Grape-Nuts is a breakfast cereal developed by C. W. Post, a patient and later competitor of the 19th-century breakfast food innovator, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Neither grapes nor nuts have ever been ingredients in the cereal. The dextrose in whole-grain kernels was once called grape sugar, and this, combined with the "nutty" flavor of cereal, inspired its name.

Thanks, Beth.
Today is vw's birthday? Sorry for being oblivious. Have a wonderful b-day, may you get a shiny new housemate who actually fits in well! And? anything else you fancy.
Kinda like grapeshot, but different. Slightly.
It was so humid in my apartment this morning that my skin just felt like mush but the weather is changing!
It's all gray and there are some storms moving through the area.
This makes me happy.
Gronklies.
My dear daughter, for reasons unbeknownst to me, chose to wake up at 5:00 this morning rather than her usual 8:00 or so. This of course happens when I'm feeling vaguely sick and sleep deprived. DH had mercy upon me and once it was clear she had no intentions of going back to sleep took her out of the room. I managed another hour of sleep, during which I had a nightmare that I was pregnant again.
Happy birthday vw!
I have no reason for being as fuzzy brained and sleepy as I am. Lack of reason is not sharpening my mind at all. Bow to logic, braincloud!
I am not even remotely mentally healthy enough to spend 5 days with my father in another state next week. I think I may not survive the wedding. Jesus.
ION, the official forecasted high today in Cincinnati is "unholy inferno of suffering and heatstroke." Or, okay, 100. For real. I am fucking sick and tired of this heat. The heat index is supposed to be something insane like 110.
I feel for you as that was my day yesterday. Unholy hot for Chicago. It was a day I set altars to the people who invented air conditioning.
sj and Teacup Guy are too cute.
I need coffee.
