toes are sticking out of socks

Did I fall into a black hole? (perhaps created by the Large Hadron Collider?) No! Just busy here, is all. Work has been a whirlwind since the start of the semester. In a good way, definitely, but mental space has been limited. Downside: have not been keeping up with the (online) paper + library news + blags. Upside: am not as stressed out as I could be about the upcoming elections or financial services crisis. So everyone wins!
Should have blagged last weekend, but it ended up being full of soccer + sausage and beans for lunch + the freemarket (where I scored an excellent pea soup-colored skirt that fits perfectly, go me!) + visiting friends (complete with super mario galaxy, painting the outside of the house, and a trombone!) + more soccer + the apple festival at the historic house in the park (mmmm, fresh cider + fritters) + courtyard neighbor dinner.
I did break my election media fast to watch Tina Fey on SNL, and have spent the past few days occasionally saying to myself, “I can see Russia from my house!” and giggling.
Hermph, this post is going nowhere. Jonathan said I had to post something tonight because my last post has so many comments. But I’ve been all tapped out of blaggable topics recently. OH! Except that I could mention that Gus’s soccer team is called the Lightning, because they have pale yellow shirts. But for a few moments it looked like they were going to name themselves the Yellow Flamers (not a typo!), which was very funny.

Those are all excellent! I esp. like the yolks — Gus might too, as he’s recently become very fond of deviled eggs.
He was all excited to be playing goalie occasionally (now he’s U8 whereas last spring he was U6 which has no goalies), but then in today’s game he got kicked in the nose and apparently refused to go back in the game after that (I was at home, working). He made the save, though! We’ll see what happens next weekend.
Other names for his team…
The Banana Splits
The Yellow Kids
The Yolks on You
Yell-oh!
