"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Frustrating, Consuela.

I did remember to buy dog food. Just a small bag to tide us over because the fancy schmancy food he normally gets had said there was a three week delay when I ordered it...and it got here today.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Made the dog chase a tennis ball for twenty minutes, that helped.

I am enraged at the people who use our unofficial dog-park across the street, though. There's a dumpster 30 feet from the gate, and instead of using it, people have been piling their poop bags in a milk crate just inside the gate. Which is disgusting. I did my good deed for the day and emptied the damn thing into the dumpster, but I'm tempted to make a "THERE ARE NO POOP FAIRIES HERE, DUMP YOUR POOP" sign.

Now for tea and peanut-butter toast, and chorus rehearsal. Argh.

I'd throw out the milk crate.

I'd do what brenda would do. That's the worst. Why so lazy, people?

Soup is cooking. It should be ready in auto half an hour, 45 minutes, which I think is too late for me to have it for dinner. So hungry.

Suzi, Rent the Runway has plus-sized dresses. Here's plus-sized, green: [link]

This one is my favorite: [link]

Ooh, I am super intrigued by Rent the Runway. Those are some pretty dresses.

Found a candy bar that held me over until my soup was ready, hooray! And I have 3 more servings which could see me through the week of lunches. And may have to, I've got Tai Chi tomorrow night so I probably won't be cooking then, although one of two other soups to make is supposed to only take 15 minutes. Game time decision, I guess.

I'm kind of loving the way things are working out on The Good Wife. It's wacky a all get out but tending toward directions I like.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Consuela, what a PITA. Does one of you have power of attorney? If so maybe you can get the card in that person's name? Or get a new card made perhaps?
