Yay for summer vacations! Have a great time, Connie, in your new dress!
I'm mildly envious of you all who get actual summer weather. We had a couple of warm days, and then the temperature dropped again. Me, I wore a shawl at my desk all day.
Anyway, tomorrow is my regular day off, but since it's also a paid holiday, I get to take the paid holiday next week some time. Coolness! And I get to spend time with my nephews, because my brother's family is coming to town for the weekend.
JZ--I will just say that the only emotion I felt at my mother's death was relief. She spent the last five years of her life being miserable and making everyone around her miserable, and then it was over. And I couldn't even grieve. I still haven't, really. I try not to feel bad about not feeling bad: I figure that'll come, with time. (That or I'm emotionally broken, which I hope is not the case...)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or you handled your grieving along the way, which seems like the most likely.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jill Pantozzi is no longer the editor of The Mary Sue. As she's not going to another job, I presume she was forced out. Lot of defections from that site.
I gave up on it after the big merger. What a waste.

I stuck with it, and have (IMO) found it to be much the same as before: it's rather less Gizmodo-like than I had feared.
I do wonder why Pantozzi is leaving, though.

Yesterday at the grocery store I was buying ice cream and saw a new flavor: almond poppyseed. I love almonds, and like poppy seeds in sweet things, so though that sounded like it could be really neat. A grown up sort of flavor. Sadly, no. The almond doesn't really taste like anything and the poppy seeds are fine but not enough. Boo--now I have almost a full pint of ice cream I don't want. Do I throw it out? Quickly find a recipe I can use it in to bring to a BBQ?? No idea. Sadness!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Anyone else immediately think, "Eat a muffin, whitey!"?

An almond poppyseed muffin probably would've been much tastier!
Oddly, i do not like poppy seeds on savory things like bagels or bread. Or maybe it's in things vs on the outside of things?

Maybe add amaretto?
