'Serenity'
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.
aurelia, that is just wrong like a wrong thing.
Sniggering at the pitball pup penis comparison.
Goals for today: go grocery shopping, come up with a fab rain-ready outfit for Krewe de Vieux tonight, and possibly resurrect my shrine (I'm going through all the Rookie shrine photos, and it's pretty inspiring). Oh, and do some volunteer stuff.
I'm drinking tea right now AIFG!
I want some company! to cook with me and hang out and no one around is available and WHINE.
Breakfast/first meal of the day/whatever it is when you eat at 10 which is when you got up:
Smoked salmon, tricolor pasta, onions, celery, chopped spinach, olive oil, a bit of butter, red pepper, dill, and some pepper sherry. Topped with slivered almonds.
Oh, aurelia, what a nasty surprise.

The length of the day isn't unusual for me. It is demoralizing though to find out when I thought I only an hour left. I need to be mentally prepared.
We'll keep you company, msbelle! By which I mean, when I come back from grocery shopping I'll be sure to check back in here and on FB and will happily virtually chat with you all day.
My kids want to go skate boarding today. Must remember to get pics of them this time.
Post office at the mall with the theatre is closed Saturday. Shenanigans. That's going to mean two malls in one day. The things I do for my sister...
Meanwhile, mango iced tea in the sun.
Cooking question:
I make a quick-and-dirty black bean stew-type thing by combining 1 can black beans, 1 can diced tomato (or dicing up a fresh one), and 1 can of Trader Joe's black bean soup (which is good, but bland). The overall taste of the whole thing is savory, but...bland. What would be good spices to add to it?
When it comes to cooking, I am VERY spice-ignorant, and I'm trying to rectify that, but I have to ask people so that I know what direction to head in.
I have a massive headache/neckache that starts at my eyebrows and ends at my shoulders. Advil, caffeine, decongestants, and food have not helped. In fact, it's worse. I never used to get headaches. Maybe it's tension. Maybe it's the rainy weather. Maybe it's how my period is going to manifest now that I have the Mirena. If I take a Valium or Tylenol, I'll be asleep and I don't want to sleep all day. If I don't, I won't get anything done. I probably won't anyway. Damn.
I just took a medicinal shot of brandy. Let's see what happens.
