"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How are you doing without your girls?

It's actually nice to be alone for a day and a half after spending six days traveling through the South with Emmett seeing family and friends. All of that was stellar good fun and I got to see Ginger, flea (and family) and Amych (and hubbie), but it was a trip short on alone time.

But I pick Emmett up from baseball practice at noon (getting geared up for their all-star run) and we'll probably have an indolent afternoon at the Metreon watching Year One and slounging around in the automatic massage chairs.

And then the girls come home tomorrow and suddenly it's summer with its very different summery rhythms. Huh. I just realized that summer for parents is very different than summer for the not parents.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ginger's story is way more fun now that I've actually been in her house and can imagine the bubbles floating up out of the ground.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

We have Em's last t-ball game tonight. And the our schedule changes again, too. Now I see why my parent's scoffed at me whenever I said I loved summer cause it was three months of doing nothing.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

So, as if money wasn't tight enough this month, I have just discovered that some Internet company has ripped me off for almost $100 over three transactions, and caused two other checks to bounce, adding another $50 in insufficient funds charges.

not your mom's socks.

DH loves the magical pony story.

Sean can your bank flag transactions as suspicious? That sucks.

Thrive to spite them

I was going to go out and run some errands today but I checked the local paper's website to see what the current temperature is --102. Tomorrow it's supposed to get to 101.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I want a seance to connect me with the previous owners of my houses, so I can ask "Why?"

They were trying to make the demented weasels feel better about themselves.

Sean, that just sucks. I'm sorry.

beth, I hope you get to feeling better soon.

askye, that's pretty toasty. And so much fun with the notorious Florida humidity.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If anybody ever wants to make vegan mac and cheese, this is totally the way to do it: [link] . It's not perfect -- I think I want to try a little more cashews and less turmeric next time, and I used Earth Balance instead of oil -- but it's the closest I've ever tried.
