There’s something very satisfying in thinking, halfway through the afternoon, “Mmm, spaghetti!” And then coming home and saying “Hey, what about spaghetti for dinner?” and getting a “Yay, spaghetti!” in response. So Friday night I made a garden salad and the spaghetti sauce (One can tomato sauce, one can tomato paste, one can […]

Cats have barfed on the bed FOUR DAYS RUNNING. In an attempt to foil them, before I left for work this morning I put one of the previously-barfed-upon blankets over the new clean one, on the theory that if they did it again, this one was already dirty. Today? No barf. :eyes them […]

As you may know, voting for the LJ Advisory Board is going on now. If you’re at all interested in the future course of LJ, I would recommend going here and reading up in the people who are running, and then casting your vote.
Breakfast was pancakes and bacon, drenched in maple syrup or pig’s blood, depending. Addie forked her pancakes into tiny suspicious pieces while the others ate, but they were very good pancakes, and eventually hunger won out over her nebulous worries about truth serum in the butter. Conversation was disappointingly normal: Jess pleading to […]
Indy IV? Does NOT suck.
