I'm sitting here starting to panic about the length of my house project to do list, esp. the ones that must be done before winter. What do I start with?
Seal concrete in garage to prevent freeze/thaw movement Oil deck Finish deck railing Measure windows, research and order high-R-value window coverings Ride bike Drink beer
Since H is taking a couple classes this semester and I start school right after Labor Day, I figured today was as good a time as any to start meal planning and weekend food prepping. All this really means is I'm going to try and figure out how the fuck to do that and not a) waste a ton of food, b) spend $400 on 1 week's worth of groceries, and c) sit on my ass thinking it's too hard and binge watching Netflix instead.

DH and I just saw American Ultra at the fancy movie theater. I liked the theater. if I have to pay $10/ticket , at least I CNA get some decent food and service or of it.
The movies was decently funny, except I could have done without John Leguzamo using the n-word. It was done in that, "trying to be funny/hip/black" way, but still

No, no, no. You'll do it. Just think of the long term reward of having of done, and not having to worry about food.
I'm currently trying to process the end of one job, including finalizing reports and paperwork that must get done before end of day Tuesday, plus managing the feels about terminating with clients, along with knowing I should be packing for our move, and wrapping my head around the new job I'll be starting just 2 days after moving day.

Too many things.
But really I just wanna color and watch 30 Rock.
Come sit next to me. We'll avoid together. I've got cookies.

My MIL is here and is busy canning/freezing our garden's bounty (yay!) but right now she is doing kohlrabi and it stinks like shit. It is sooooo awful. Not to mention, I have no idea if DH or I will actually eat it (she suggested cream sauce ?).
I also have a big to do list, but zero motivation. I just want to read the Internet and nap all day.
I'm making sauce from my tomatoes. I've put 7 dozen in so far and I'm waiting for it to reduce a bit. I probably need to but another 3 dozen in. Then I need to can and figure out what I'm doing with the 2 gallon zip locks of tomatoes I picked earlier and froze. Oh yeah, and I still have at least this many again on the plants.
Oh. We also have a furry house guest. My MIL's 10 year old male poodle. He's living with us while she breeds another of hers. He was getting... friendly with the other dogs. Dogs stress me out. Just. Sit. Down.
We are dog sitting a real sweetie with a ton of energy. I had to take her for a 90-min mountain bike ride and play fetch 3 times in addition to all her play with my dog to get her to stop pacing.
I am having a sincere crisis of faith. I made the mistake of going on my Lutheran synod's homepage. It's like I knew how bad it was, but having to read it....I honestly feel a little sick. The only reason I'm with this synod (I grew up in it) is because the church I go to is so incredibly liberal (so much so that I imagine if the synod had real knowledge of my pastor's beliefs, they'd immediately relieve him of the church) it's easy to forget that the overarching church is decidedly not. This is hitting me hard because my pastor is retiring (which I cannot explain how traumatic it is for me -- our church was built in 1850, and the new pastor just installed last week is only the 8th pastor in the church's history) and I don't know a whole lot about the new pastor. I love my church and the people there and I don't want to leave.....but I won't be able to stay if this new pastor is a "synod man".

During a chat about motorcycles, DH just asked why I have a problem with a man who "has a symbol of power between his legs". I gave him the eyebrow and said, "Have we met?" Fucker tried to mansplain me. I'll show you power between the legs, asshole...while I'm not having weekend sex with you.
The front of my house looks like shit. I know it's transitional (we took out a large hedge and tree), but it's really bothering me. I want to go get pots of flowers to put out there, but that's just silly this late in the season.

Where do you live now? Let's go drinking right now.

Which way does it face? If you like it, some lavender would be pretty. Bonus, bee-friendly!

I've recently been informed that I cannot be Raven at San Jose ComicCon and that I will be Wonder Woman. Rather than go traditional, I'm thinking more along the lines of one of these. Whatcha think?

I would like to drink right now too, if you'll have me.
