I'd whip the drinks, but I'm much more likely to tie them up.

please to come take the peeps, jellybeans, and salted cashew nuts out of my house. Easter's left me with a pile of Bad Things To Eat, a DH who tries to hide it on the high shelf that I can only see the underside of (but I do own a stepladder), and a toddler who asks for 'happy beans!' first thing in the morning. There is (oops, was) a bag of starburst jelly beans on my desk - bad thing. very bad.

Ooh, the starburst jelly beans are GOOD! However, I have already taken half of my GINORMOUS easter basket goodies to work (and see that inroads were made on them while I was gone, so I'm glad). Of course, I also then bought fudge while in the airport, so...yeah. But tonight, I"m being good, and since I was not hungry, all I ate was some yogurt (I figure skipping dinner entirely, no matter how late/how much I ate for lunch, is not good).

Also, "happy beans" is adorable, Sox.

Daisy, the bag of sand cracked me up. Did he seriously FORGET he'd had a big bag of sand, and then think you magically made it appear? OMG.

Sox-baby (Iris) has not slept past 6 am (and usually not past 5) since she was born.

This and the middle-of-the-night sleep dep are the reasons I'm not sure I should ever have children. I do NOT do well on no sleep. It's one of the reasons I discarded "doctor" as a career path--I figured I'd never make it through intern/residency.

if there's a chance I could talk a pal into a buffy night in the lounge/movie viewing area of his restaurant, is there interest?

Sure! Where is it? There's a Buffy musical showing at teh Avalon in NW DC this summer at some point...

Raq is a DCista NEXT MONTH! WHoot!

if I'm in a rush on my way to work, I probably wouldn't notice a busker, either. They're kind of common, no?

Actually, not in DC. They're currently forbidden from playing in the metro stations (he was technically outside the station. apparently the metro board is testing having approved people do it on occasion, butm ostly, no. There's a "live online" chat at the WaPo with more info). That said, I'd probably be someone who listened to it on the way up the escalator, went "gosh, that's nice, and he sounds like he's pretty darn good!" and went on my merry way--I'm not one to stop adn listen and throw money, I admit. But then, I'd much rather *play* classical music than listen to it.

I'd whip the drinks, but I'm much more likely to tie them up.

You say that like it is a bad thing.

Don't make me get a paddle.

Yes, Sir.

*pulls the cushions closer to the wall brackets*

Oh wow, when did we get these installed?

Could you grab my eyes while you're down there? I think they rolled out of my head.
