Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
msbelle, you should have seen my face when the daycare at the gym explained to me how much time Olivia spent in the vibrating bouncy seat they have for babies. *sigh*
We had to figure out our FSA/insurance annual enrollment this week, too. With us, it's always like tossing a dart at a dart board, rather then careful examination of our previous years' out-of-pocket expenses.
Oh fuck, FSA allotments are due. I have no idea if I even came a little bit close this year. Probably not, since I've forgotten to keep most of my receipts.
I'm not worrying about health care (maybe $120 minimum would still be too high with copays?) But the day care we get is only $5000 which would be half a year. Though I don't know if it's better to do that or just to write off the whole sum. Probably do the pre tax up to $5000 then to do the rest as a tax deduction.
Other random question then sleep.
I have split peas. I want to make split pea soup. I can't find a ham bone at any of the groceries I go to. What should I do?
Do you have a butcher or a Honeybaked Ham store anywhere near you, Kat?
Yep. There's a honeybaked ham not so far away. Will it cost a fortune?
Nope, not at all. And the nice thing is, they usually come with a nice chunk of meat on them, so you have plenty to flavor the soup.
Does Steph live in Cincinnati? Because I just read that Margaret Cho will be there Saturday, and will be joining the local Prop 8 protest and singing!
In MY city? I mean, that's awesome, but -- the HELL???
t edit Apparently she's in town for a stand-up show. Cool.
(Also, at the exact -- and I mean to the MINUTE -- time that the protest is supposed to happen, we have appointments to get our very very VERY stinky dogs bathed and groomed. This is going to be hard to juggle.)
I am so tempted to make my FB status "is about to tell her son that it will fall off if he doesn't leave it alone."
Hey, that's private time!
I have split peas. I want to make split pea soup. I can't find a ham bone at any of the groceries I go to. What should I do?
My package of split peas came with a "ham flavoring" packet. I'm dubious but do not have a ham bone, either. I should remember to get one from the meat counter.
I tried a new breed of apple today--Haralson. It was yum!
