Sounds like fun, Laura! My DH volunteered for the grocery store, so that worked out well. I've been doing a paper crossword and falling asleep, so I think I'll just give into the nap.
Jayne, you'll scare the women.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I got everything I needed at the regular grocery store (including white queso dip, since I was deprived of it at TJs), and the store is so big (Meijer) that it didn't feel crowded. Still, all the shoppers' body language seemed to say "You'd better not take the last of the [whatever someone else was standing in front of] or there will be a reckoning."
Tim: "Do you think that just because that was *your* body language in front of the chili beans and eggs?" Me: "It's true; I *was* a little stabby as I approached the egg section."
Now I have a vat of chili on the stove and corn muffins in the oven and the Bengals are playing at 8 p.m. And the big snow allegedly is coming some time tomorrow.

I also have meds for a sinus infection, hooray. I love that my doctor's office does online e-visits for simple shit like sinus infections. I did the e-visit at noon and had meds by 5 pm.

I like the sound of all of that. Especially the chili.

Yay meds and eggs!
I met my sister for pedis this morning. When we went out to the parking lot there was a purple jeep with the Buffy logo “B”, and the Grr-argh monster on it. So if any b.org folks were in Auburn Hills, MI today, hi! I like your jeep!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Especially the chili.
I made chili last week and I can vouch that it is Just The Thing for February.
I have reserved a hotel in Tokyo. This one! [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I, too, like their Jeep. From California.

Today wasn't as productive as I'd planned, but at least I got the wall art situation in my bathroom sorted. Will take pictures once there's some sunlight hitting that side of the house next week. Everything I didn't get done was either ruled out by soggy leaves/limbs or of the no particular hurry persuasion.
If my grocery pickup goes as planned tomorrow I'll be making chili Sunday night and eating it for the next few after, just in time for the cold snap.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am filled with admiration for that jeep!
Mmm, chili

Boston isn't scheduled for the Storm Of The Decade, at least as of the latest forecast. Such things can change, so I'm not popping any corn just yet.
It looks like I can pick up my new-to-me car on Tuesday -- the money is all in place. Let's see how that goes!
