It's not hard to make, but it's not an instant gratification kind of project. Lots of soaking of dried fruit, lots of post-baking basting w/ apple brandy.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

[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.

Mostly lurking...
vw, Aimee's sister's wedding is this weekend (which I only remembered after I called her cel phone), so you might want to post to lj, at least, if you want her to see those.
Oh, right. How did forget that?! Thanks. I'll e-mail it to her.

I thought that punch was retired. It really oughtta be. Or passed on to someone who is still in college.
I tried. I left it up to the people attending the party, it was a question on the invite and it got overwhelmingly requested. I made a smaller batch, and it's actually in a punch bowl this time.
Sorry we won't see you tonight.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Perhaps I'm the only one who just can't drink like that anymore.
Sorry we won't see you tonight.
Yeah me too. I requested to open today and have tomorrow off. I got scheduled to close yesterday, open today and open tomorrow. grr.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
So! In CT for my uncle's funeral. Took my dad to the ER for chest pains today. Fun times!
He's fine.
I'm tired.

I'm just at the point where I'm afraid I'm just going to start laughing hysterically at the funeral or when something else goes wrong.
Like, tomorrow there's supposed to be a "wintry mix" storm and what if someone driving to the wake gets in an accident? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Get it? Because my uncle died in a horrible car accident! Oh, that'd be rich.
Seriously, I think I'm losing it. But, shhh. I have to be strong.
And don't get me started about how my MIL's caretaker quit this week.
Seriously, if it weren't happening to me, I'd totally be suspecting me of drama queenitude.

Nora, you're keeping it very together for all that's going on! And whoohoo on a great haircut.
But YAY you'll be in DC while I am!!!
I am???!!!! We have to meet. I didn't realize our dates overlap.
I am so totally bummed that I am not in LA at K&D's. However, I hope to get my ass to LA in January.

Yay clippers!
And it is totally normal to develop a morbid sense of humor while grieving. Whatever you're feeling is OK and part of the natural grieving process. Don't try to tell yourself that anything you're feeling is not OK.
