Vortex will you marry me?
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Congrats, SJ!

I suddenly want to Nilly the Day of Teacup Nomenclature.
I really am going to try to sleep now, but if someone would do this for me this week it would be the best engagement present ever. I really should have it marked somewhere, but I think it was on the old computer.

heh. my brussel sprouts are awesome. Why? BACON. I usually add a little salt, but I wonder how they'd taste with bacon salt. I must try this.

Suddenly I am filled with remorse that we're doing the catering thing for Thanksgiving this year. I'll have to try your recipe for a less momentous occasion Vortex. And feed them to my brother- he's the other texas cabbage lover in my family.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It starts there, with the teacup details and continues for a bit, sporadically.
Then you move and he helps, aww, and Teacup Guy becomes common parlance.
He becomes aware that he is named as such, and is generally bemused by us, I think.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Woohoo, sj! Congratulations!
Back from baseball game. We forgot to bring a lidded cup for Annabel (usually we bring a cup and give her water, because I don't like to caffeinate a 3-year-old), so when she announced she was thirsty, I took her with me and went to get a cup from one of the food vendors. I bought a bag of kettle corn and asked, nicely, if I could have a little cup with a lid for my daughter. The cashier wanted to charge the full $2.75 price of a youth soda for an empty cup--the only cup she would give me for free was a tiny styrofoam coffee cup with no lid. I stalked off in high dudgeon (clutching the kettle corn, as it was already paid for) and went to the next vendor. I told her we'd forgotten my daughter's sippy, and she gave me a cup for free and asked if we wanted ice. So we now officially like Ivar's/Kidd Valley better than the hot dog, nachos, & kettle corn place. I mean, $2.75 for a PAPER CUP?
There were two happily drunk Indians fans the next section over. One of them spoke to me and Annabel when we were walking up the stairs with our shishkaberries (a necessary part of AB's baseball experience). He said, "Ma'am, is that a chocolate-covered banana and strawberry shishkabob?" I replied in the affirmative, and he said to enjoy it, because it was all I'd find to enjoy about the game. I told him we Mariners fans had had a rough two months and it was unkind of him to rub it in. Pretty nice guy, for noisily drunk. But the fact he called me "ma'am" makes me suspect that my gray hair is starting to show too much. Must get hair colored before writers conference next month...
