I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I know you are supposed to, it actually says so on the label, what I can't remember if it goes bad in a way that could actually hurt me, or just would taste bad. I certainly feel fine and it didn't even taste off (to my what's-the-opposite-of-supertaster? taste buds, anyway) so I'm not really worried, but tossing the half a bag I have left and buying new might be worthwhile if there's really risk.

I just successfully vacuum-sealed (ish, but good enough) my leftover cheesecake into a ziplock bag using a straw. I am a genius.

I'm sure I am not the first person to think of it, but I really am pretty proud of my ingenuity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't decide if I should get a pedicure today. I probably could go another week, but I just feel like it. I guess that's a yes.

Ground flax seed has a pretty short shelf life, and rancid oils can develop harmful compounds. I haven't seen anything specific about harm from flax seed meal, though.

That does sound like a yes, Jesse.

Thanks, Ginger. I think I'll just try to remember to sniff it again next time I use it and if it still smells okay not worry about it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Not that I'm advocating this method, but I'd probably decide how rancid it was by how much it'd cost to replace.

First day of vacation: sick with a massive head cold and horrible cough. Man, can I self-sabotage or what? On the plus side, though, it got me out of playing miniature golf with my sister and her BF.

Breaking news: my sister got a second cat. The first one somehow ended up being named Nitty.

The second one is named Pearl (he's grey), and she calls him Pearly.

Yes, she accidentally named her cats Nitty and Pearly.

Is this a knitting joke? (It took me writing this post before I even got that far...my brain is not entirely on today).

I went to watch folks do a west coast swing flashmob (I had no desire to participate, and ended up being the designated bag-watcher, so at least I was useful). Then spent WAAAAAY too much money at sephora (especially for the amount of makeup I tend to wear), bought fancy lotion tissues and more Sudafed, ate lunch because I was about to fall over, and now I'm going to head home and maybe just sit on the couch in a Sudafed haze the rest of the day. The place is a mess but my roommate is gone all weekend, so even though I want it to be clean, I may put that off a bit longer.

That's wonderful. Nitty One and Pearly Two in my head.

Not so wonderful, Zen. I hope the rest of your vacation is much better! Also, you make a good point about the price of flax - it's actually on sale right now so I might as well replace.

I'm sorry you are sick! But let this be your excuse for everything for the whole vacation!
