I may go an adventure to try to buy OPI Madame President

I want to buy it for the name, but I'm actually not in love with the color. It's too pink-toned for my taste. But We The Female -- from the same collection -- rocks my socks. I love a brick red.

This weekend is for knuckling down and getting the house ready for sale. My big thing is going through lots of paper to either sort or throw. I have to go to the grocery store, pack some things up for consignment, fill out the seller's disclosure...and I know there's other stuff. Some things will have to wait until I no longer have a mutant hand.

Aw, msbelle. Swimming sounds like a good call in that situation.

So my mother has a cold, so she's not going to see my father, so I have to take the bus, which throws off my whole plan. And I offered to bring her hot and sour soup, yet another thing!

The shirt I'm wearing right now is basically the same color as Madam President, I think, so it's just right for me.

What are people doing this weekend.

Too much. Work stuff. House stuff. Round trip to see Mom and family at some point. Prepping for trip to NY later this week.

My potential names for the cats right now are Penny and Parker. I never knew what my neighbor named them. Penny is a grey tiger with a very fluffy tail and Parker is a black & white. I have to get approval from the other family members. Penny is super friendly and Parker is super stealthy. I'll get pictures!

FB link may or may not work. I'll check the settings.

I want someone to bring me soup! But I got ginger and lemongrass and noodles which I'll add to the miso ginger broth I have. I definitely can't smell anything right now.

I made it into the gym and almost did an hour in the pool, combo of resistance channel and swimming laps. The leg is still hincky, but my guess is it is just a pull.

That sounds yummy. I am making soup in the crockpot. There is broccoli and cauliflower and cheese involved.

eta: sarameg's noodles sound yummy, not msbelle's hinky leg, although that might be tasty.

What are people doing this weekend.

I'm getting a flu shot in 45 minutes. Then I need to clean some things, complete some more learning modules in my Stanford course, and start reading the library book that's due on Tuesday.

WOO! I'm following the ladies. Suck it, Paul Hollywood.

You're a kitty!

Yum! I am interested in this soup.
