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

That is why I love my mini. Such a convenient size to carry around, but a more readable screen than a phone. My full-sized (and 1st-gen, so ancient) iPad pretty much lives on the fridge anymore. Which is almost like having a smart fridge.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Hey! As of right now I'm leading the team!

I've been doing a "wellness challenge" at work, but only barely and it ends this month. You have excellent timing, msbelle!

See, I only have a stupid phone and a 4 ish yr old itouch in addition to the 6 yr old laptop. Which is showing its age/os. I'll have to deal with that eventually. But this is just so speedy and handle able! Plus, better camera than the touch and thus I don't have to do the camera card shenanigans for good quick shots.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's raining so no yardwork will be done. Darn.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Hec!

Looks like it will be a nice day, so a zoo trip is in the plans.

Blueberries and cherries and strawberries! And apricots made their first appearance, but I usually wait a week or two for them to sweeten up.

Didn't get more sweet peas, still working on last week's.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy birthday, David!

I'm so sorry, Zen. Sucks to be stuck inside and forced to read or watch recorded entertainment.

I need to get out the door and get canning jars. Don't wanna. But I also have a hundred mangoes or so and the tree is threatening to rain many more down on me. Chutney forever. Also need to get a zillion plastic containers for freezing. I just had a mango/oats/almonds smoothy for breakfast. Not surprisingly I have tabs open for mango frozen yogurt, lime (also have tree) mango sorbet, and Thai beef and mango stir fry. DH put the chest freezer in storage but I think it has to come back.

Also he just hit up a yard sale of a moving neighbor and scored a cache of tools that was quite impressive. Older (think super quality) power tools. Wet saw, sawzall, don't remember all the stuff he listed. Lots.

I thought we were getting rid of stuff, but maybe not so much. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am getting rid of stuff!

Also, I just heard on the radio that calamari has been named official state appetizer of Rhode Island. I certainly hope it's Rhode Island style calamari, and not just any old squid!

I've never been able to enjoy calamari. DH swears that it is yummy when fresh and well prepared, but I'm not convinced.

I like it best fried....like so many things!
