What song went through your head when you saw this?
Da da da.
(no I didn’t sniff the chair)
How things work.
On one hand, my stomach is KILLING me and I’m eating bread and rice and drinking yogurt smoothies by the gallon to calm it down.
On the other hand, Joss Whedon is writing a new series.
Balance? Possibly.
fascinating files
Riveting I tell you!
To recap, in a slightly clearer version:
I thought I was going to have to pay too much for this:
but was going to settle for this:
and eventually (because, there were none of the handle translucent files, and this was only $10) I got this:
The red isn’t perfect (a bit too orange-y), but that’s ok. The file box is more what I had in mind and couldn’t find on the web or in the Targets that I scavenged anyway.
Files
I thought I wanted this:
But I think I will just get one more of these:
The red would have been good, but I think I need to keep it simpler and it will keep me honest about filing things as the move from the current job file/current bank thingies I need to deal with/current health papers/things I need to address to the old job file/archivable stuff/ancient history box of files…
Plus it has a handle!
And is translucent! Squee!
Schnooper pooper
I love the grasses in my garden. I also love my cat. What I do not love, however, is what happens when the two mix, which they frequently do.
Oh Schnoopette, why must thou daily ingest my grasses? Why, when thou knowest they induce thou to vomit? Why dost thou shun the specially-purchased “cat grass” in favour of my pennisetum? And why – oh God! – why dost thou choose the 100% wool, long-shag rug to bless with your digestive mishaps?
good weekend. suck monday.
isn’t that how it usually is though?
I actually felt like I got some things accomplished this weekend… and managed to walk to the front door without horking up a lung…progress!
I’ve been thinking about that sweater I felted… I think I will put a zipper in, possibly add a knitted neck and then I might embroider it a bit with grey thread for pattern but nothing really bright.
Voila, new jacket.
I repotted the ivy and put my little houseplant sized garden gnome from Target in it. (sorry Eden.)
Did some reorganizing in the kitchen with snapware (the kitchen; I am not in love with it lately with because of ants) and made breakfast twice.
I made some killer home fries (zatarain’s, onions, butter and chile powder), bacon and eggs then experimented with buckwheat pancake mix from Whole Foods the next day. They looked pretty weird (like hamburger patties) but tasted enough like pancakes that I didn’t just toss them.
Not a bad weekend.
Then Monday sucked.
Whatever.
Also? Fuck ants.
Kitchen
Mmmm. I love open kitchen shelves, however, I live in earthquake country and they would fall upon my widdle head.

Things I love (today)
1. Donny Osmond (he really gets his thang going around :52)
2. Method Grapefruit wipes: the ants HATE this stuff (but they love the leather wipes; warning.)
3. The trail mix I made (sunflower seeds, Trader Joe’s Almond/Cashew/Cranberry mix, Emerald Toasted Almonds)
4. This kitten:
Well, apparently the end of the world is nigh…
Bunny is eating canned catfood.
Tuna flavor from Trader Joe’s (no gluten).
Who knew?
We’ll see if she gets all the way through the can.
Best comment evah…

Bunny boilers never just get over stuff. They make things as awful as possible, then someone ends up drowned in a bathtub.
[Author DeborahAnne MacGillivray Harasses Amazon Reader]
Anyhoo, this author (in pathetic grammar) responded to a reader’s review on Amazon (and has subsequently removed it) telling her why she was mistaken in her opinion.
And moreover:
She has since deleted the review, but not before it came to light that MacGillivray uses yahoogroups and author groups to encourage, browbeat, or by other means, individuals into taking down negative reviews by reporting that the review is a) not helpful and b) abuse. MacGillivray also appears to have taken even further steps to ascertain personal information about Reba

Well, thanks to XXXXXX our PI , we now have her name, her husbands
name, her chidrens names, her grannies and great grannies name. Her
address phone number and email
lolquite interesting.
Hilary Sares, MacGillivrays Kensington editor, purportedly is very aware of this situation and said only people with nothing better to do plays in this mess.
Bunny boilers indeed.
All of this is probably way more interesting than her books anyway.
