Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sara, I just bought those same shelves for my basement.

And I went back upstairs and the bedroom light was ON. So I've located my flashlight and turned the power off at the breaker. There's a light in the kitchen that is not on the same circuit, so I think I can survive without lights in the bedroom tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

After I send them out, I will have made approx $2 on the one pair of shoes I sold on eBay, so I'm over selling stuff! Except I do still want to sell my old computer -- that should bring in actual money. I should clean it out and list that on craigslist tonight. Hmmm.

I really used to enjoy my hometown's Main Street celebration before it got turned into a biker rally.

I had a whole pantless baby/learning to potty train/spending time outside post. Then I deleted it.

I love my life.

How did it end? Go ahead, you can tell me. I'm a spoiler whore.

Our current potty-training efforts are continually stymied by masturbation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They're there, man, and still quite new.

“Not dead yet!”

Tired. Went to RWA chapter meeting today-- it was really good; we had a fantastic speaker. Normally I find myself in workshops feeling like a stranger in a strange land, since so many of the things advocated are usually contrary to my style of writing. But today's wasn't so much a craft workshop (really hate those)as a looking at your work with a critical eye with some great examples on how to do it.

After I came home, I took the kids to the community pool as it was 93 degrees today. We lasted a little over an hour and a half, but it was good. Now showers and going to watch a ball game. Busier Saturday than I expected but a good one.

ETA: I've got Atonement on the television and I'm still monumentally annoyed at how they let Briony off the hook so easily in the film version. Bah.

Punishingly Intricate

I got up early but did not make it to the farmers' market down the road.

I road my bike there today! to see our friends who were doing a bakesale fundraiser for the ride (they were there for like 4 or 5 weekends since march and made about or over $1000 each time. people look for them now!) and then we rode by sara's neighborhood!

I napped like a fiend and then was real lazy all around my neighborhood.

HEY! Ice cream truck! Is playing Fur Elise. hilarious!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I napped, and then when I woke up I ran out the door to go do stuff before my headache could wake up too. I only made it to one of the three places I was hoping to go today, and now the headache is back and angry, but it was still worth it.
