Trader Joe's did not have collard greens so I bought pre-cut bagged kale there for a soup, and I thought of you guys. This kale is going to be braising for 8 hours in the slow-cooker, so no massaging or blanching.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you use your mirror in the bathroom, keep in mind what Victoria's Secret dressing rooms do with your complexion. I look freaking weird in them (at least, the last I was in that was bright pink.)
Ha! I had not even thought of that, but should.

THAT's what I was going to do today! Go to Trader Joe's! I guess it's not too late.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The lasagna is delicious! Now I have lunch for the coming week and probably extra for the freezer.
I'd worry about wallpaper in the bathroom. If it's up firmly enough that shower steam doesn't bring it down, it'll be a pain to change when you do want it down.

Crap, no matter how I time it, either the Y or the hardware store will be closed if I chose the other. Oh well, hardware tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray lasagna!
Laundry is sorted, one load in the washer; dishwasher is running, quiche crust is in the oven, other components of quiche are ready to be assembled. I guess it's time to read some EW.

Ugh - a bedbug was found in Dylan's classroom, so I guess I'm off to Bobby's (local Target knock-off) to buy plastic bins to hold his coat and backpack so they don't come in the house. (This is the second bug the school has found; the first was in the 3-4th grade classroom. Two bugs does not an infestation make, but still, ugh. Fortunately I am highly allergic to bedbug bites so if any come home to our house, I will know immediately because I will be breaking out in itchy red welts all over.)

As I learned last weekend!
