Must clean house. Really. My butt seems to be stuck to the comfy chair.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My slow-cooker carnitas are:
Rub a pork putt with whatever carnitas-type spices you like (chili powder, cumin, salt, anything else that strikes your fancy), let sit overnight in the fridge.
Put the pork butt in the crock pot, dump a jar of salsa verde over it. Cook forever. (8+ hours)
Before serving, crank up the broiler on high. Pull the pork butt and spread it out on a sheet pan. Put it under the boiler and let it get crispy. NOMS.
Survived Dylan's G&T testing this afternoon. Feel like I'm going to need a few G&Ts to get through a snowed-in weekend with these kids.
Somehow I let Dylan talk me into putting in Phantom Menace. I knew it was bad, but I'd honestly blocked out just how bad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Busy day here so far. I have an internet connection, a new television system I need to figure out, a working refrigerator (-t and Juliana, it fit!), a washing machine that was installed, a dryer that wasn't but will hopefully be soon, the gardener came and mowed my lawn, and the alarm company is making a second attempt at installing the security system. Once that is done, I need to make a grocery store run, but after that, I don't think I am doing anything, except maybe a little unpacking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay! And I think all of us who have moved understand that the internet is the most important.

Thanks for passing on the news about Stephanie, amych. I've been thinking about her.
I did go out to a yoga class and picked up some pants I had hemmed but, man, am I lazy today! I should at least go take a shower, I guess.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray for the fridge that fits! I take it the washer and dryer fit okay, also? And which room is Dita's?

Thank you for earworming me with the Michelob jingle, Erin!
It's icy here and my kids are watching bad anime cartoons. Blah.

They do! They couldn't install the dryer fully, but Martin's business partner is going to take care of that.
Alarm system is place, even though it is currently deactivated.
I think I am going to eat lunch and then nap and then maybe unpack a little.
And which room is Dita's?
The small bedroom in back, which is going to be my work room.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
An ecologically-minded teenager on my television just claimed that tap water is "cleaner and healthier for you than store-bought water."
Isn't that...lies?
(He followed it up with "Also, it's a lot cheaper." Which is not lies.)
