Well she wasn't planning on enjoying the night life in NO. Which is kinda doing it wrong, or if not doing it wrong (given that she knows the place better than I ever will) then at least taking it for granted.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She's being forced to enjoy the nightlife. Poor bubbie. By our aunt, who's dragging her out night after night.
C'mon, sis! Don't waste the Big Easy! Gotta do the vicarious living!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ooh! I mentioned this on LJ but I fogot to tell you guys. We had a couple inches of snow overnight on Friday, so Saturday we had to go for a drive and see all the pretty. City streets were all fine, most of the roads are good. A couple of two-lanes were sanded, but solid ice beneath in those areas where the sun never reaches.
The big news is, the swans are back! We saw three pairs, one already on the ground three grey-feathered last-year's chicks, mama (I'm supposing) snugged into a small depression like she's already decided where the crib's going to go. Another pair was flying at angles to the sun, lighting up the long elegant lines of wing and outstretched neck. The third pair was flying away from us, strong wingbeats, with a darker yearling chick between them. So excited!
We sighted three eagles, as well.
We need to drive out to Fir Island soon and check if the snow geese have arrived.
Can you see the grin on my face from there?

Eep. I'm sorry about the waywardness (from the Right Way) of your sister, ita.

Bev, that's lovely. I always note when the Canada Geese migrate through.
So my market crew is going to do my shopping for me next weekend. So I'll come home to fresh spinach, spinach empanadas, and stayman apples. How awesome is that?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I don't remember seeing it, lisah. Please to send again!
That's awesome, Hec. I've been browsing Etsy for bearing necklaces recently.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just threw together a chicken dish in the slow cooker, so that I have a lot of my pre-Thanksgiving meals taken care of.
One useful thing is enough for the day, right?

We have to do a useful thing?
Oops.

Because books.
I did laundry. And made the bed. Oh, and played with babies! I did enough useful things for three days. Whoot.
msbelle, excellent news on the job ideas and the lack of anxiety attacks.
