Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
why won't my management company get back to me? I think Tino works there. FUCKING TINO.
I had help tonight for a couple of hours, so I got like double what I would have gotten done alone. I am not balancing all I want to do with what time I should get to bed. At least I didn't plop down and watch any tv.

Tino really seems to be wreaking havoc today.
I am going to try to get to bed early and hope that the extra sleep will do much to improve tomorrow. I feel bad about today. I was cranky pants, which means it was a bad mommy day.
On the upside, I made a recipe from Franny's cooking camp class today and the kids ate it with gusto. Crispy baked chicken fingers. I found it fairly mediocre, but dang, if they eat like that I should make it more often.

Hmm. The scallops were good, and randomly came with a couple pieces of lobster (which...I didn't realize were lobster until she came to take away my plate and was like "...you don't want your lobster?"). But I feel like if a dish says it comes with asparagus, there should at least be as much asparagus as there are pieces of scallops, y'know? There were three stalks of asparagus! That is not a serving of asparagus! That isn't a side of asparagus! That's, like, a GARNISH!
(Edit: but now I am back in the hotel, with TV and wifi and tomorrow I know of a book I want to buy that is coming out, so I will go to B&N and have things to read, and life will be good)

Odd that they indicate asparagus but not lobster on the menu.

That's what I thought, Burrell. I mean...lobster is fancy, don't you usually indicate the fancy schmancy things?

It's also quite a bit more expensive than asparagus. I'm thinking the chef ran low on asparagus and threw in some lobster as a bonus.
But you were not appeased.

Blargh. 11:42, and it's 81 degrees outside. I bet it's 90+ in my room here. And this is Seattle - what's this "AC" of which you smart sun-state people speak?

We don't have such things in the PNW. It's against our religion? No, it's against what our climate is SUPPOSED TO BE.
It's brutally hot here too. 102 today. 85 right now. Warmer inside, of course.
Where's my barely 70 and partly cloudy? I want that.
