A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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

Wine, Chocolate and Art Festival was pretty great, if very hot. Mom and Dad each found a wine to buy, we all found chocolate to buy, and Dad picked up a metal willow tree that's super cool. It was very hot, but a lot of the wine was chilled and that helped. One of the chocolate stalls had little insulated bags for their chocolate, which was awesome. Then we went to dinner and I got Roasted Bone Marrow and brought home the bones, so I have delicious stock in my future. It's still 86 in my living room, but that doesn't even feel warm right now.

I'm supposed to go see a friend's husband's band play music tonight, but I think I'm going to just watch the end of this baseball game (if it ever ends) and go to sleep.

I forgot to mention, my Y staff knows me too well. Tonight I got asked 'so now that it is cooler, more cookies? With booze? I really like kaluah?' Even they know I don't bake until my kitchen won't become a furnace. Maybe I could do that tomorrow.

SO HOT. We took Dad to Octoberfest, which was packed with people. I had some good beer and a great plate of West African food.

And now I'm going to bed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I woke up early this morning, but still haven't gotten anything done! As soon as I dry my hair, I will go to TJ's, and hope that kicks off afternoon productivity....

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

Timelies all!

Quiet day here. Groceries, and watching stuff on the DVR.(maybe we'll actually catch up and I can read Boxed Set.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I decided I wanted pancakes before I started gardening, so now I am at Stacks waiting for French Toast.

Hopefully I can get home before it gets too hot to garden.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It is 61 degrees in my house. I heat with fuel oil. Not turning it on yet. But I will be buying a space heater.
