When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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!

information libertarian

My father's previous house had a half bathroom off the kitchen with black porcelain and black flocked wallpaper with panthers. With silvery eyes. They watched you while you peed.

When he got around to changing it, he went with baby blue painted walls. Which went okay with the black toilet, I guess, but it's still weird to pee in a black toilet. (Why did he not change out the toilet? Well, he is pretty cheap, or maybe he liked it?)

A family I babysat for after college had a red downstairs half bath that I have always coveted. It looked like a bordello! But it's the downstairs half bath, so who cares? My dream in life is a downstairs half bath.
