Saturday

Bright sun and cold, 28 degrees. But it is supposed to get above freezing today! Looked in the back yard and saw a chickadee, two purple finches, and some tiny yellow-breasted bird on the feeders.

Have been reading Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire and loving it.

Not sure what's on the agenda today, so have a couple of news articles. For folks who read the recent collaborative fic Roll the Bones, I think this might be one of Colt's long-lost cousins -- man in hospital gown steals fifty bucks, tries to escape on Walmart scooter. Also, guys will stick their dicks in anything. And then not be able to get them out. Heh.

LJ keeps eating my comments -- gah! The first story definitely reminded me of Colt and Lorna, but ours had a much happier ending. :) Dude must have really pissed her off if she used a skillet AND a table leg!

It's cold but sunny today and the ice on the roads is melting away. Maybe things will be back to normal by tomorrow. The mister and I have ventured out to buy him a pair of shoes and I need to do some cooking in just a bit.

This! And then he meets an ex-girlfriend, and he's STILL IN HIS HOSPITAL GOWN, and he steals fifty bucks from her! And tries to escape on an ELECTRIC SCOOTER! Oh my God.

We've been very lazy so far today, but Mr. N is going to the store sometime this afternoon. We had steak last night, so I think tonight it's chicken and dumplings.

You could not make that stuff up. :D

Corgiguy is having the last of the leftover steak tonight, so I need to get some chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow. And make bread and sausasge-biscuits.

I'm reading The Dord, the Diglot, and an Avocado or Two: The Hidden Lives and Strange Origins of Common and Not-So-Common Words (http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780452288614-0) by Anu Garg. It's a neat little book.
