I had bananas in my oatmeal this morning if we're still keeping track.

Was it here that people talked about Ace of Cakes? Cause it's cute, and they pull together *amazing* cakes. Although I'm not sure why one would want a Scottish cow cake, but whatever turns you on...

That was for my friend's wedding!!!! Scotland played a big part in their courtship that's why the highland cow.

Instead I'm sitting here Ilan-style with my hoodie on, watching TV off my DVR.

Hah! I was wearing a skullcap and two! hoodies this morning (for a walk out in the bitter cold) and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and thought "I look like freakin' Ilan!"

Hee! Of course, now we know why he was always like that in the interviews.

I have a bottle of wine in my house, if that helps any, Jesse.

I suspect it does not.

Sadly, you are correct.

I have a open bottle of wine in my house, Jesse, in case that helps.

I am so out of it. I know not of Ilan.

I'm also drinking not of the wine. But my undies are purple, so there's that.

I am not allowed bananas for the next little while. Which makes my cereal just a little bit sad. For variety, I'm making buttermilk pancakes every now and again, and throwing a handful of blueberries on.

Now I'm going to have buttered toast and a clementine.

I have a open bottle of wine in my house, Jesse, in case that helps.

Still no help!

Ilan is from Top Chef.

Of course, now we know why he was always like that in the interviews.

Little man was cold!

I have a open bottle of wine in my house, Jesse, in case that helps.

I have unopened bottles of wine in my house (including a bottle of champagne in a bottle cozy that my friend knitted for me!) and I'm not drinking until April. (also no help but same coast anyway)

Although, who am I to talk, because I'm sitting here wishing I had a bottle of wine in the house, but not enough to put outside pants back on to go buy one.

Well, yeah, but you're still one up on the Harry Potter/Equus parents. After all, you're not forming a lobbying organization to beg someone else to be responsible for your decisions and think of the CHILDRUN before they stand back and let you sit around not wearing your outside pants.

Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that there's an organization out there that could force society to make sure I always have wine in the house so I don't have to go out pantsless and scar the Childruns? Because I could sign on to that.

You know, when you put it like that, Brenda....

I was just saved from having to go outside! I thought I was out of lightbulbs when my bathroom light blew, but I found one! Jesus must want me to stay in the house like a lazy bum.

Now see, I could totally get behind both Brenda's organization AND Jesse's Jesus.

Why aren't society, politics, and religion designed the way I want them to be?
