> Hey, people know who I am, right?

Who's a good little cancer-free cocker spaniel? Is it Dallas? I think it is.

Good girl, Dallas. No cancer? Cookie!

Birthday fabulous. Racing really fabulous. Earache of the suck, but gone now.

Skimmed the week (after shamelessly resucking for my birthday wishes cause they were lovely, thank you all) and am certain I missed things.

Also burning kleenex in the fireplace and calling it HomeHazMat work is really not so very amusing that it makes up the for the allergies, but it still amuses. Lots of tissues going up in flames... Why must the pretty city try to kill me with plant sex?

Stranger Danger! Run for your liiiiiiiiiiiiives!

Pfft. Remember, Ozzie knows where you live.

I have a massive Bruise of Unknown Origin (BOU!) on my ankle. Are you sure you haven't already told him where to find me?

Love the pics, Robin! Happy, pretty people!

I don't need it, but it's beautiful

Just focus on this. Especially if you could afford it. We have to have stuff we don't "need."

ITA, which is very different from "ita," who I'm agreeing with.

Timelies!

I loaded the page wrong, or loaded the page twice, or whatever. At any rate, whatever I did made me jump over a lot of stuff, and there's no way to get it back that doesn't involve more effort than is currently at my disposal, because there's not enough GRONK in the world, today.

That said...

SHE'S FINE SHE'S FINE SHE'S FINE SHE'S FINE SHE'S FINE!!!!!!!!

It's benign. Sooooooooooo relieved. So very very relieved.

YAY! I'm so so so happy for you and Dallas, Trudy.

Also?

Robin and the WBBF are even cuter together than I'd imagined. I've seen pictures of Robin, but never of the WBBF. Thanks for linking that here, Robin.

Finally, and in conclusion, I'd finally trained myself not to type "Lee" and to stick to "Perkins" and what happens?

Me, I'm going with Leperkins, kind of like leprechaun.

After some protest, Mallory went down for a hella long second nap (despite the landlord's daughters blasting their stereo and screaming) and I've run out of things to do while waiting for him to get up so we can go swimming. This is a new and interesting situation.

Leperkins

Sort of sounds like a new troll doll with interesting diseases if you dip it in cold water, and get rid of them with warm!

I still had to go back and change Perkins to Lee...err other way around... before I hit post, so I'm good. Except for where I compare her to a leprous troll doll.

Timelies. I think the gronk is gonna need a pot of coffee today.

HEY

eta: Don't wanna be a troll doll. Maybe I need to change my name...

To Leperkins? I think that won't work out how you think.

Deena, you are so right about the gronk.

Despite the gronk, I think I'm going to make strawberry shortcake for breakfast.

My mom's shortcut for the shortcake, heh, was to make really simple drop-biscuits (using Jiffy baking mix or Bisquick to make it even quicker sometimes), but add about a tablespoon of sugar to the batter and sprinkling a little bit on top. So they're very lightly sweet, but fluffy and warm from the oven. They only take about six or seven minutes to bake, IIRC, and so so good.
