chair
Do you remember this chair? Didn’t you have one just like it in your house? There’s a good chance you did if you grew up in the 70s. It might have been one in brilliant burnt orange just like this, or in goldenrod, or maybe avocado. And the crushed velvet! Wasn’t that a great idea?… Read.

Kebabs for dinner last night, very tasty. My Darling B marinated pork in some tangy sauce, then cubed it and skewered it on bamboo slivers with bits of onion, peppers, little tomatoes the size of grapes, and … and … peppers. Yeah. Two kinds of peppers. I had the task of cooking the kebabs on… Read.

seanster
The bus pulled into the Dutch Mills parking lot right on time at 9:45, and Sean was the first one off. It was still so hot that we sat in the car to wait for him, getting out only to welcome him with a big hug before scampering back into the car. His first natural… Read.

When I tuned in to my Twitter feed this morning, I naturally expected to see mostly “Happy Independence Day” or something similar, because that’s what’s happening in my life, and what else is there in the universe but me, right?

I hope we’ll all take a moment today to remember the brave men who banded together at a time of crisis to repel the invasion of aliens from another planet and make this our Independence Day! It’s really weird having a day off from work in the middle of the week. Read.

stuck
The air conditioner was running when I got out of bed this morning. That’s how hot it’s been here the last couple of days, and it’s supposed to go on being this hot all week long. Actually, the airco kept coming on all night long. I know this won’t sound weird at all to people… Read.

Ugh. Zombie dreams last night. Nothing too graphic. I was living in a warehouse with a couple hundred other refugees from the zombie apocalypse. Spent most of the dream doing pretty mundane things. Then, in the middle of the night, I woke up after zombies started getting into the warehouse somehow, and each time I… Read.

catch-up
Today I took care of a hodgepodge of things I probably would’ve gotten done yesterday if I hadn’t gone shopping for a refrigerator with My Darling B, then rented a truck to haul the refrigerator we bought home, then hauled the refrigerator home, then returned the truck, then moved the refrigerator into the basement, collapsed… Read.

frigid
We slept like babies last night, probably because we’re not used to moving heavy appliances. For months, we’ve been talking about getting a small, second-hand refrigerator to keep at the bottom of the stairs in the basement for beer, soda pop, fresh fruit and various other sundries that fill up the big fridge in the… Read.
