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.

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.

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

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

Timelies all!

Looks like we're going to a matinee of CA:CW tomorrow, because that's when Gary's dad and stepmom are available to babysit. (While we are planning to raise the little guy right, he's far too young for movie theaters.)

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

he said he doesn't want to go.

Why so oppositional, mac?

Speaking of oppositional, my son has started what appears to be a solo campaign against bathing. And he's getting bigger and greasier and stinkier, so it's not without casualties. The funny part is, when he does take a shower, he loves it; once he's finally in there, you can't get him out.

this child of mine has not culled the right things from me. he does not like to read, he does not like good music, he does not like to go and do, and this last choice of not going to the movies when I would pay.
