'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
OMG, learned a new game last night. *LOVED IT* Apparently it's one of the oldest known board games documented. Senet. I lost, but still liked it. Very topsy turvey game play. Much fun!
Now, it being Sunday, and first day off all week, I am loafing something fierce. Not wanting to go grocery shopping, despite needing it. O ya, and why, on a day I can sleep in, does my body suddenly not understand the concept of sleeping the day away and wake up at 9am!?!?
Annabel stories of the day:
She pronounces "astronaut" as "nastronut."
When I went to pick her up from the 3's and 4's class after church, the teacher told me that she'd been playing with two of the little boys, and that she thought Annabel was the mommy. A high school kid who'd been helping out said, "No, actually, I was listening to them. Annabel was the queen."
hopefully we can all agree that usage ultimately defines a word.
Heh - case in point. (hopefully)
::snerk:: (I always misuse "hopefully." Always. But at least I'm consistent.)
Hopefully. Interestingly! It's wrong, and yet - there's nothing else that quite gets the job done. It is interesting that... it's four words instead of one! and It is hoped that..? Even worse. nnngggghhh illogical!
I can haz oxycodone? Yes!

Oh yeah. I totally gave up on that one. It's just too useful as a misused word.
We have returned home from Daniel's family reunion/mother's b-day party. Dan's mom, Mary, was thrilled with being able to all but 2 of her grandkids.
The sugar free cheesecake was a big hit. One of Daniel's nieces - who, as far as I know doesn't need sugar free stuff - asked me for the recipe. My response was, "Uh... recipe, what recipe?" So I ended up describing the process, while leaving out the bit about me wanting to clobber Daniel for telling me it tasted like "lightly sweet frosting" after I followed his suggestions for what to add.
At any rate, there were 4 pkgs Neuchatel cheese, 1/4 c. Splenda, some (maybe as much as 1 tsp.) liquid Sweet-N-Lo, a few sprinkles of the highly concentrated stevia powder from Trader Joe's, a bunch (maybe 1/4 c.) of dollar store vanilla, some water (at least a half cup, but probably less than a whole cup), and about half a large container of regular whipped topping (the "sugar free" variety actually has more total carbs than the regular). Beat hell out of it in a big mixing machine until it was all smooth and light. For the crust, I crushed up a whole box of Murray's Sugar Free Shortbread Cookies, and smooshed it together with 2 Tbs melted butter. Finally, I topped it with Smucker's Sugar Free Hot Fudge Sauce.
Mary's boyfriend, Ray, suggested this should be the signature dish that I bring to every family gathering.
Just wear a watch with a band wide enough to cover the tat. Or a cuff bracelet that's wide enough to cover it.
That's pretty much my plan. It'd have to be a pretty wide watchband to cover, but even just semi-covering I figure would be good. A cuff bracelet is definitely something I'm planning to find and purchase!
"No, actually, I was listening to them. Annabel was the queen."
Nice!

Or even, in this instance, that dictionaries do.
ok, I have to admit, I am really liking the On Demand thing of Digital Cable. Catching up on WEEDS, and thus avoiding chores.
Oooh, new Weeds tomorrow. I almost forgot. And now we're past the screeners.
