Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I vacuumed the other living room. MIght leave the rest for tomorrow, my shoulder is twinging and I am not desiring muscle spasms.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can you put some stuff away?

For my part, I just made some cheese crackers (a little too much cayenne, but otherwise delicious) and am going to continue watching tv.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, why can't your kids put the laundry in? What is your wife doing while you are doing all this work, if I may ask?

Steph, because I am a HORRIBLE person I almost posted to your vacation pic that it is too bad FiL couldn't be there. I AM SORRY I EVEN THOUGHT IT, I AM LITERALLY THE WORST.

I just want to say that mr. flea is doing heroic boy-wrangling work. THEY ARE SO CRAZY.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

People here are being much more productive than I am. I was able to do some useful running about in the morning. But after 12:30 I had to close myself inside and hide from the weather. I hate this time of year. It's like I can feel the heat pushing against the walls and windows, searching for a way in.

1.75 months until non-vile weather.

Our wings are not tired.

Too soon? Ha, not for me. I laughed. I hope Middle Brother is accepting and FIL isn't regretting not going.

Boy wrangling is exhausting. I loved when mine were in the back yard tent.

You guys are productive. I pretty much never do any laundry but my own. DH and the boys have always done there's. It was the first chore the boys did when they were little punks. I don't do stinky boy socks.

Painted samples for faux grate background. I am possibly insane. And feeling really antisocial, declining all bday invites. Barely managed to answer parents' call.

Which hotel, Teppy?

A Best Western by a mall. Surprisingly comfortable bed!

Ha! Middle Brother seems fine, and FiL is so happy to be at home.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Man, what have I done today? I picked up a hold book from the library and read a few chapters. I went for a 3-4 mile walk. I got groceries and barely managed not to be rude to the lady behind me who tried to insist the package of chicken was hers. Lady, did you think I wouldn't notice if the cashier rang up $10 worth of chicken If I didn't intend to buy it?!

I made zucchini, cauliflower, black bean, and fauxrizo burritos for dinner. I did a load of dishes. I've got the spare sheets in the wash now since my mom arrives on Wednesday. Oh, and I did some deep cleaning of the kitchen and bathroom because my mom arrives on Wednesday.
