Saturday I didn't have anything extra that needed to be done, so after making breakfast and cleaning up I had a leisurely 2nd cup of coffee and finished Ficciones. I loved it and have added The Aleph, Borges' other book of short fiction, to my to-read ( Read more... )

Saturday I got in the shower right after breakfast, then headed out for my haircut, with a quick detour to Lagniappe Records because there was time. I was having a mad craving for any kind of iced coffee--I read recently that Louisiana drinks the most iced coffee of any state in the US--so I went to Community Coffee and got an iced mocha, and also ( Read more... )

Saturday was Silent Book Club, so after making breakfast I got in the shower right away. I went to the grocery store, came back and and put away the groceries and cleaned up the kitchen, then went back out for book club. (I'm currently reading The Sympathizer and keep being surprised by how good it is, then reminding myself that it won a Pulitzer ( Read more... )

I finally decided to stop fucking around and buy the "Redrum" caftan from Lauren of Palm Springs:

Saturday I made breakfast, then went to CVS and the gas station. Then I went to Michael's, because I've been using my white paint pen a lot and those tend to run out kind of abruptly so I wanted a backup. Then I just decided to buy an entire 48-set of paint pens because they had one for about $20 and fuck it, that's a good deal. Then I went to ( Read more... )

Saturday was one of the busier Saturdays I've had in a while. I looked at everything and decided I simply did not have time for Silent Book Club; David also wanted me to buy catfish that was on sale at Rouse's for dinner, and shopping after SBC ended at 4:00 would have put me home kind of late for that. Anyway, deciding I just couldn't do it made ( Read more... )

It's starting to get hot but I'm trying not to take too much notice of it. To people complaining about the heat in Louisiana when it technically isn't even summer for another month I can only say, it's going to get worse before it gets worse.

Saturday I had every type of stupid annoying errand since I wasn't here last weekend. I did manage to ( Read more... )

Sunday I made French toast with blueberry lemon bread and bacon; changed the bed sheets; did laundry (clothes, sheets, and towels); made turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwiches for lunch; made coconut ice and did some dinner prep; read about 100 pages of Blue MarsFor supper I decided I wanted to do a picnic-y type meal, since it's the first week of ( Read more... )

Saturday I actually didn't have a lot to do, in addition to being limited to what I could do because I couldn't drive across Lafayette. I didn't have any prescriptions to pick up for once. I made breakfast for myself and the 'rents, and had a little bit more of a relaxed morning than I usually do on Saturday. I went to Michael's and the grocery ( Read more... )

Saturday I made breakfast, then went out for my hair appointment, stopping at CVS and the gas station first. I was early as usual and Lagniappe Records wasn't open yet, so I ducked into Beausoleil Books. I got a book about poisonous plants that looked interesting, it had a lot of illustrations and an attractive hardcover and was only $16. It's ( Read more... )
