- 09:31:29: Started out the day reading the Sunday @LATimes -- one of the things I most miss about LA. A day late, but our local paper takes Monday off.
- 15:45:41: :whines and moans: RT @maureenchild: @ginablack Nope, they really don't, Gina! Synopsis is still the worst part!
- 15:46:41: @elengrey It would only be "sucker" if you came over here to move my gazillion pounds of books. (The furniture has already been moved BTW.)
- 15:49:24: @KerensaBrougham OUCH!
- 16:41:06: @elengrey Hoping the Advil does the trick for you m'dear.
- 16:42:27: @Mary_Strand Just sent you a friend request.
- 18:40:46: @jasonporath Bravo!! Encore!!
- 21:48:05: @modeknit So pretty! What is it?
- 21:50:58: @mariannedonley @maureenchild so of course my DH bought 2 big cans when he usually only buys one. He's making pumpkin cheesecake. Mmmm.

- 09:17:03: So @homedepot is now advertising my BRAND NEW washer and dryer for $500 less.
- 09:46:07: Being overcharged like this makes me want to gnash my terrible teeth and roar my terrible roar.
- 10:03:42: @maureenchild I'm going to give it my best and hope it works, although I've discovered that stomping softly sometimes gets better results.
- 10:17:43: @maureenchild Exactly. It's how well one handles the crescendo. ;)
- 14:49:24: . @homedepot has proved there IS justice in the world. Didn't have to stomp anything. They were lovely and gave me the price difference.
- 16:13:46: @maureenchild And we're talking almost $500 of a price difference. Hello Christmas. :)
- 16:14:37: @courtneymilan LOL! My cat won't even get on one of those.
- 17:00:14: The aroma of russian tea cakes just out of the oven is filling my house. Nom nom. Mmmmm.
- 18:00:10: @LynnDaniels I don't remember that from any of the Pooh books.
- 20:35:09: @Mary_Strand Would love to see a pic. I've never done outside lights. Maybe this year since we now have a house. :)
- 20:37:29: @maureenchild Congrats on finishing your synopsis! Do they ever get easier?
- 20:39:02: @lizziehahn I've never put turnips in a pot roast. Maybe I should, huh.

- 18:49:24: Sitting under my electric throw (a.k.a. 'the warm') and feeling nice and toasty. Now to stay awake.
- 18:52:25: LOL about the sequels to FITA and the Gospel of St. Peter. @ColleenLindsay I might be sad when you get to 0; this is such fine amusement.
- 18:55:20: @dpeterfreund I can't do t-day w/o stuffing and gravy. I know that's 2, but they go together. (Tho one year we did sushi and it was yumm!)

- 06:56:30: For the first time in over a year all my things are in one house. No more storage! Now if I could only find the stuff I'm looking for . . .
- 08:48:51: @carleenbrice I've had progressives for quite a while, but as I recall it took me almost a week to be fully adjusted.

- 19:28:34: I am a day or two behind on Tweets and I doubt I'll ever catch up BUT my laptop is working better than it has in years. Maybe ever. :)
- 19:41:10: The reason my laptop is working better is it had a heat sync and battery transplant and a bit of plastic surgery around the keys.
- 22:11:04: We bought fruit trees today: meyer lemon, satsuma mandarin, and ruby grapefruit.

- 03:26:43: @TessaDare My husband watches it endlessly too. I wish I could summon the enthusiasm.
- 03:56:19: Up in the middle of the night watching the Right Coast Tweeters beginning to post. I should really go back to sleep. If only I could.
- 08:22:11: @TessHarrison I did get back to sleep and slept IN! (Which for me means to almost 7:30--it's a miracle!) :)
- 19:19:46: @melissa_marr I completely agree about the FB fan thing. It's quite awkward.
- 23:48:45: @gwenhayes Yay Hank!! So glad he's back.

- 08:24:34: It's a foggy day in Lompoc town . . .
- 08:40:12: @alisonkent Pop culture references could do it too.
- 08:51:01: @DeidreKnight my son always felt betrayed by the exceptions in our language.
- 08:51:51: @LisaKenney Yup yup. We moved here about a year ago. It's very peaceful. A good place to write.
- 17:28:04: @KatieAlender Happens all the time. Hey . . . wait . . . don't run away!
- 17:48:05: It's @neilhimself 's fault. He blogged about Kenneth Graham which reminded me of my Reluctant Dragon recording by Boris Karloff. So . . .
- 17:49:18: I set in search of it on the internet and can find it NOWHERE. Caedmon Recordings is now Harper Collins but they have not re-released.
- 17:50:46: So I may need to figure out how to xfer my record (which is hiding somewhere in the boxes in the garage) to MP3 because . . .
- 17:51:12: When Boris Karloff begins by saying, "Shall I tell you a story?" it's pure magic. #TheReluctantDragon

- 07:23:02: A little sad because my cat has moved out of my bedroom and into one of his own. He doesn't need his own bedroom because HE'S A CAT. :sigh:
- 07:29:35: @angelajames I'd love a Google Wave invite if you have an extra. :)
- 08:11:58: @carleenbrice Go Carleen go!
- 09:27:55: @JoAnnRoss Go JoAnn go! That's excellent time--and endurance!
- 17:52:49: @angelajames Did you get the email I sent with my addy? ginablack AT gmail.com
- 19:12:59: @angelajames Mine has not arrived and is not in spam. Hmmm. Must be patient . . .
- 19:17:38: @angelajames Ahhhhhhh. I missed your earlier tweet, but now I've found it. Thanks again! :)
- 22:40:12: @DaphneUn What a great piece of art!

- 07:38:10: My escrow closed two weeks too early for us to be able to claim the new tax credit. #yougottalovethegovernment
- 15:59:05: We are now getting the paper everyday. The reason for this miracle? The DH went to their office and talked to them in person.
- 16:00:13: @carleenbrice ooooh that sounds delicious. Wish that lucky guy a happy birthday from me too. :)
- 16:01:30: @ColleenLindsay They DID?? WTF. :( They essentially censored your post about censorship? What is going on with this world . . . ?
- 16:03:03: @JoAnnRoss Congrats on finishing the revisions!
- 16:04:22: @JoAnnRoss A dishwasher? I'm still in the market. (Remember the Sears fiasco?) Haven't been able to figure out which one to get since then.
- 16:08:00: @MegMegMegMeg Except, of course, on Mondays because they don't do newspapers here on Mondays. I guess the news takes the day off.
- 16:09:36: @ColleenLindsay I hope that's all it was. I would hate to think otherwise.
- 16:09:45: @NathanBransford That was the 11th commandment, but it was in 4 pt. font so no one has ever been able to read it.
- 18:22:26: @JoAnnRoss I had a Whirlpool in my last home and was happy with it (except it wouldn't put the dishes away!). Prolly time for another.
- 21:32:15: @Ginger_Clark Even on Tuesdays too. ;)

- 10:47:06: @TessaDare Happy Birthday!!
- 10:52:49: Moved shelves into living room. Put DVDs on shelves. Realize half of them are in another box. Can't find it. This is how my days are going.
- 12:05:03: @JoAnnRoss Have you ever tried Scrivener? http://bit.ly/6H1WT I love it.

- 06:49:23: Why do I keep waking up at 5am?
- 07:07:13: What are the things called that hold the shelfs on a bookcase? They look like metal or plastic plugs.
- 07:41:00: @mariannedonley I bet that's it! Thanks Marianne. (We seem to have . . . um . . . misplaced a number of them--all different--while moving.)
- 07:49:31: @mariannedonley No Lowes here, but I checked Home Depot and theoretically they have them. Today is the day of reckoning for my bookcases.
- 07:52:10: @amazoniowan Have found out it's pegs. Brackets end up being those big things that hold shelves up on walls.
- 08:12:02: @mariannedonley Thanks for mentioning that. I will be sure to do so.
- 20:46:53: Remember how I dropped a bottle on my ankle and it turned blue? Not it's green. And big.
- 21:23:11: . @Chumplet @upnorthwriter @TeresaBodwell It's actually stopped hurting (mostly), which is why I haven't had it xrayed. Just a baaad bruise.

- 07:47:56: @carleenbrice Wow! You will be pencil thin in no time if you keep at it! ;)
- 08:25:12: @carleenbrice LOL. Seems like you are well on your way.
- 08:26:10: @elengrey Thanks Elen!
- 09:29:34: I love my webhost (http://www.f2s.com). How can you not adore a company that signs their emails "Kind regards"?
- 11:58:09: I just ordered a new stove exhaust fan filter. Life is very exciting for a new homeowner.

- 09:32:48: In the past 10 days, we've gotten our paper twice. Majorly annoyed. About to quit getting the paper because we aren't getting it anyway.
- 14:28:48: Dropped a bottle on my ankle and it's turning blue. (The ankle, not the bottle.)
- 14:30:55: @maureenchild Hey Maureen! I've called. And called. And called. It doesn't seem to inspire fulfillment of the paper. Now it's DH's turn.

- 19:22:19: @lisa_schroeder My condolences, Lisa, but glad your grandparents are together.
- 19:24:48: Discovered yesterday that old dishwasher has the most amazing sparkly buttons behind a sliding panel. May have to fix it after all.

- 07:26:32: @elengrey Most of my stuff is here except for a half dozen bookcases, the art collection, china, and other bits of furniture. So almost.
- 07:30:07: @Janet_Reid I like Pip. Brings to mind Great Expectations.
- 07:36:46: @courtneymilan Congrats on the PW review!
- 08:04:52: What are those window blinds called that roll down and snap back up? Do they still make them?
- 08:13:11: I can't find my slippers. They're just first on the list of what I can't find. I expect I'll spend the next two months looking for things.
- 08:14:19: @LisaKenney Yeah. Those are them. And they'd get longer longer as you pulled down down down. Then finally SNAP they'd be back up.
- 13:20:50: @amazoniowan Thank you Heidi. I'm going to look for them now that I know what they're called.
- 13:21:28: @LouisaEdwards I'm so sad you live so far away because I'd just show up for dinner one night if you were near. ;)
- 13:22:35: @LisaKenney I'm going to try to find some and make curtains to go in front of them. Just pull down the shades when I need it really dark.
- 13:25:54: I've got to try this too! RT @angelajames Do You Grow Dishcloths? : TipNut.com http://ow.ly/xYDr I am SO doing this next year.
- 19:19:02: @TeresaBodwell I think I found some plain old-fashioned ones on Google.
- 19:20:31: @LisaKenney Oooooh thanks Lisa! I *love* buying things on sale. Even roller shades. ;)
- 20:18:38: @courtneymilan When dealing with someone who is massively offensive, it's best not to engage. That's usually what they want.
