Safe travels, In-Laws of bt!

(Were they good, Andi?)

Very tasty. Texture wasn't ideal, so anyone thinking of emulating his modifications might want to reconsider. I think vanilla instead of water does something... maybe evaporates too quickly. And I think solid chocolate over cocoa powder might work out better. Still, very yummy with a glass of milk.

Good luck entering the next stage of Ryanness, minus grandparents, bt and wife.

There's a beautiful day outside, and I need to read a hell lot of anthropology papers, and do so NOW. Aside of the minor lack of wanting to do so, the thing that really prevents me from sitting with my lovely bunch of papers in the sun, is the horrid noisy neighbors of mine, which can't stop shouting for the last 4-5 hours. That's how they communicate, and they seem to host their entire tribe today.

Oh my.

Bitches, did we know about Boobquake, this Monday? (you'll have to google it to believe me).

Also? Sephora makes Clinque's black honey in a not-sticky gloss that is moisturizing.

Sephora brand? What's it called?

No one made it to the vet this morning. Long story. Dalmatian still not eating. I think I need a nap.

Erin, TMJ is the devil. Mine's been hurting all week. Hope Dan recovers quickly from his debilitating finger injury! Good luck with the dog and the ex, yikes.

askye, ~ma for your SIL.

Frankie, how about that smonster, huh? You lucked out, dude.

Went out to dinner with the fam last night, to meet oldest niece K.'s latest boyfriend. The subject of Boobquake came up, and we (all women except for Boyfriend) started musing on whether it would be necessary for us to jump up and down to cause the quake, or if merely showing cleavage would be enough. Boyfriend was silent on the matter. In retrospect, maybe we shouldn't be talking about our boobs when new menfolk are listening. My family may be immodest enough to cause some tremors all on our own. But really, if he's gonna be part of the family, he needs to know what he's getting into, as soon as possible, right? It wouldn't be fair to let him think we were normal.

my SIL had to have an emergency appendectomy at 2 am this morning, she's fine. My brother was at the hospital with her.

But my brother and the intern are shooting the wedding.

AND there was more drama , my poor little nephew (he's 20 months old) got his legs caught in the crib railing.

They had to call 911 and fireman came, they almost had to cut the crib apart, but a fireman wanted one last try and I guess my nephew was more relaxed (the firemen were all dads so they were talking to him and trying to keep him not scared) because they got him loose.

And then my nephew was getting fussy when they left and Mom realized he wanted to see the fire truck, so at 3:30 am the firemen showed him the fire truck and finally left and my nephew waved bye-bye and blew kisses.

The firemen also told Mom to bring him by during the day so she's going to call the fire house and find out when that crew was on duty during the day and take them brownies and let E see the fire truck in the day light.

askye, your family needs a little bit of a break!

That is entirely too much excitement for one night. I'm glad that everyone is okay.

Frankie likes carrots: We just got back from a walk. Stopped by my friend's house who has a two year old. Not only was Frankie totally chill, he let her walk him. There is video on my fb page. Plus, he made friends with their huge but calm German Shepherd.

Smonster I am loving the Frankie updates! Cayenne says bring him over so she can teach him how to leap about and play chase games. Chile says she can teach him to lie in the sun doing absolutely nothing.

Frankie sounds like such a fine pup!
