Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes my underwire set off the alarm, some times it did not. According to the security officers it was a matter of temperature.

Wait, what? I need more information on this. Warmer or cooler sets them off? You never know when you'll have to sneak your, uhm, underwires through security.

“Not dead yet!”

"I'm trying to find an antique store I heard about between here and Edmonds. I don't know its name so I can't look it up, but it has a rusty plow in the front yard."

Ha! I might just try that, although he may not buy it from me. "You ALWAYS know where you're going..."

Perhaps if I just bribe him with brownies...

Speaking of food, tonight's dinner was fairly divine. Peppered beef tenderloin seared, then finished off in the oven with onions, carrots, and rosemary from my own garden! OMG... I need to see what else I can plant in there and not kill. Also, identify what else is currently growing in there.

Our wings are not tired.

Barb, whole family scavenger hunt Bingo. Each of you think of 5 things you want to "find" (can be common or not). Place everyone's items in rows/columns of 5 in various orders (on different cards). Head out. Cover your "items" as you find them - first with 5 in a row wins!

I just made that up. Sometimes being a camp counselor for all of those years really does pay off.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Barb, that sounds yummy! We had roasted vegetable over quinoa with a salad and red wine.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am bored.

After spending 3 hours in Urgent Care this morning, turns out that both Emeline and I have strep. Mine is pretty bad. Like, my tonsils are touching bad. Pain so bad I haven't eaten or slept in two days and the very nice doctor gave me Vicodin and mega-ibuprofren.

I'm finally getting some cream of mushroom soup in my tummy, and I got a nap today, but now I'm bored.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Poor Lewis, though, he hates just aimlessly going with no destination in mind--he wants to know he's going somewhere to do something. I suggested we drive to Edmonds and he was like, "Why?"

"Because you took my hammer, and now I own you."

Matilda climbed over everything while we snacked on a lovely indoor picnic of baguette and cheese and salami and olives and hummus. She conked out and we played the game Ticket to Ride which was much fun. The last time we had played it was with Scola, so we spoke of his skill as a railroad baron.

Ticket to Ride is a great social game, especially with four people. I'm a little burnt out on it now, but it's well designed. I recommend getting the 1910 expansion - it's better balanced with the extra routes and with a "Most routes completed" bonus.

Oh, yuck. I hope you're both better soon.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Do your tonsils look like Kermit eyes, Aims? And you haven't collapsed semicomatose into bed from lack of sleep? Poor Aims. I hope the drugs do their job well and quickly.

I wouldn't be awake long enough to be bored.

Thanks. Em's doing better than her mother, for sure. My fever has gotten up to about 102, whereas Em's has stayed below 100. I know that getting chiken pox as an adult is a lot harder to handle, but I wonder if that true for most "childhood" illnesses cause damn this strep has knocked me the eff out.
