Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ice cream sandwiches are one of my weaknesses.

ICS FTW! IJS.

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

A burrito followed by an ice cream sandwich does sound like a an excellent lunch plan for many occasions

Woohoo radon mitigation, defeat the poison gas!

Yes, as gifts with purchase of a new house go, bonus lung cancer is one of the suckier ones. Go mitigation!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ice cream is an excellent lunch, although to have the full amount of nutrition it should have hot fudge on top.

Hot fudge isn't one of my favorites, although I do appreciate chocolate chips (in coffee or mint ice cream).

Last night I tried making a kind-of DIY pizza - a flatbread, olive oil, chopped roma tomatoes, chunks of kalamata olives, shreds of fresh basil and grated mozzarella. Not bad ... and the flatbread was surprisingly good when heated in the oven.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Back at work after 2 weeks of vacation that was actually only about 5 days of vacation due to (in chronological order): dead hot water heater (replaced after 1 week), dead stove (replaced same day as the water heater), massive storm that knocked down all the trees/power lines (restored after 3.5 days), and BEES (still living in the wall of the house when I left).

It turns out that being the adult in charge of the 120 year-old cabin isn't nearly as relaxing as being one of the kids.

I skipped to the end but would like to add my support to those in favor of burritos and ice cream.

I'm sorry vacation was less than relaxing, but it sure looked pretty! I hope work is not too annoying so that you can recover from the vaca.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just helped neighbor get 2 yard waste bags full of dead tree limbs and sticks, and 3 bags of magnolia leaves picked up in prep for trash pick up Wednesday morning. Now showered and my plan is to be in bed by 9. I need to get my head in a better place.

Geez that does not sound relaxing Jess!! Yikes.

I got no emails from my client today and I can’t figure out if the silence is good or scary. I’m leaning toward scary and possible IT issue that they would probably blame me for. Sigh.
