after running I have to go home and shower first, because I sweat like mad.

...all of this against my current hormonal/pain induced desire to sit on the couch all day (I am SO JEALOUS of hammock-havers!). I have drinks plans at 8, which I'm hoping will be fun.

Uh. I've made an omelet and two cups of coffee?

I need to drop off some clothes at the donation place and then get some groceries. I suppose I should do that now before it gets hot. That means I should put on outside pants.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I've had breakfast and watched more Parks and Rec, and now I need to get ready for our friends' wedding up in Dayton. The invitation specified "cocktail attire," which makes me think this is going to be swanky as hell. Guess that means I have to leave my 7-year-old flippie-floppies at home and wear real shoes.

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

Timelies all!

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

I always assume cheese is fine unless it is actively growing mold. And then if the moldy part can be cut off I assume the rest is fine.

I feel like taking a nap. Maybe I'll just go ahead and do that? I don't think there's a reason not to...

Actually, can I wear strappy sandals and no stockings to a "cocktail attire" wedding? Or are stockings a must? It's this dress: [link]

Stockings are only a must for figure skating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to say stockings are never a must, but brenda is actually right.

I don't think "cocktail attire" means especially swanky, but my swank-o-meter may be calibrated differently from yours. Anyway, that dress looks great.

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

Strappy sandals = no need for stockings! Hence the joy of strappy sandals. Also agree that the dress looks terrific

Is Franny feeling better yet?

Yes, thanks for asking. But she absolutely needed the antibiotics, although they took a whole day and a half to get her temperature down to normal. I hope Casper feels better soon.

So DH is facing down a major onerous task: snaking the bathroom sink. Clog is refusing to budge. He's currently on the roof with the snake. Poor guy. He deserves a cold beer for this.

Strappy sandals sound perfect for cocktail attire (as is that dress). I think cocktail attire is dressier than casual but not as dressy as formal.

I may have to drive into Oakland to get my race packet for tomorrow. Apparently picking it up on race day requires advance arrangements that I have not made. Don't wanna.
