Timelies all!

Sigh...a local folk-rock band we like was playing an outdoors concert in downtown Bethesda, so we decided to go there and get dinner near the concert site. Alas, Mr. S was totally disregulated, culminating with him running away from us in the parking garage. Seems like he's forgotten how to behave when out to eat.

Ugh, I'm sorry Sheryl. I hope you are able to have a good holiday weekend.

I was just at a friend's house (!!) for what was supposed to be game night, but we never played any games, but what we did do was tell someone that Naomi Novik is astolat, so a good time was had by all.

so a good time was had by all.

I love that game.

Set off the fireworks and celebrate sj's birthday! Happy birthday, sj. I hope that you and yours have a wonderful celebration this weekend and an abundance of joy in the year to come.

Happy Birthday sj!

And I’ve missed so many other birthdays. Happy Belateds!!

Dogs not sleeping in is bumming me out. I may actually take a nap today. Generally naps are a no for me.

I have people coming over tomorrow so I need to clean and go shop for some food.

I guess I should get up and get going. Farmer’s market, hardware store, and pool are waiting.

Naomi Novik is an asshat? I had not heard this, though I don’t follow book world gossip. Why?

I am still lying in bed but trying to convince myself to go to the fancy bakery and stand in line for fancy treats.

meara-she's not an asshat she's astolat...her fandom name

Phew, that gave me a moment of autocorrect fear!
