hip deep in pie

I'm still hoping it will turn up magically somewhere in my house...but I doubt it.

Last night I did find a receipt I had been looking for for about a week...I guess the universe is trying to keep my karma in balance.

Oh, Sue, that blows. I guess the upside (if there is one) is that the month is almost over? Does your pass goes the 1st to the 1st?

Chilly and rainy. Both kids are still asleep so I'm enjoying the quiet in the storm.

I'm making turkey cookies for Noah's party this week which I will try to bake today. I love baking in the gloom (turkey shaped cookies, not cookies made of turkey).

Did any LA-istas see the article about LA gourmet in unusual and casual places: [link] So many things to try!

That's on my to-do list, Kat. We're hosting a play date next week because the kids are out of school most of the week. Liv decided we needed to decorate Turkey cookies.

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

That's a delicious article, Kat. Remember when we were different people and ate out together a lot?

Although DH makes a credible homemade chimichurri at home.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I went out and bought $65 worth of healthy and useful groceries.

Right now I'm wishing I bought a whole lot more snacks.

Some supercilious ass just spoilt me for Unstoppable because he thinks he's really clever and that it sucked and no one should see it anyway. Sure, WX isn't exactly a safe space, but people are supposed to know better than that. Especially forum admins.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

In the ideal, let us even say Platonic, weekend, I will rise at dawn and walk for thirty minutes in the sweet crisp morning air, and then breakfast on cheese omelette and bacon and sweet cream coffee. Then I will proceed, calmly and methodically, to clean and organize my house and possessions. I will pause in the afternoon to lift some weights and then eat a light but nutritious lunch. In the evening, I will eat a light but nutritious dinner and then snuggle with my cats while watching a clever and entertaining movie, or reading an engaging book. Then I will sleep peacefully and deeply and wake refreshed to do it again.

In the real world, chances are good the only part of that idyll that's likely to happen is the part that takes place on the couch, and there will be plenty more Kleenex involved than my ideal scenario accounts for.

I saw HPVII-PartI today (there ought to be a better acronym: HPDHI?)

I'm calling it 7A (with 7B to follow).

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Randomly, I jusr heard someone on the TV say "short lived" with a long i. Is that how you're supposed to say that??

I've heard it said both ways. Regionalism? Britishism?

Relatedly, our marketing team's phrase of the year is "lever of change," which I find myself pronouncing as LEE-ver even though in every other use of the word I would say LEH-ver.
