Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Your hair is adorable, Kathy. I like it.

I have this fantasy about keeping my wedding at 100 or less.

I tried to keep mine to 25 and got 50. It was a lesson in compromise.

My mom just moved me to the end on a Kindle book because I kept complaining it was not well-written and wouldn't end. She even found a vaguely wrapping up sentence to read to me before it was deleted. She's a cold-blooded ebook killer. ... It really wasn't a good book. I just felt compelled to finish it. And she, apparently, felt compelled to shut me up.

I'll be in Chestnut Hill, Hil (heh). Northwest of Philadelphia, if that's more helpful.

And thanks, guys!

And, Kathy -- love your hair!!

msbelle, I wonder if you could baste your turkey with a valium solution?

Not a holiday goes by that I don't wish this were an okay thing to do.

Yay, Perkins!

And yay moving, Jen! You do not need stuff. You need happy. And you've got that.

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

your mother antagonizing you is her way of forgetting about her health

She's not antagonising me...she's just shifting her angle to "There but for the grace of god go you..." She did try the self-deprecating "Well, obviously it turns out I don't know anything about nutrition" angle first, but I made her shut about that toute suite.

So I had broccoli with my dinner. But I will keep telling her to zip it and focus on getting well herself.

I almost don't want to tell you this story, but I feel the need to have someone share my squick. I just finished washing a huge mountain of laundry that's been on my basement floor since Saturday. Last load: bras and v. delicate items, done on the handwash cycle. (I am too lazy to actually handwash.) I take my silk dress out of the lingerie bag it was washed in to hang to dry, and from out of the bag falls a freshly laundered CAT TURD!!! I am beyond grossed out. And the dress is back in the washing machine. Both cats are still alive, for now.

Cass, thank you -- I'm going to paraphrase that this weekend. A lot. (Well, really just swap out the "you"s for "I"s. So basically quoting.)

She sort of wins.

Sue, I am so forgetting I ever read that. How awful.

Happy Moving Jen! If you have all you need to survive, why worry about more?

Thanks, Sue, and also... oh, dear re: the laundry. That is not on, kitties. Not. On.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Perkins!!

Kathy, cute hair!

JenP: very exciting on your move! May everything go smoothly.

One of the scavenger hunt items is a picture of a cat eating kale.

Hmmmmm....I have kale. And a cat. Need me to try it?
