Disfigured Afghan girl is in the US and getting plastic surgery.

Really nice, ita.

Kat, very much badges of survival.

Went to the market late-ish (9:30.) Haul: spinach, spinach empanadas, donut white peaches, white nectarines, two pints of yellow cherry and red grape tomatoes and 2 ears of corn. Met a woman on the way who had questions about the market; she was driving by and smelled the fruit, so had to stop. She didn't know anything about it and thought it might be a one time thing. So I walked over with her, telling her all about it. She was so excited. Saw her leaving laden with 6 or 7 bags of stuff. Very cool.

Now I need to go rake out my back postage stamp. Uhg. Then I'll probably strip some paint and then go swimming.

It is gorgeous here. I need to cook and clean and grocery shop and shower (probably not in that order), but what I really want to do is take a long walk on the Esplanade. I realize I can do all of these things, as long as I move off the sofa.

Hot men reading Jane Austen:

That pretty much sums up how I met my husband. We fell in love over P&P.

For me they are badges of survival.

Badges of survival indeed.

So yesterday I spent much free money in the form of GCs, including a new food processor. Does that keep me from wanting to buy more Nubar? No silly, it does not. However I'm having trouble with the site. Grrr.

Hey Kat, is Reclaim as pretty as it sounds? I think I want it. IF the site keeps giving me grief, I just might try to go by the factory and buy some polish.

Bag of yard debris and 7 bug bites. Uhg.

Now need to strip paint.

So, I've...showered. Soon to leave the apartment!

I have gone to Pilates class whereby I kicked my own ass. Now I am going to prune the front yard, but not until after I talk my husband into taking me out to lunch somewhere. I consider this entire week my birthday, therefore: lunch out. Also we are starting Atkins on Monday, so I need a last carb binge before entering the Land of Meat.

I have run, made an apple-ginger-lemon pie from my sister's apple tree, and cleaned the kitchen.

Now I have to decide if it's worth it to go check in with my parents given that I'm going to a potluck in the Mission at 4 pm.

Or I could finish watching Prince Caspian and write fic...

Just spent 90 minutes cleaning up CJ's room in anticipation of my dad's visit next weekend. Still need to fix his bed frame, clean his closet, and find a multi-outlet surge protector for his room. So much fun (not).

But for now it is break time. Some tea, maybe lunch, and internet surfing. Wheeeeeeeeee.

I have slept super late missing the yoga class I intended to go to, looked in boxes and failed to find my ninth grade diary. I'm looking to help me research a mix of my favorite songs from that year, a challenge for my music club. Went to staples for some things and now am killing time before a 4 pm yoga class. That is sure to kick my ass. Bob has been super industrious today, cleaning closets etc. Really good to see because it means he is back to feeling 100%!
