I'll just be copying y'all's kitchens when the time comes, ok?

Today was a day and I missed the UPS guy by 15 minutes. He was off his schedule! No shoes for me until Monday. UPS is such a pain, they don't have really workable alternate pickups (or locations in the city) that make sense for me and their delivery window is huge. I prefer FedEx, which I can reroute to campus the same day as a missed delivery. Otoh, at least my UPS guy usually hits this street at the same time. Usually.

I'm managing to do a load of laundry, and then I'm done.

Nice hardware!

now I really want to put Mike and Tim together!

I don't like tomatoes or cucumber, so gazpacho is just not for me. It does sound very refreshing if you like that sort of thing, though.

Oh, the other thing happening tomorrow is a Project Runway contestant is teaching a draping class at a store up in Sacramento. That sounds fun, but I don't think I can make it happen.

Y'all. I ordered a tote bag from Evil Supply Co ( it's adorable) and on the ordering page there's a box for special instructions that mentions maybe you want curses or hauntings attached, so I asked for a charm that would keep me from leaving the tote bag somewhere. It just came with a note card with this written on it"

Remember, remember, this wonderful tote, keep it with your keys (and in winter your coat).

Love.

I love all the components of gazpacho, but the consistency and temp are A Thing for me. I like it just fine if I'm scooping it up with bread or something else, I just can't eat it with a spoon.

Tonight's dinner, in fact, was half an English cuke, quartered, and a handful of cherry tomatoes, dipped in champagne vinagrette. Deconstructed salad, I couldn't actually deal with any more work than that.

That's awesome, -t.

I had a cucumber with hummus. And some crackers and a few almonds. The end.

Chocolate pudding with whipped cream, followed by pureed peach and pluot. I think I will try a glass of wine soonish.

Oh, and a beer.

I was gonna have a beer tonight, but chipotle for dinner pushed me over 1300 calories today, so I'm gonna just have water. tomorrow though, tomorrow I am drinking.

Aaaand I just found those other two boxes of clothes. When I thought there was one. Too tired to go through them tonight, I'll do that at some point before a goodwill run Sunday.

I would be happy to return to Slanted Door, IJS.

OK, I have cabinet hardware

Woo, cabinet pulls! Going through this home furnishing frenzy has made me realize that I have opinions about things like cabinet pulls. They aren't complicated opinions.

I'm washing my new towels! Furniture ordered: sofa, two leaning bookshelves, a night stand, and an end table. To do: kitchen table & chairs.

I need to do the last round of donations and purging of the stuff this weekend, but tonight I'm just gonna fold laundry and watch TV.
