I always volunteer to eat their uneaten gluten. Happily.

As someone who has, more than once, agreed to a dinner solely based on the potential of the bread basket, this is the kind of reporting I truly appreciate...

It’s National Librarian Day…

If you know, you know. And if you don't...

I'm still getting bangs on Friday. 👍✂️💈

Turbo.

I have big plans for this little bunny...

When I bought my couch, I not only measured the space it would go, but also blocked it out on the floor with painters tape. This boondoggle lacks not only a lot of painters tape but also brains...and good taste.

For the wedding, divorce or murder? All three. Okay!

Hmmm...how about...a double wedding? Who doesn't like a double wedding?! Add in one divorce, maybe a murder or two and now you're cooking with gas.

Working on adding another book to the stack...

Gal pal and I went to see Wuthering Heights. I liked it! The movie was WAY different than the Wikipedia page, and I'm totally okay with that. So this movie (and the Wikipedia page) will be my sole WH reference(s) for the rest of my life.

It was a real DUKUTOKU kind of week.

Hi from the hottest country on earth...according to some guy in Ohio.

In the 80s, I watched an afternoon dance show hosted by KROQ's Richard Blade. He'd chat with people and ask where they were from. I still remember the gal who said she was British in a sort of English accent. He asked from what city. After a long couple of seconds, her answer was, "England?"

Fixed it for you, Pammy...

What's the "and one other thing"? It better not be another corn tortilla because tortillas, especially corn, are always plural. Also, two pieces of broccoli is too much broccoli unless both pieces are drenched in that Panda Express sauce.

My gal friend has designed, sourced, applied for and received permits and is now supervising the building of an addition to her home. Meanwhile, over at my place...

With meat and saturated fats now topping the food pyramid, I'm assuming we can all smoke unfiltered cigarettes for dessert. Yay, us.

Played and co-dominated a holiday party game--picking up a paper bag with our teeth, no hands or knees on ground, bag trimmed after each round. At under an inch, co-champion and I agreed to call it once it became clear that our dignity was the real prize.
And, yeah, there are pictures and video.

It's a book. Not one of my own. That would be tacky.

It was a treat to read!

In the past week, I've referred to one person as "a benign tumor" and called another "a bag of barf." And I like people.

Writing through the holidays on a deadline.

I'm sure these roses are extra holy for a reason, but I've been lapsed for so long, I'm okay with not knowing what it is.

The long night's orgy of stupidity and cruelty continues with the highest level of perversion before the lights come back on again...

It was a wonderful surprise. I burst into tears when my brother told me. I thought we were just going to get to stand there.

And they won in overtime.
