I have completed my dutiful son obligations of meal prep, prescription filling, and general Dad-sitting this afternoon. Though I cracked up that Dad's last words to me as I left were about some chore that hecould have had me do at any point in the previous 5 hours.
Made zuchinni-pesto angel-hair pasta with sauteed shrimp tonight, and I'm a bit surprised at how much was left over. I've got at at least 2 large meals left over (or 3 medium ones) after a pretty hefty dinner serving, and I don't recall this particular dish stretching that far. I mean, the half pound of shrimp is extra to the veggie version I usually fix but it doesn't look like that much of the total volume. Oh well, I suppose I should leave a dish of cream out for the Kitchen Fairy since it proved both tasty and more food than expected.
Some people had productive weekends. I would not be among those.
But, I have to say, one of the things I love about my brother is that he'll call on a sunday night (even though I've just talked to him 2 days ago) to shoot the shit, tell me about his weekend spent almost exclusively with the boys, and listen to him parent as they go berzerkers in the background. I'm not close enough geographically, but it allows me to not feel that far, too. Oh & his new cell takes really good pictures and T's eyes are as freaking amazing as they were back in August.
Oh and the personally signed astronaut pic I got D when the guy visited my work? Even though he doesn't say it to me (he was too busy telling me about T's "present" aka a really nasty diaper), is a big hit. Every exhibit that D sees, he'll pick out a fairish mustached guy and declare him to be John G., the astronaut in question.
Cracks me up.
Why did no one tell me America's Best Dance Crew is the most enjoyable thing evar!?!
Is anyone watching Dirt tonight?
I'm busy watching Craig Bierko get molested by an orangutan.
DH and I are watching Dexter
I'd forgotten Dirt existed, then I saw an ad for it during ANTM today and wanted to see it, but Baseball Tonight has taken over our house. Will they replay it soon?
Five letter word for smarty-head word knower? Jesse!
The Fox Network site is appalling, and I can't deal with it anymore. TiVo.com says dirt's airing again at 11:02 (ugh, too late), 1:00am, Tuesday at 11pm, and Friday at 11pm.
