Woohoo! Successfully made an andouille corn chowder. The sausage isn't fabulous, but the result is pretty good.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Random street encounter. I think I just saw Mike Tyson.

Our wings are not tired.
Made breakfast and lunch in accordance to our new eat at home plan. Tonight DH shoots pool with a couple guys at a local place. The joint doesn't serve food and people bring or have food delivered all the time so I am going to bring them food later to surprise them. Trying a yummy looking recipe with mini pasta shells, lentils, tomatoes, spinach, and spicy stuff. And salads. New diet is going well and I am enjoying trying new recipes.
Gave Zoe an oatmeal bath earlier. Poor thing is itching and shedding like mad. I hope it helps.

I'm thinking Mike Tyson would be fairly unmistakable?
At work mu boss and I approve meeting room requests. Anything that's basically a meeting is free; anything that's a social event (birthday parties, baby showers) incurs a $50 fee. Friday someone submitted a request to book our large fancy meeting room on a Saturday from 9-5:30 for 75 people. The event description was, in total: "Casual meeting for babies."
We laughed a lot imagining this event.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know babies -- you really have to convince them if you don't want them to use Robert's Rules of Order.
After not doing anything at all yesterday until going out to dinner and the movies, I am getting things done today! Nothing major, but laundry, dishes, groceries, etc.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm relaxing after my sister's visit and getting my apartment ready for my sister's visit. (The last part was far more taxing than the former.) She came in on Friday and left today, but we made the most of Saturday. I took Sis on a tour of the campus where I work, we got pedicures, we went on a county-wise art studio tour, we ate tapas, caught an improv show at a local arts center, and then grabbed a late dessert. Today, I lounge! OK, I also do laundry. But mostly I lounge.

Damnit. I couldn't budge the cutoff valve, so I guess I'm not draining the expansion tank myself.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back from Philcon. Unfortunately, Gary had to turn around and leave for a business trip. This is the third one in four weeks. Meanwhile, Mr. S is alternately being upset that daddy is gone, and being his usual rambunctious self. Sigh...

I went to Goodwill and bought three long-sleeved black t-shirts, which I'm pretty excited about.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I went and saw Murder on the Orient Express with my mom. It was okay. Glad to have seen it in a matinee at a theater with fancy recliners.
