Your evergreen rage makes me smile because when we were househunting, one of my biggest excitements was that we wouldn't have to have the ugly nasty tough house-pubes "foundation plantings" that were planted around every.rental.house.ever -- and of course we bought a house that had 'em, and ripping them out was second on my list. (First was the one Carolina Blue room.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Our wings are not tired.
hahahahahahahaha!
I just took some photos to put up on Facebook so that everyone can see the ugly I am talking about!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I can't figure out what to wear tomorrow for a Meeting With Feds. Gray pants suit, or black dress with non-matching jacket over? On the one hand, I think the suit is more conservative, which is prossibly better, but on the other, I feel awesome in the dress, and I think it will be hot out.
Thoughts?

Art Crawl!!!
I went to the Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fair with a friend.
I bought a Yak-Merino blend yarn! I'm very excited. Now . . . need to figure out what to make with it.
(They had very lovely wool/tussah silk top - but that was not something this beginning spinner is ready to tackle.)
Also: angora bunnies!

Jesse, gray pants suit.

hwæt
Jesse, wear the pants suit. And if you're meeting the Feds, bring a lawyer.

Because books.
I was going to say the dress. If it's black and you look and feel good in it, go for it.

Heh. I think it will be OK.
And yeah, I guess the pants are safer in some way. Eh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Conversations with Matilda today have been like an old Allen and Burns sketch.
Matilda:
[flourishing her stuffed animals]
The dog is named Rita and the cat is Cat.
Me: Seems like the cat ought to have a better name than that. Though Holly Golightly named hers Cat so there is precedent.
Matilda: No.
Me: What? There is so precedent!
Matilda: No! I don't want my cat to be president!
Me: .....
We just put Fellowship of the Ring on and she's peppering me with questions.
Matilda: Who's that?
Me: That's the Nazgul. The Dark Riders, the Ring Wraiths...
Matilda: Which one are they?
Me: Uh, they have a bunch of names.
Matilda: But they melt if you splash water on them, right?
Me: No, that's the Wicked Witch of the West.
Matilda: But the girl comes to help the boy. And the riders are chasing her and she puts water on them, and they melt.
Me: Well...Arwen does rescue Frodo and summons up the river to wash away the Nazgul...
Matilda: She melts them!
Me: No, it's just that evil things can't cross moving water.
Matilda: Why?
Me: Because...they're stinky.
Matilda: Oh.

You'll laugh at my reasoning for pants suit: you have fewer occasions calling for a pants suit, so use it when you can! A gorgeous Jesse in a hot looking black dress? Wear that ALL THE TIME!
