'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Very cute...
Fireworks here start at 9:00, at least that's what I'm told. Noah and Grace just woke from a super long afternoon nap in anticipation of tonight's revels. However, we are now late and I thought I could swing by ND and Pix's place, but find we can't as we are now late.
The difference between on-time and late with small children is a narrow margin.
Awww, Noodle is a cutie and so is her girl.
No way to fake it - I was supposed to be increasing every other row and I didn't understand the symbol on the chart (obviously). This process is complicated by the exciting yarn manangement problems I've been having - involving having to break the yarn in a couple of places.
I went to yoga this morning (yay) and ended up with a wicked headache (boo), and the friend I was supposed to hang out with cancelled on me (boo) so I took a long nap.
Now I"m thinking of making chocolate-covered strawberries for the thing I'm going to this evening...a friend who is going invited me (though I do know the host), so I'm not sure what the setup is, but I assume if she's having people over at 6pm there will be food, and thereforeI should bring some.
I am very distracted by the billows of smoke I can see out my window--the next door neighbor has apparently set up a bbq on the balcony/terrace (which is lower than my window so all I see is smoke!). Now I want a hot dog.
Just reach out your window with a long fork and grab yourself one, meara!
We decided not to go down to the Mall for fireworks on account of rain, and now it's not raining. I'm still pretty sure a couch and AC beats wet grass and mosquitos, though.
omg, only 10 listings up thus far. this is taking way long. (I did take a food break and a break to introduce mac to fragglerock)
Oy. On A Capitol Fourth, Josh Groban just butchered Simon and Garfunkle's "America."
Stinks of sulfur out there and it isn't even dark yet.
Shoulder is better tonight. Will see if a full weekday swim aggravates it tomorrow.I was telling my pregnant swimbuddy about it, and how I in-advisedly google diagnosed. Turns out she's a med student. She started laughing and said usually people tell her about their maladies AFTER finding out she's in med school. Hah. But the google and fledgling med student recommendations are the same. Don't aggravate and regular advil. Turns out she's done it to herself too, moreso as the pregnancy advances. So I won't be the only lapper occasionally grunting when I forget to pay attention to my stroke.

Oy. Downstairs neighbor's neurotic dogs are now freaking out over the sound of fireworks. Oh well, at least for once they're on the receiving end of annoying noise pollution rather than its sole cause.
ETA: It looks like Steve Martin's transformation into Colonel Sanders is almost complete.
