It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Our vending machines only have Pepsi, so you are lucky Dana!

Is that even legal??

I think you should try to raise a red flag about the course too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It is hard, because she does have citations for all of those things-- just the whole system about weight loss is so messed up!

48 hours you guys! My sis just headed up north for a wedding and I have 48 blissful hours of alone, uncommitted time in front of me! Just me, the animals, some gardening, and probably a whole lot of catching up on TV. MAYBE I will venture out for drinks with a friend.

After the past three weeks of travel and birthdays and events and stuff I so needed this.

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

It is so nice outside today. Warm with a light breeze. I'm still working but am on the front porch. Jack is at my feet watching all that is going on in the neighborhood. He has woofed at a few folks, but none of the big time barking he is known for.

Meanwhile, K-Bug is gardening. One full bag of yard garbage so far. I feel like I should feel bad sitting here while she is working. But I really don't.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm just marking time until Civil War tonight. (5 1/2 hours.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same. (3 1/2)

Oh man. A brand new kitchen aid mixer just got delivered to my front porch. It's not actually addressed to this address. Sooooo tempting to keep it. But I put a note on my neighbors door instead.

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

Great horned owls! That's an old cat

I'm going to start using it that way.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a diet like those old cats. Maybe I should start my elderly pets and me on it.

I prefer Diet Coke, which is in our vending machine, but there's also Cherry Coke Zero (I think, something like that. I buy it sometimes but I can't remember what it's called)

Is that even legal??

A Pepsi bottler used to be a big employer around here, you still run into Pepsi only locations. It's weird to me, having grown up with Coke as the generic term for soft drink.

Woo, brenda-time! That sounds terrific. I asked my mom what she wanted to do for Mother's Day and if we could fit it around my seeing-Civil-War plans, and she said maybe we should push off celebrating to next weekend and all I could think was, I'm doing stuff this weekend, I need next weekend to rest! But I did not say that.

Good for you not feeling bad, Suzi.

Oh, meara, that is quite the temptation!

I am not nice enough to lift the dang thing and bring it over to my neighbor, I will note.

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

Just keeping your distance from temptation. Cuz you're all noble and stuff.
