I'm at the beach in Maine. Well, not actually AT the beach right now, because it's been raining, but in the house by the beach. Three middle-school-age boys rode by on bikes, with tennis rackets over their shoulders, singing the Oompa-Loompa song.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So, anyone with advice on buying a new car that's in high demand?
Buy low, sell high?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can use Seche over Zoya but I need to use their base or my mani is toast.
Nails and drugs seem to be my Buffista core competencies today.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have yet to find any way to make a mani, including schmancy professional ones as well as my own half-assed efforts, last a full 24 hours without crinkling, peeling or chipping. Pedis are a lot better, but I've pretty much given up on manis as a source of anything but a really good, fragrant hand massage.
All the Zoyas look absolutely gorgeous, though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So...it's Monday. That's about it.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Bye, bye, Borders.
Damn.
Maybe a few indie bookstores could sprout up in their absence.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It occurred to me, as the tile guy left today, that there's several people still working on my house, who still have my garage code and key, and who know my husband is out of town.
I'm not actually worried, but after Zenkitty's experience, I'm a little twitchy.

The status is NOT quo.
I have lost my only credit card while traveling. Seriously? so annoyed with myself, and can't rent a car until I find it again. May have to have our housesitter overnight me one of my others.

Pix, can't you call your credit card company and have them cancel the old card and then overnight you the replacement?
