This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

I am having ice cream for breakfast. Heard it was good for thinking, although if I am honest that is not why I'm having ice cream for breakfast, more of a half-hearted justification.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Damn, Bill Paxton died. He was only 61. That sucks.

hip deep in pie

Ugh. I am slowly coming back to life after being taken down by a stomach bug. However, now that I'm not as nauseated AF, everything aches, my abs, back and head, and my throat is so raw my voice is gone.

Thanks for the link, Consuela. George is wonderful.

I'm sorry, Sue. Recovery~ma to you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If I had a lick of sense, I would make an appointment to see a doctor about my anxiety levels. Symptoms include getting more tense while listening to George Winston.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary's feeling a bit under the weather, so our plans for today got cancelled. We were supposed to go to a pizza party-ish gathering this afternoon, but Gary didn't want to expose people to what he's fighting. Ah, well...

Art Crawl!!!

Sunny and cold here. . . i.e., slightly more like you'd expect February in n. Illinois to be.

I am feeling ridiculously tired. I had a fun morning: choir rehearsal went well, church was good and we have a new person who is a knitter! She talked about a couple of suburban yarn shops that I'd love to check out. (One, in Downer's Grove is a yarn shop cafe!)

Now I am listening to "Forgotten Classics" and playing on my computer.

Is that even physically possible? I mean, it's George Winston.

I just pulled the trigger on my ski trip to Colorado. Now realizing that United's baggage fees are so outrageous that it may be cheaper to rent skis there than to bring my own gear with me...

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Thanks for the ma, all. I have been the doyenne of bland food making these last days. I haven't made Jello from a packet in 30 years. Well, without adding vodka to it.

Mom's doing much better. I, OTOH, am very ready to go home after 5 days.

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

I tried to go to a Resistance startup meeting today at the library. The library has two big parking lots and an overflow lot. All full. There wasn't a spot to be had within walking distance. So yay for the great turnout, but I'm a bit sad to miss it.
