My real disaster dinner was last night. Cream sauce would not get thick and gnocchi overcooked and got mooshy. When I threw away the cucumbers tonight I made a chickpea salad with yellow peppers, red onions and a balsamic vinegarette. The main food was spaghetti with a clam, anchovy, and white wine sauce. It was yummy.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Owen climbed his Little Tikes ladder, which is now set up so you can slide down and land in the inflatable pool, then says, "Too impinity and deonde!"
SO CUTE!!
Bedrest for three weeks at least and then we'll reevaluate.
Eek! Best of luck and plenty of fun-but-horizontal times to JZ!
H'rm. I bet there are several extraneous and borrowable laptops in the family. Time to answer the calls from relatives saying, "What can we do for you?" with "Well, now that you mention it..."
Do it! Do it!
Well, you won't be borrowing my laptop, as she is an ex-laptop
Oh, Em, what dreadful timing! So sorry.
He interrupted us once to say he never watches, and his wife watches too much so he's thinking of getting rid of the TV
I would smack him, were I his wife. Damn.
What are the three best traits I have to offer a partner?
Dude. If I could answer those questions honestly and eloquently, I not only wouldn't be single, I'd be a fucking THERAPIST. Lordy.
Half of the hot dog bun was moldy. How did I *not* notice this? I have turned into Sean. This is the only explanation I have.
EWWWWWWWWWWW. VW, that is NOT GOOD!
I have nothing to report. Work is v. boring, I went to a baseball game tonight but paid no attention, and...yeah, nothing.

Hey. New board.
Suddenly, I find myself vaguely internet-flirting with four completely random girls. One eharmony match, one girl who randomly "poked" me on the facebook, one who is in my fellowship program, and one who I was introduced to by a friend on Friday.
I'm not sure how this happened, or exactly what I'm doing. But it's kind of exhilarating.

Go Gris!
My diner was lovely - we brought our own wine, so we ordered an appetizer out of guilt - artichoke-crab dip, yum! Then we were smart enough to split an entree (lamb) because we already have two meals worth of leftovers in the fridge. The lamb was delightful, the vegetables were absolutely delicious, and the potatoes were every bit as good as they should be. After that we felt virtuous enough to get a dessert each - cherry pie a la mode for me and key lime pie for DH. Wonderful.
Now I am just a little bit stuffed and pleasantly wined. Lovely.
I hope you're asleep by now, Zenkitty.
sj's dinner (ignoring the cucmbers) sounds fantastic.

On my way home from work the other day, I saw an Oscar Mayer Weinermobile going the other way on the Interstate.

Had another bat in the house tonight.
I managed to wrangle it with the fishing net before Harvey and Sammie got it.

You must be getting expert on snaffling bats by now, Daniel.
A's win! We have the sneakiest catcher in baseball history. We totally stole that game. Except for the part where Texas just gave it away. Again, and again.
