Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, aren't they, though? My dad use to talk about picking blueberries in the scrub behind the farm, and running into bears every third time or so. Totally worth it.

I think I've murderized the current mature crop. I know they got started in the recycling, and some maggots must've spilled when I transferred it to a sealed bag in the basement. I've plugged the bigger hole between basement and first floor, so hopefully no survivors will make it up and any left will die of starvation.

Blueberries for Sal was my first thought too.

I am ignoring sarameg's flies and their ugly offspring, which you might as well call gingerfonts.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Blueberries for Sal was my first thought too.

Mine too.

And I probably say this every time, but I used to work with someone who was friends with Sally McCloskey!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I just made a batch of muffins with those blueberries, and they are SO GOOD.

It is the hour of everyone who put off the work that was due Friday and who have just realized that work is due first thing in the morning. Bah.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

-t, your mind would be blown at my dentist. No temp crowns.

My place does this too. Only reason I have a temp bridge right now is to let the gums heal post extraction.

I appear to be signing a lease?! For the Park West place.
It's 40 pages long!

Yowza and Yooo-Hoooo!!! Congrats!!

Today we found out that we are NOT buying a house. The sellers are refusing to fix anything, including 2 things that will prevent us getting insurance if they don't.

Poopy-headed sellers. Keep an eye on the listing through – they may realize they can’t sell without fixing, so maybe that will change?

I need to pick a color for an accent wall. These three seemed to be the ones I liked the best:

Peacock Plume! (I’m noting this before reading further – but how much fun would it be to say that name each time someone asked about the color).

You guys, she texted me back with " I'm crying. We've never had a welcome like this before!"

You are an awesome neighbor, Sara.

we just got our blueberries from him -- it's a 5-pound box, about the size of a shoebox

Oh, NOM!!!! I need to get some blueberries and get baking.

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

I'm thinking of buying a bunch of blueberries now and freezing some for baking after baby wen I can eat baked goods again.
