I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thanks Kat, that makes a lot more sense.

I think the cookbook I was using must have had a typo because it was calling for 1 cup of stock for 1/2 cups masa - my guess is it should have said 1 1/2 cups masa instead.

That does look like a typo. Typos in cookbooks and recipes lead to epic fails!

Okay. I should go work.

I just realized Noah and Grace are now officially too big to benefit from stuff on the Babysteals website. There are no toddler steals, huh?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

We had a dog who loved to bury her Milkbones in our beds, specifically in the fold of the bedspread that was tucked under the pillow. I'd pull the bedspread off to go to bed, and a bone or two would go flying across the room!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We've had cats that enjoyed getting into bed, under the covers, with people. One would snuggle up to a person with her head on the pillow ... cute, but it tended to lead to a faceful of fur.
