My head has been made a feast for mosquitoes on the dog walk this morning. And to add salt to my itchy welts, I made weak coffee this morning.

I’m adding this to my (gargantuan) list!

Happy Alison Goldfrapp Flux Release Eve to all who celebrate!

Epic grocery "adventure" imminent. I'm talking talking broccoli/faro salad, French egg salad, cold & spicy noodles, panna cotta, and fresh limeade!

Release Darryl Hall's list of kisses!

Oh my goodness the motorcycles NEED to stop. I'm trying to squeeze in some audiobook narration right now, and it's the WORST.
