I have way too much work, both 9-5 and freelance, and I'm SO OVER these cramps, and The Boy's ex is in town this weekend. Glurg.
This is the ex who is the polar opposite of me -- she's this outgoing, really bubbly, friendly extroverted person, and she's all dark curly hair Latina stunning, and she's, like, LEGENDARY and beautiful and everyone loves her. And The Boy lived with her for 4 years and almost married her.
Stressed? Me?
I'm this introverted, socially retarded misanthrope who would much rather read comics or a treatise on the semi-colon, for god's sake, than go be all bubbly and bouncy and effusive in a crowd of hundreds. And I'm, y'know, blonde and bland and pale and chubby fat and I'm cranky and difficult and make it really hard for people to even get to know me, much less love me, and I have huge issues that make me an emotional minefield.
So this should be quite the weekend.
Hippo Birdies Jilli.
Trudy - back before we became health conscious our family had a tradition of basting turkeys with our own recipe which was butter, rum, and honey. Just about every nutritional no-no possible, but it tasted good and was never dry.
I'm sure she's wonderful. But for whatever reason they simply didn't work.
And for whatever reason, you simply do.
I'm sure she's wonderful. But for whatever reason they simply didn't work.
She moved to Texas to be with her daughter. And then proceded to ask The Boy to move to Texas.
He's going to take one look at her and wonder why he ever EVER thought I was a good idea.
Also, I'm going to see if I can find the 3rd "Sorcery & Cecelia" as a birthday present to myself.
oooh-- I am about half way through the second one.
Lee - I finally finished the first one that you loaned me. (And I adored it. Thank you!) I should be mailing it (and your dvds) back to you soon.
Happiest of Birthdays to Jilli on Jilli-Day!
Teppy - you are not bland. You are French vanilla with cinnamon and raisins and pumpkin pie spice , with three topping of your choice. and didn't The Boy use the L word? She can't compete with that.
He's going to take one look at her and wonder why he ever EVER thought I was a good idea.
Um. No. Cause, hello? Teppy-tastic goodness.
eta: Tep-loving x-post!
I can brine for eight and dry overnight. Is it worth doing if I do it for 12 hours?
Yes.

I'ma hafta come over there and smack some sense into you.
Teppy, don't be silly. The Boy LUVRES you. You're all good.
Also? On "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", there was a gaucho put-down this past weekend. Just thought the gaucho-haters might appreciate it.
