Tonight's the last night I'll be turning on my lights as Christmas lights, but it was enough trouble stringing them up that I'm leaving them where they are and using them for other holidays/parties. Possibly with added paper lanterns if I can find a set I like.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You should be careful about that, even if you don't travel frequently. Many countries will not let you in if your passport expires in 6 months or less. There are even a few countries that make a stink if you're inside of a year. Hell, the airlines won't even let you get on the plane in the first place, and then you're out the change fee and difference in fare.
Oh deeeear. Well, I'm glad I didn't run into that issue.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So today the SO called to get the Directv shut off. They bumped 50 bucks a month off the bill, kicked us up to the next highest package, and added Showtime & Starz. They almost added in Center Ice, too, which I would rather have had, but gift horse, mouth. They also notated our account so that if we choose to upgrade, we can have a free HD Tivo. Which would come with a monthly fee, of course, but would still be 40! bucks cheaper than what we were paying.
Huh.

Punishingly Intricate
Did you get the chicken? I did--best chicken I've had in the last decade, just amazing.
I did not! I got the trout which was super yummy. We also got fried cheese curds which were of the cheese gods and a mess of other appetizers. All delicious! And the beer was perfect! Much enjoyed by all. Oh and I was with 4 native Michiganders who very much appreciated the bordering Lake Michigan theme.
And it's a lovely space: they've done a wonderful job with it. I hope it continues to succeed. We're so proud and happy for him, because this is something he's wanted to do for the last 15 years. It's great that it finally got off the ground.
It is a wonderful space and it was packed on the Wednesday night we were there. I hope they continue to do well. I can't wait to get back again!

I just missed by about two feet hitting a car that abruptly crossed three lanes to get in the left turn lane. I partially spun, but fortunately there was no one behind me or to the right. Note, crazy lady, that your way would have been clear if you waited for my bright red truck to go about 15 feet.
It's possible my heart rate will slow down by tomorrow.

That adrenaline is powerful stuff. If I hadn't been almost home, I think I would have had to pull over for a few minutes. I'm feeling very warm and fuzzy towards my brakes.

Yeesh, Ginger! Glad you're safe!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yikes, Ginger! So glad you are safe.

Comcast knocked a huge chunk off of my bill when I called to either downgrade or cancel too. And threw in the Sports Package (containing the Speed Channel, which is the biggest reason I keep cable) for free for six months. When did cable companies start acting like drug dealers? It's clearly working but it's disturbing.
