OK, we can shelve the idea of eating the neighbors.

One of Kiri's much delayed EDD checks finally showed up, saving us from starvation and worse (I was down to only three beers!) Saved from the prospect of performing in a Donner Party LARP, we hit Costco this morning. I ate beforehand. Kirsten didn't.

Three hundred dollars later, we emerged victorious. Most of what we got were staples (beer) along with a new crockpot. We also got new night lights, and a guy named Doug sold me a bottle of wine Clue to area vintners: If you want a guaranteed sale, come to the Almaden Costco and set up a table. I'm a sucker for buying from producers.

After getting home I started on trying to remove a lot of the garbage that has piled up, and did a metric fuck-ton of dishes. It is, however, 95°F currently, so work has been suspended in favor of sitting around and sweating.

That Colleen is home & has air conditioning. Give her a zen hug or something from us if you go.

...in favor of sitting around and sweating.

At first, I read that as "sitting around and swearing," which is what the Texas heat and humidity has me doing.

I keep telling you I have air conditioning and wireless Internet...

I do remind him of that on a regular basis.

"Donner, party of 6.... calling Donner, party of 5..."

That would've been a much more INTERESTING set of posts, though!

Well, as I told a friend when she suggested eating some of my neighbors, "Hell no! Don't you remember your mother saying things like 'Don't eat that, you don't know where its been!'?"

"Well, I *know* where my neighbors have been..."
