Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The boy and the dog are napping in front of the fire. I was napping too, but my mom called. Which is okay, because one of the reasons she was calling is free iPad mini! Which she should be ordering next week since the Retina ones from Verizon finally came available on her points rewards. Yay!

Nice!

My potentially besparkled laundry doesn't look too bad. I should be folding it right now.

Soufflé still in the oven, pork shoulder in the other oven, and then I may stop cooking for the day. Seems like a lot of food.

I have laundry to put away too. Woes.

Punishingly Intricate

With such a tiny room, and the black and white tiles on the lower half of the walls, I'm actually thinking pretty seriously about pink walls. Like this!

I like it!

We are planning to redo our upstairs bathroom this year so I've been looking at bathrooms a lot. My main desire is radiant heat flooring right now, though. (and white subway tile with black grout.)

I have put away everything that's clean! More in the dryer, and washer, and on deck to be washed, of course.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

After 5 hours of cooking/prepping - mostly by B, my freezer is now full. I have manicotti, turkey taco soup, cilantro lime chicken, feta and bacon stuffed chicken, enchiladas, breakfast burritos, bacon wrapped rice and beef, sesame chicken, and some green chili.

CJ and a couple of friends have helped move furniture. We are now waiting for pizza. Wheeeee.

That sounds great, Suzi!

I think the load I just put in the washer will be the last one for today. By the time everything is dry I'll be ready to go to sleep, I'm guessing.

Should attack the blackberries. Do I have the energy? Answer unclear, ask again later.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too. It's making me not want to clean the bedroom, even though that's the last room left to do

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't know why this is so difficult for me. Every time I do laundry I swear, this time I'm going to put it away right away. It takes, like, fifteen minutes. And yet? I have successfully done a couple of hours of data entry for work in procrastinating the laundry. Ridiculous.

Smart people can be stupid too

Hi everyone! I hope this is ok (coming from a long time lurker with maybe 10 posts to my name) please ignore if not.

I'm trying to choose a name for a (hopefully) soon to be mine cat and thought it might be a particularly Buffista friendly task.

She is a 2 year old medium-haired tortoiseshell (mostly shades of grey) with a sort of... beastly look? My DH and I have been brainstorming (mostly Lovecraftian Erdrich horror type names so far, with a couple of muppet names thrown in for good measure) but we haven't come up with anything yet.

Does anyone want to play Name That Cat?
