crap. i boiled/soaked/rinsed my beans last night (small white beans)... then piled them in the crockpot with some other ingredients around midnight. i wasn't thinking, though, and tossed tomatoes in, forgetting that acidic food goes in *last*... the beans are STILL tough. did i ruin them? are they going to soften?

time to unplug the laptop (thunder), put on pants, and find a screen repair shop.

windows, flyering, stink

after driving around in the pounding rain trying to locate a specific window place, i gave up. i bought some bread for boy (sunflower wheat. YUM) and came home just as the rain ended. i looked through the phone book... decided it would be easier and safer to just fess up to the landlord and found out which window place he uses. there's no brand anywhere on these windows or their tracks...

*sigh*

tonight is flyering night for the_dawning. YAY! if it's not too horrid out, i think we'll walk downtown nd take the trolley to the corner.

i need to go hang up some tshirts.

i bought a polyester shirt at the dollar store a couple weeks ago. it smelled fragrant, as most store-bought clothing does, so i washed it with two rinses... it smelled like vinyl and rubber, as did the tights i bought at the same store. so i soaked it in dry milk and water for couple hours, then washed it again... it STILL SMELLS. i have it hanging up to dry. maybe it will air out. i don't understand the smell, either. it didn't smell like this before. i hope the smell dissipates, because it's making me sick and i REALLY LIKE THE SHIRT.

ahem.

weather, weather...

according to weather dot com, our current situation is "thunder in the vicinity".

no shit? i could've sworn that my neighbors were just catapulting bowling balls onto the other neighbors' tin roof.

and the thunderstorm warning let us know that trailer homes are likely to be blown about.

well, yeah? don't people who live in trailers know that they're sitting tornado/windstorm bait? do they not teach this in schools around here?

i filled out originalcynic's survey and LJ ATE IT.

anyone need a ride down to the corner for flyering? we'll either drive all the way or we'll park downtown and take the trolley (in which case, we'll leave soon).

my cellphone has no minutes, so don't try calling it. email or call our home phone.
