Is it really National Caramel Popcorn Day? Wow. How quirky fate is, too--it's no accident that nearly everyone who's ever tasted my caramel corn is in this thread. (It's sticky and you can't get away!) Maybe I should conduct a little Hardcob Cornography this afternoon.
Sassy, it's here.
Maryn, usually more easy-going than that

It really is, I swear. I wouldn't joke about something like National Caramel Popcorn Day. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/...-caramel-popcorn-day-20110406,0,4131564.story
I would like to point out that not having tried Chicago's caramel popcorn, I'm pretty sure I'd prefer Maryn's.

I don't see anything about one. There's a National Popcorn Day in January, but it looks like caramel is the only flavor to get its own holiday so far.

Is there a national 'bunk off work and stay in bed eating tiramsu with a long spoon' day?
And if not, can we patent it?

now i want Maryn's Caramel corn, and I'd like it personally delivered. I'll put the mattress back on the bedframe in the second bedroom and everything.
if you must know, when we were off for a week we dragged the twin mattress out to our living room to have a slumber party (one slept on it the other on the couch) It stayed out the whole week and it is now on its side in the hallway the boxspring somehow collected things in its abscence.
I highly recommend slumber parties in the living room, btw.

hey good for you. i've been so stressed i haven't done anything. I can barely even read as I tend to fall asleep.
I'm writing, but I'm real twitchy, unable to settle on one main WIP.
Sassy, your post reminded me we haven't had a power failure this winter, and I think not last winter either. That's when we have slumber parties, in the room with the fireplace. We also drink and play board games, and cook out (because our kitchen is all electric). It's quite fun! (Darn reliable electricity, grumble-grumble!)

I was out pulling weeds this morning and approached by a group of itinerant landscapers. In broken Spanglish, the leader tells me that the guy who takes care of my landscaping died recently and he's taking over the care and maintenance of everyone's yard.
Um, I'm the guy who takes care of my landscaping.
Carol, dead guy

You smell surprisingly good for a dead guy.
Pretty decent scam, though. I bet at least some people fall for it.

It could get up to 80 this weekend, then drop back down into the 50's the next week. Spastic weather. Dangit, pick a (higher) number and stick with it Mother Nature!

Yeah we sleep in the living room when the power is out- it makes it more like an adventure and less of an inconvenience. We're not laying there in our bed stewing over the power being out. But it is not usually out long enough for cooking out in the fireplace. We've never used our fire place...
The first house we bought was in a warm climate. I'd never had a fireplace before. Mr. Maryn, the sweetheart, would turn on the AC to make a fire tolerable, because I liked them so much. Not all the time or anything, but that first year in the house, way before it was ever even chilly.
I used to envision myself writing (by hand!) next to that fireplace, a glass of wine in my hand (which makes for terrible writing, for me anyway). Oddly enough, I was thinner, dressed pretty cool, and wearing makeup, even though I was alone.
Maryn, who still lives in a fantasyland

Mean weatherman lied. It was supposed to reach the upper 50s today. The big plan was to tidy the yard and garden, but I'm not doing that if it's 48.

Mr. Lily is refereeing an outdoor soccer game at 5:30 pm. Kiddo is playing a school tennis match at 4. Me? I'm going to be curled up on the couch with the WIP as the aroma of baked sausages and potatoes fills the house. I win. 
More rain today. Sigh.
But looking warmer for Sunday.
Gonna try to hit the local park.
Long overdue for a walk.
Those are fragment sentences. lol. (so glad it's Friday)

Oh, I'd say the subject and part of the verb are understood in the third one, making it not a fragment.
I didn't get as much done today as I'd hoped, but nothing's gone too wrong today except for a store owner I've known for twenty years sharing his political views. Luckily, I know how to be noncommittal and polite when people are wrong.
Maryn, who likes fragments, and grammar (what a nerd, huh?)
