th' THING
Using the AC is kind of a THING. I grew up mostly without it, and also in a household where, as a matter of course, the heat wasn't turned on until November. No matter how cold it was, the heat stayed off until a certain time. That's just how we rolled. When we did get central air installed. we followed the same rules for turning the AC on.

A Hot Beef Injection
Wendy and I went out to eat yesterday. The weather was just amazingly fantastic and I broke out the spring time flirty skirts and little tank tops and I wore pink yesterday. Pink flowered skirt, white lace-edged tank top, pink jacket. I haven't felt so cute and girly in... well, a long time, really. Kev liked it when I dressed up for him, but hated ( Read more... ) -

I got deluxe "Apples to Apples" even though a bunch of people already have it, "The Big Idea," and a bunch of Cheap Ass stuff. Ricky was all excited because they have the board game of "A Game of Thrones," which kind of looks like Risk only more complicated. Will has it ( Read more... ) -
Has anyone borrowed...
Has anyone borrowed my copy of Cetaganda? I can't find it, and now am wondering if I even own it, or if it was a library copy. Any clews? -
Apartment Dwelling
Our upstairs neighbors are just... impossible. There's two kids, a toddler and a preschooler, and I swear to GOD they spent five hours last night running back and forth across the floor, the only break to squat down and bang on pots and pans. I know, I know. I'm old and crotchety and just don't know what it's like, having kids! How can I judge! But ( Read more... ) -
Stuff and Nonsense
It's snowing again. I think we got another inch or two overnight, and it's still coming down. I'm so glad I don't have to go anywhere today; just need to clean up after last night ( Read more... )
