Time for bed.
This is getting geekier by the second.
My heart just aches for her.
2. Summer skirts in general. You've never met a more complete convert. The one I'm wearing today is covered with copper sequins that jingle while I walk.
3. Pedicure! I selected a bright beautiful purple with white and yellow glittery flowers. I love foot art.
4. I stopped by the meat market to pick up giant steaks for Lawyette's birthday, and while I was there I got some turkey brats and homemade extra spicy gierdienera.
5. I picked up the CSA box today and there were beets in it. So, I ate them. My bounty is... bountiful?
6. I've had a mostly do nothing day, which was very much needed
7. I'm wearing my new Chantelle bra for the first time today and it's beautiful.
Last night, to celebrate finishing my class, I picked up the fairy porn book again. I stayed up too late reading.
Technically, I'm free today! I have to pick up the CSA share, the house is trashed, I need to work on my speech and also I'm due a trip to the grocery store. But at least I can do these things at my leisure.
It's recently come to my attention that I scratch when I'm nervous. Crap.

scentedwoods home from the sick Auntie's. All in all, about a 17 hour day and I am just sitting down to dinner. The relevant information:
Barring complications, Sam is going to be fine. He dislocated his back toe in some way. The vet popped it back into place, and Sam is already putting weight on it, and we are hopeful that the loss of $140 will be the sole detriment of whatever naughty punk escapade landed us in the ER.
While we were there, we saw something I never ever want to see again. Not graphic, but emotionally devastating.
I got a B+ on my informational speech which is a biblical sign of Armageddon.
Pink made the Dean's list.
It's Lawyette's birthday! Happy, happy - dear S! I'm glad you were born. We party on Sunday.
I got home early from class tonight! We got to leave after our test. think I missed one question (multi point) but I don't care too much. It wasn't a huge part of my grade, and I think I'm pulling a pretty strong A in that class., Now all I have to do is finish my paper and I'm done with Analysis of Argument. I'll be very relieved because I really need to concentrate on my speech class. My first speech just sucked. I'm supposed to be self evaluating myself but have not yet been able to watch the video all the way through. Agony!
I'm starting to worry just a little bit about fall. I really want to take three classes. I'm registered for three classes. The semester is twice as long (I think). As long as they don't keep the same pace, I think I can keep up with three classes and work. Of course, December is going to be sucktastic. I really miss the month off before Xmas.
Today was just busy. I faced it up, but I'm glad it's over.
I'll probably miss Matt a little bit, though. My instructor. He's a funny and deeply nerdly little man.
P.S. I made some diet brownies with black beans in them. They taste okay, except, well - they have black beans in them. And they caused me to have brownies, milk and cherries for dinner. Yup, it was all their fault.
Well, going back on the diet sucks. I'm hungry, but my appetite has been tempered greatly by agonizing heartburn. After this weekend, my body is hating on me big time.
Of course, I came home to a house completely devoid of food. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home from class tonight. Starving and in a hurry, I tried a new kind of veggie burger (awful) Smart One's Mac and Cheese (worse). Now I'm baking that crazy low fat brownie recipe with the black beans. I'm afraid. It seems to be a bad night for trying new foods.
I'm not too upset about my gain. I mean, if I look at my weekend I know what happened. Like, I could tell myself I tried to write everything down. And I did, mostly. But how accurate was I? What did I eat at the SFGH? Fuck if I know. And I totally milked it. Like, I ordered pizza last night when I got home and that was not necessary. I was just making hay. These are behaviors I could look at improving next time around.
I did have a delicious peach.
I gained three pounds last week overall, and I don't even want to think about the difference between Thursday and today. Well, sucktastic. I made my choices.
Pink: No! He dry humped me.
For the first time in many years, I had a perfectly fantastic con. It was really all about surrounding myself in wonderful people. Thank you, wonderful people. All of you totally made my weekend.
I've already started pondering my costume for next year. The theme is villains, and of course that's fun for the whole family. Also, I have something else up my sleeve that I'm really looking forward, too. My plan is to start early so that having a costume on both nights doesn't become cost prohibitive. Sure, I know that costumes can be made and don't have to be expensive - but I rather enjoy throwing money at them so that must be part of the preparation. And comfortable shoes. I'm going to get obscenely comfortable shoes.
P.S. Best villain costume idea so far? LD and JW as Ayn Rand and Alan Greenspan. Followed up closely by a barber shop quartet of Ming the Mercilessi.
Wide and ducklike.
Like rebar in concrete,
You support my arches.
Like a teddy bear to a child,
You comfort my heals.
Without you,
life is pain.
Feets.
In the immortal words off
pluribus, I could write good poetry - but it's so much more fun to write really, really bad poetry. I'm at CONvergence, and as has already been stated, it is epic. I ended up wearing my fancy costume last night for a number of reasons. Really fun. Painful. There was evil in those shoes. Also, it's hard to be a winged creature - no one watches out for the span! Today, I am slightly hungover or exhausted or some combination of the two, but I will soldier on.
Oh, and last night I did my best to right a former wrong. Or, more succinctly, I apologized to someone who deserved it. I didn't get the impression that she was all excited to forgive me, but that's okay. I did the right thing.
Off to the art show. I want to check my bids before they close.
1. I bought my opera tickets today and I'm excited about my seats. Not that there are really any bad seats at the Ordway, but this year we will be in the front row of the balcony which should equal more leg room and better ventilation.
2. I'm officially on vacation! Four days without work and a holiday amongst them! It's a freaking miracle.
3. The Etsy seller I've been communicating with finished my bag. I've asked him to shorten the straps, but otherwise I'm totally in love. Good thing, too, as it was quite the indulgence and was custom crafted to fit my laptop.
4. I remembered to thaw low fat chili so I have something to eat for dinner tonight.
5. I'm noming kitten ears and they're freaking delicious.
6. I'm super obsessed with the fae kingdom right now and that's okay. It's bringing me great pleasure.
7. I'm having breakfast with my Aunt tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to seeing her. I love her so much.
And one bad thing:
8. I heard a story on MPR today about oil companies bidding on drilling rights in Iraq and I had to pull over the car to cry. So much blood in that oil. So much.
I’ve recently started receiving your e-mails. While you all seem like very nice people, and I philosophically agree with you – I did not sign up to receive your messages and I do not believe myself to be the intended audience. I live in the middle of nowhere in the United States, not in Eastern Europe at all, and I’m sort of a paltry excuse for an anarchist at that.
I attempted to unsubscribe in a more traditional way, but there was some confusion about needing a password (which I never created as I never subscribed) and I still seem to be receiving e-mails. I know that there’s another Anna Blume (at least one) out there online, and I have to think that she perhaps keyed in her information incorrectly when attempting to subscribe. I regret that I am not that person and do not know how to contact him or her.
At any rate, if you could please remove me from your distribution list. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors!
