Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Clearance is the best. I ordered an unnecessary amount of stuff from Lands' End yesterday, almost none on clearance, but all 30% off, so that seemed worthwhile.

I should really do laundry, but ugh.

Jilli, I love that you have a flock.

My floors are taking forever to dry. And Loki is sitting on my head.

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

yay walkers! Also yay for old school goths, and youthful adorers!

We biked to brunch, now we are home doing homework, by which I mean Franny (math) and I (grading) are doing homework, and Cody is trying to help Franny understand hers. One big challenge for her? It's so much harder to learn the lesson when you write down NONE of the answer when the teacher works it out on the board in class. Oy vey! Middle school is going to kill me.

I'm catching up on last week's Daily Show and finally have seen the bit where they talk about a new terrorist "supergroup" that includes members from ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc. and One Direction. Which One Directions fans FLIPPED THEIR SHIT OVER. I really appreciate their shit-flipping, but would take it more seriously if I thought anyone who worked for TDS has any idea that 1D has a member who is a Muslim.

I wish I had the oomph to keep perfect eyebrows like theirs (and yours). So so pretty.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I've had a productive couple of days going through ALL THE PAPERS. I have two shopping bags full of stuff to shred, and all the papers are ready to go into their spiffy new file box. Spiffy old file box will get repurposed, as it only holds letter-sized files.

In other news, I've had Finn the cat for nearly a year, and he looks more like a James Bond villain cat than ever before now that he's full grown and his winter coat is coming in. I am considering re-naming him Renfield given his fondness for catching and eating bugs. He is chasing a fly even as I type.

What a great picture, Jilli!

Aw, a year of Finn! My fluffy mostly white kitty makes me feel like I should be plotting to take over the world sometimes.

Well, now I know that rolling apple slices into something that looks like roses is not something I am naturally good at it. I don't think I'm going to pursue greater proficiency in that particular skill, either. Regardless, tarts are assembled to my satisfaction and chilling in the fridge. Hopefully squirting all the apple slices with lemon will keep them from looking too terrible unappetizing tomorrow.
