Just got back from lunch at, um, Hooters. The DH and our visiting BiL have been out in the hot sun all day chopping down and chipping the fugly orange tree in the back corner of the yard to make room for a raised-bed veggie garden. They were craving wings, plus we had been meaning to go to Hooters as part of my quest to eat once at every cheesy restaurant chain in America, so off we went.

The food was okay, but it was EXACTLY as I thought it would be, which is no compliment.

I was a regular customer at a Hooters in NC because the wings were sooooo good. As in, we'd be full but couldn't stop eating because we wanted the flavour to go on forever.

Wimbledon:

Someone needs to give Andy Roddick a teddy bear. Poor guy.

I have a public service announcement.

If you have an outer ear infection and your face tends to get red when you drink red wine DO NOT under any circumstances drink it while you havethe ear infection. The dialation of your blood vessals will cause immediate searing pain in your ears!

if this happens to you, I did discover that you can actually ice your ear canal with frozen broccoli stems!

Not to mock your pain, Sophia, but I'm now picturing you with broccoli sticking out of your ears.

I am very very sorry for your pain and discomfort but I will have to treasure the image of you with frozen broccoli poking out of your ears.

That tops the summer I spent most evenings wearing a bag of peas on my head b/c my ac was broke!

Oh, you can mock me all you want, because it is hysterical. And brought blessed, blessed relief.

Wimbledon: In no doubt thanks to the over-mention by ESPN2 I had to go check Roddick's twitter after the game (http://twitter.com/andyroddick/) and despite him seeming to update it pretty regularly before, nothing yet. Teddy bear, indeed.

OMG Sophia.
