I have a list of cleaning. ( the house is a major wreck from putting in the floor) Instead I am cooking bacon and willsoon turn the left over mashed potatoes into potato pancakes.

tommyrot is good at annoying people.

Really, nothing is hotter than an accomplished girl in a suit, as long as she is willing to settle down and have my children.

Aww, what a romantic. Did he leave his number so I can serve call him? I love when a man thinks of me as a "girl" and a breeder at the same time. That's hot.

OK, this makes up for that dating post: Vampire Cafe

Diamond Dining's first theme restaurant now seems a little dated compared to the flash of Ninja, but it's still got a certain bloody charm. Dark red velvet curtains frame a passageway that is lit from below by a glowing floor of red blood cells; cobwebs drape around the chandeliers; in a nice touch, all the mirrors are broken. The place isn't as bustling as it used to be, and the food is standard modern-izakaya fare, but Vampire Café's attention to detail is excellent, and it remains one of the only theme restaurants in Tokyo that you might actually want to stop by for a quick drink – Bloody Mary, Blood Clot, Blood Orange and Vodka, you name it.

Call me crazy for not wanting to drink anything with "clot" in the name.

I know he's supposed to be just a stellar young man and he's a tremendous player, but I really, really freakin' hate Tim Tebow. Despite all the water on the field, he is NOT Jesus and he can't walk on water, announcer people.

I'm taking advantage of my father's absence to do some dejunking of his place. Like the non-functional microwave that takes up half the countertop (I already gave him my working one a year ago - it perches precariously on a rickety tv table). And the broken bar stool that sits in the corner with a post-it attached - "Careful: broken".

mac is whizzing through homework and not fussing. My gameplan for getting through the story writing he has been struggling through seems to be working (most of his classmates have written 5 stories, he is at 1.5).

Can I just vent on the amount of homework he had on this "break":

- 3 book responses (read a story or a chapter of a story, write 3-5 sentences responding to it, NOT retelling it)
- coloring 5 turkeys, cutting them out, then completing sentences about the 5 senses on the (On Thanksgiving I tasted_________"
- writing a funny story about a Turkey, the beginning of the first sentence was provided, it had to be at least 4 sentences long.
- one 5 page story (3-4 sentences per page) with pictures drawn and colored for each page
- 4 pages of math
- WOTD written 5 times, and 2 sentences using it

That is second grade. I am writing a note to the teacher. How in the hell would a kid that was traveling get through all that?

MsBelle, are you sure all this was assigned JUST before break? Because when I was a kid I would complain about any homework due after break, even if it had been assigned six weeks earlier. Not saying Mac would ever do such a thing.

I spent part of my work day watching John Mahoney being artfully buried in a pile of clothes.
