since it's just us...
That is great. You know that the tour guides are going to know a lot more than they always get an opportunity to talk about.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Am listening to a group called "The Faithful Sidekicks". They are singing a song written in SQL .(or a similar programming language)

That's a pretty cool tour, aurelia!
Well, I slept for 12 hours. (I mean, I woke up at like 7am and used the bathroom, and where I'd normally fall back asleep for an hour or two, I just woke up ten minutes ago.) ...since getting enough sleep is not normally a problem for me, thumbs down on the edible. Boo!

Well, meara, at least it was a relatively cheap experiment.
I have to start back at work this week. WAH. Do not want.

I somehow got logged out of Pokemon Go! and do not remember my login/password. In trying to retrieve it, I have set up 2 new games. UGH! do not want. I want to old game.

Ugh, I left my phone at home I feel so discombobulated. (I have my iPad, as I was planning to read a book,and stopped in Starbucks to download another book once I realized my phone was not with me). Now I have to stop home on my way to the movies later (seeing Star Trek with a friend)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hate when I do that, meara. [ETA leaving my phone at home, that is. I usually am pretty stoked to sleep 12 hours. Lately I have been getting around six hours a night and I don't know why or what to do about it. I drop right off when I go to bed, which I do atmy usual early time, but I wake up in the middle of the night and am just awake for 1-4 hours, sometimes not getting back to sleep at all before it is time to get up. Sunday is the only day I can completely just forget about the alarm and sleeping for 10-12 hours then (by going back to sleep multiple times and resolutely not checking the time) seems to do me a lot of good]
Winning, msbelle! For real.
Ok, yard work time. Here I go. This is me going outside to rake mulch. On my way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm officiating at our BFFs' wedding Saturday (a week from yesterday), and the groom just emailed me the ceremony -- except it was a recipe for black bean chili. I cannot overstate how totally typical that is for us.
(I eventually got the ceremony, and now I have to practice so that I don't weep through the whole thing, because they wrote a really beautiful ceremony. [I have no shame in some tears while I officiate; I just don't want to cry so hard I can't speak, because that would make it hard to actually do my job.])
t edit And the recipe sounds really good, too!

I was looking at some pew polls on the election
and it looks like the group that pulls Trump over Hillary is older white religious married men, the less educated they are the bigger the gap. Not sure that is a group that is gonna be swayed much.
Trump doesn't lead in an age group until over 50. The ONLY category of women that he leads in is the total pool non-college grads.
Across white/hispanic/black distinguished demographics, Clinton polls 10 points higher with women vs. men. If I get called about doing voter registration, I am totally focussing on getting as many women registered as possible.
