Hi!

So. I rediscovered yet another way you can have the unmistakable flavor of Cheap Hotel Coffee: Go to a hotel and spend a night!

In related news, I’m missing my home coffee pot.

How about you?

Have a lovely day!

Hi!

I think you’ll all be pleased to hear that I’m fairly sure my neighbor’s house is not, and was not, on fire.

Have a lovely day!

Umm… yes? Because I think it looked like there weren’t flames when I went by yesterday evening, and the huge amount of smoke smelled like cooking?

Suit yourself.

Yup! Happy Sunday!

Once again, I’m needing to write this post on a phone. Because once again, in the heart of California, the internet is not working.

The thing that is particularly amusing me at the moment is that my relatively “country” existence recently (I’m just visiting CA) has had more consistent internet.

So, do you think there’s a relation betseen city CA and bad internet?

Hi!

I found the old blanket I made a while ago.

It has a charming butterfly print. More to the point, it’s also glittery! (But not the scratchy knd. It’s more along the lines of the magic-fairy-dust-of-awesomeness kind.)

By extension, it’s also very pretty. And it provides a bit of Fun Interest. And it’s just generally comfortable to be reunited with a slightly older blanket.

So, what have you found recently that’s provided you a bit of comfort?

Once again I’m needing to write this on my phone due to lame internet. Given how unusual it is, though, and it’s been so long that the internet’s not been reliable for me, AND given that I am writing this on my phone, that’s kinda cool. Internet has really improved over the last 5 years! I hope it continues to do so!

Hi!

So. Summer. I’ve been going through some Old Stuff that should probably be cleared out to an extent.

And I’ve encountered a problem.

You see, there’s a lovely stationery set I’ve come across. I have the company that we got it from. But, it’s apparently no longer in print. So now I’m faced with the problem of whether to use them (and by so doing clear up the space but no longer be able to use them) or whether to keep them and let them remain as clutter.

Tough decisions.

Now see, if I hadn’t gone through The Things, I might not even realize they exist!

What are your excuses for not cleaning?

Hi!

I’m apparently being really distracted by clouds and sunsets. Although to be fair, that’s probably not too unusual…

Anyway. There was also a convenient rosebush. I thought it made a nice frame.

Enjoy!

Hi!

I recently got an opportunity to be on a plane while there were some gorgeously fluffy clouds around. And I got a picture!

Enjoy!

Hi!

So. Somebody recently posted about a thing I’d never heard of: chocolate hummus.

I have no idea how I feel about that. I mean, I realize that mostly I think of hummus as being garlicky because there’s garlic in said hummus, not because chickpeas always taste garlicky. So, that’s probably not an issue per say. But it’s still weird to think about.

What do you think?

Hi!

I apparently have ducks on the mind. (Sometimes literally. They like to sit.)

And I guess there’s one advantage of the Photobombers just following me around. They’re actually surprisingly trainable. And so, I got to play in a game last night where we used some of the ninja-ducks (and others) as the figurines. (Which was particularly helpful when we were using hiding things and such.)

It was fun.

And here’s photographic evidence. I’m assuming they made it into the photo.
