Hope your hip starts feeling better soon.
Hi Nilly, things sound a bit scary in your part of the world.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.

Hi, Rio! I am an auntie twice over. It's pretty cool. I am working up a nickname set for the both of them: Casper the Amazing Wonder Niece and her Stupendous Sidekick, DeNephew!
(Armadillo is too long and curly a word to work in circus barker style.)
I spoke to one of the Wonder Parents last night, and she was very cheerful and mentioned that DeNephew has a smushed nose and looks like a very old man. One expects that will improve over the next few days, and by week's end he will look like a very young man, as he ought.

Congratulations on the double aunt-hood!

Are you ready to be strong?
Aww, I love that wrinkly old-man face that newborns have. Congratulations, Nutty!

Let's talk about breakfast
Can we talk about timely-meals, instead? Those silly timezones.
For dinner, I'm going out to eat with a friend. So I'll probably have a good yummy one, with good company, too. Seeing as tomorrow is a fast, that's important.
So I'm having for dinner what you're having for breakfast: a don't-know-yet. The timezones tried to set us apart, but they failed!
[Edit: Gud! Always good to post with you! How are you doing?
And things look seriously scary around here, today. Friends of mine got calls to stay alert for being called for reserve duty and so forth. Oy.]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I spoke to one of the Wonder Parents last night, and she was very cheerful and mentioned that DeNephew has a smushed nose and looks like a very old man.
A vacuum cleaner will work to fix that. (At least in cartoon-land.)

Nutty, how does DeNephew's mom feel? How does Casper feel?

I had Pepperidge Farm soft-baked oatmeal raisin cookies for breakfast. I guess it's not going to be a good nutrition day. Raisins count, don't they?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Not if you ruin a perfectly good oatmeal cookie with them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It is not a good week for bathrooms. I thought I heard water running and went to check and found a flooded bathroom (not so slowly trickling into my bedroom). Turns out the balloon floaty thing snapped right off. Yuck.
There is a joke here, about breaking ball cocks and not dating someone at the moment but I'm having a hard time finding it. SPP needs coffee.
do you have to refrigerate a cake if the frosting is a ganache of cream and chocolate? (I ask because the frosting is so nice and shiny when you first make it, but dulls when you refrigerate it, and I need to take it somewhere tomorrow night)
Hmm... I've had several chef friends insist people are somewhat bananas with the militancy of food codes/refrigeration and that stuff. I'd say if your apartment isn't hot and muggy it should be fine if its covered. We always kept cakes and half-eaten cakes on the counter in those cake dishes and nobody ever died of it.
