"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

It's funny to me how there are some basic things that never occur to me. Like asking a butcher for a specific cut. Of course, I wouldn't know what to ask for, anyway.

Oh, I didn't either. I just happened to be in the neighborhood of Mollie Stone's with my new cookbook, and I knew my local Safeway very seldom had anything but lamb chops. Most of the recipes call for shoulder, but there were 3 different shoulder cuts. That's why I loved these butchers; they really wanted to help me get the right thing and a good deal.

Cash, does your insurance have one of those "call a nurse" lines? Seems like that'd be a good use of those if they do...

Wimbledon starts broadcasting at 6am LA time, so the west coast is likely behind. Couldn't tell you what had aired here already, but since we're usually oblique about it (cf posts above), why spoil anyone else?

I thought that the spoiler policy was anything broadcast on EST was fair game?

Cash, if Liv is feverish or seems uncomfortable, I'd go urgent care; otherwise, doctor in the AM. It sounds like it could be infected, but if she doesn't seem sick it can probably wait.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know how it is in US, but here giving a letter to take with you and read only when you're on the plane is almost a custom among friends. That, or small gifts, such a pad to write in your thoughts.

It is not like that here! I really like it, though.

Theo, my mother is always bitching about the damn birds. Heh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In Natter? Never been stated across the board.

Is there any harm in me cushioning anyone that came after? It's been general custom with sports scores and reality show results, and I don't get why it's a big deal now.

does your insurance have one of those "call a nurse" lines? Seems like that'd be a good use of those if they do..

I've found those to be chronically usefulless, but I'd be curious to see what they'd respond with if it's not as simple as reading WebMD (which is all I've gotten from either of mine).

Yeah, I think we whitefont current competitions here. If anything, it's the literal application of:

I just burned my hand pouring hot caramel syrup into a glass bottle without a funnel. It hurts!

Man, the Facebook "you might know" feature is throwing up some doozies today. Including one person that is now called Brahm, but I think I knew as Scott. Actors. @@

There's another person that showed up that I went to theatre school with and had a big running joke about him being "my one true love," which we had to stop when his girlfriend arrived because she did not take it well. But his profile pic is cute babies. I want to see if they're his, but I don't really want to friend him.

Sophia! Mind the hot caramel!

Sunday: Dressed Matilda in megan's lovely dress from France, topped with a pink barrette. Maximum cuteness achieved.

Took Emmett to gopher-hole riddled field for batting practice (using tennis balls). Line drives were hit. Pedestrians threw the balls back. A redtailed hawk circled us and we heard it make it's redtailed cry.

Returned home to eat chips and salsa and drink Guinness (me) and Wildberry Crystal Geyser (him) and watch Invader Zim (for the first time in a year). "This one has head pigeons."

Day so far: Genius!
