somewhere only we know...

It's been a long time since I really posted on this blog, and even longer since I posted on my "serious" blog. Whatever.

I stopped by the Dupont Circle farmer's market this morning. I had meant to go to the H Street Market yesterday, but realized I had left my wallet at work near Farragut Square, and I didn't have time to fetch it before the market closed. Someday I'll make it to that market, I swear. The Dupont market was fine; full of yuppies with designer babies and $400 emo glasses, but I bought the most fantastic (if slightly expensive) tomatoes. I made a great sandwich - toast, mayo, a thick slice of bright red tomato. I could eat a thousand tomato sandwiches. (Name that book/movie!)

This afternoon was an Ikea run; they didn't have the coffee table I want *again.*



Still I got a chest of drawers



and a floor lamp



along with some smaller things. I've always been cranky about having to do my own bagging at Ikea... well... now you have to pay $0.05 per bag. Screw that -- I stuffed the small things in my purse and just threw the rest in the cart and later the trunk.

This afternoon on a PBS nature special, there was a baby horse that couldn't walk, and the leader of another group of horses BIT it, then picked it up in its mouth and shook it and threw it down on the ground until it was dead. Nature red in tooth and claw and hoof, apparently.
