Mmmmmmm, MIMP!!

Good things about my life, put behind a cut-tag as an anti-emetic for them what needs it:



1) A whole month of anniversaries, reminding me how good the last four years have been. (A couple weeks ago, stonebender; Tomorrow someotherguy; Thursday sogwife.)

2) Bread rising on the countertop.

3) Homemade coleslaw.

4) Raspberry-chipotle sauce. Never let me say again that I don't like smoky things.

5) Joy for joy's sake.

6) This response from a contract client (this particular job is all about being detail-oriented): "Thanks Serene, this is very thorough! Almost dauntingly so... I'm glad I'm not the one making the changes."

7) Taking a walk with someone sweet and talking and laughing and smooching until my cheeks hurt.

8) Realizing it's been a while since I've been in this good a mood, and deciding to share it with you and you and you and YOU. :-)

9) Geeking over the proper sauce to go with white bean croquettes. Do you know the likelihood that my former partner would even *touch* white bean croquettes?

10) Work I love, enough of it to pay my bills, and the best/funnest/sexiest cow-orker ever.

11) I'm writing again. I'm writing again! And though writers like sistercoyote and final_girl make me feel all inadequate and shit, the only way to get better is to do the thing, so I'm writing again, yay!

Life. Is. Good.

Lambdabot'll credit it to me anyway, so it's not like I need to further protest my lack of innocence for career purposes!

Hey, I've even made white-bean chocolate-chip cookies!

Hurray for good things!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Were the cookies good?

[pyrzqxgl.livejournal.com]

This (http://www.fatfree.com/recipes/cookies/bean-cookies) was the seriously fat-free version, substituting chopped dried apricots for a bag of chocolate chips. It's been years, but as I remember they were all right especially when warm, but afterward would seem kind of stale because they definitely didn't have that crispiness to the surfaces that you'd get from a high butter content.

Yay for feeling joy for joys sake. I'm happy for you.

Oh, that's wonderful. I need to get back on alt.poly.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

*grin* It wasn't said in alt.poly, but I see where you could make that assumption. :-)

[surelars.livejournal.com]

Ah, OK. Yeah, well, it looked like an a.p kind of line to me.

[flippac.livejournal.com]

If it helps any, at least it was from an a.p poster

[surelars.livejournal.com]

Yeah. serenejournal did provide a source for her quote. Knowing it was you and since it was the kind of wonderful, quirky humor I'd seen you use on a.p before, I assumed it was from there.

[flippac.livejournal.com]

Think about it - what are the odds that I commit lifelong to a single discussion space? ;-)

[surelars.livejournal.com]

Discussion space poly? I'm shocked.

[lcohen]

i was poly about baseball long before i was poly about relationships. also books. i took a lot of flak for the former.

also, hurray for joy for joy's sake, serene!

[surelars.livejournal.com]

Sports team poly? Is that even legal?
