Never had ramen before, in any version.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have the first four Thief books and have read the first. I need to read them all before I get the new one. Also I need to finish the Stiefvater Ring books.
I'm finally dragging myself away from fic and am re-attempting books.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm annoyed I tried on jeans and the pair in one size zipped up but were squishing me tight...
I think you're supposed to get that one, on the theory that they stretch out, right?

Was this by chance Old Navy jeans?

msbelle, it WAS old navy jeans!
Jesse, I didn't feel like they'd stretch enough to be comfy though? Like, if they'd been snug, maybe, but they were squeezing.
Meanwhile, I decided to reorganize my pantry....only to realize the main shelf was hanging by a thread!! Some of the anchors had come out of the wall, and one of the supports had come undone from the shelf, too. Yikes! And now I have to figure out how to reinstall in a slightly different spot....and go buy a bunch of anchors??

ON jeans are NOTORIOUSLY bad on sizing. You may have WIDELY different fits from the same size, same cut.

Yeah, I didn't feel like grabbing a whole bunch of pairs to try on, given Covid. But it was annoying.
Also annoying: trying to rehang that damn shelf. Don't really think I did it right, even after redoing it a couple times. Argh.

That is good! Part of what American Halloween has become is a festival of lights in order to stave off the encrouching darkness of autumn, I think. Or maybe that's what it was always intended to be.
Matt, every open house you go to is going to help you refine what you want in a house. I DID buy the first house I actually visited, but at least I had had a long discussion with my buyer-broker about what I wanted/liked/could live with/could expect at the prices we were looking at. I still did go and dutifully see a bunch of other places while waiting to see if our offer would be accepted, et cetera, and it actually did reinforce my confidence that I was going with a good deal.

That's how I'm doing it, for sure.
