Hubby put in a planter box under the bedroom window. After helping him, I was sitting on the porch gazing at the neighbor's lawn. "Those tulips are pretty," I said.

"We could get you some," he said.

"I don't garden, sweetheart."

"No, it would be easy, get some lumber, dig out a piece of lawn next to the house, break it up some, dig a hole, drop in the bulbs, water it a good bit to start it, then keep an eye on it."

"Did you hear me say I don't garden?"

edit: I am cat, content to gaze at the world. He is big galumphing dog, eager to go to all lengths to please. Mixed marriages are tricky.

Damn, Debet. In a good way, of course.

Thanks again for the sympathy. Still waiting for word on the funeral. Sheryl, best of strength to your family.

Suzi, I hope you manage to navigate the day around the pain. Past, indeed.

The stripper I bought yesterday has turned.

Imagining pert butt in chaps. Not least of all because we saw a nice one in Orphan Black this week.

I am going through my folder of fanart ideas list, instead of just looking for pictures I want to turn into same. It's much harder this way, obviously, but I think I'm pleased with how the last one turned out. Now I have to work out the next stop on his quest.

Man, I'm ravenous. One of my staples is the blueberry Kind granola, but I like it best when it's had time to soak up plenty of milk, and I never remember to set up a bowl beforehand. Between anticipation of that and the crockpot chili I have going, I think my stomach is going to beat the fuck out of my brain.

Okay, time for weekly Ja call. Somehow I managed to get my phone number on a Jamaican spam list--I've had two robocalls about Jamaican something something (more accurately sinting sinting) and I can't work out why. I don't get any other sales robocalls.

Thanks ita. It did go migraine so I turned my room into a cave, medicated, and napped, missing out on Easter dinner. I just had a salad - wheeeee. Head still hates me. I'd crawl back in bed but if I do, I won't be able to sleep tonight. Instead I'm watching Tangled with the volume really low.

So this morning, I said something to my mother about Anthony Mackie, and she starts saying, "I knew about the Falcon, but didn't realize that was him!" I was like, "???" Come to find out, my father was a Marvel guy (I had no idea) and brought a shitload of comic books into their marriage, and my mother made him throw them all away!

Maybe that is a good decorating idea for his room?

I am so sorry ita and Sheryl.

Does anyone know how to buy a car online? I am thinking of buying a car, and I don't ave one, so I can't go look at them. In the ideal world I would buy it, and someone would drop it off to me! But that seems weird, so I am not sure what I should do. But the bus schedule is changing so that I have a 3 hour commute each way, and it is a 20 minute drive- 30 during rush hour.

Nice answer by Tyson. I admired it, I mean, if he wasn't bailing out someone who didn't need bailing. ita, that's awful. Kat, I think after Andi? didn't set up housekeeping with him Toby turned a corner. And there was something else, but I forgot.

Maybe that is a good decorating idea for his room?

I don't think he cares anymore....But we could see if he's into it.

Sophia, is there someone you trust who can test drive for you? There are enough jerks out there that I would buy a car unseen.

Sophia, I don't know of anything that does that. Except maybe a credit union but I doubt they would deliver. If you tell our credit union what you want, they will do all the legwork and get the car for you, but I too wouldn't want a car SOMEONE I knew hadn't driven yet. (I am not a good person to test drive cars because I don't care that much).

I guess I'm packed again. Ugh! I'm already tired of traveling, and I haven't even started yet!
