Dandelions
I used to abhor dandelions. Not when I was a kid, mind you, when I thought they were pretty and bright…a beautiful sunny yellow. Only as an adult, when I have to dig them out of my flower beds (there’s no use snapping them off ground-level; they are like worms where you can chop ’em in half and they just grow back. Sometimes overnight. Bastards) and when I watch M battle them all summer long. Our neighbors (the pot-heads, in case you’re wondering) seem to adore them, as their yard is already quite full of them and they are making absolutely no attempt at eradication. Probably too busy smoking pot. Or dandelions.

It’s better than Dear John
Dropped the ZoeMobile off this morning to have the driver’s side front axle seal repaired. I’m not sure exactly what’s involved with that other than $250 and being without my car for half day. And we all know that my being without my car is not a good thing.

The shelf life should be enough to scare you away
It always frightens me a bit when my lunch looks like it’s something packaged from the NASA Mercury program. Pretty sure miso soup isn’t supposed to start out in a cube.
“Yes, Commander, commence mastication of pre-formed dehydrated nutritional supplement.”Yum!

Whispers & Roars
Went to YWCA St. Louis Regional Sexual Assault Center’s Hear the Whispers and Roars event last night at Schlafly’s. It’s an evening of readings on rape and healing, and it’s moving and touching…definitely an evening well-spent. Especially when you’re sitting at a table with some of your favorite girls.

Statistically speaking, I believe that sucked
Weekend went by in a blur, which sometimes is good (like, when you’re having fun riding roller coasters) but in this case was not (like, when you’re taking statistics mid-terms and working).

We pray to the Lord
A little over ten years ago, M and I got married. And the night before that wonderful day, we looked at each other and said, “Oh, shit. The Intercessions!”

How ’bout we use sausages for a prop?
The photograph and caption below was published this week in a local newspaper. (A “rag” as my FIL calls it; a socialite paper that talks about who’s who and all their doings. And, apparently, all their doings with questionable meat products.)
