(And I can't imagine just eating it on its own, i.e., NOT as a sauce of some kind, with that much cream in it. Broccoli doesn't hold up as a puree the same way potatoes do.)

Yeah, when I was being tormented on the treadmill watching her make it, I was waiting for the serve-over-pasta-or-ooh-maybe-a-baked-potato step, and thought that maybe I just missed it. But no; it's intended to be a side dish on its own, which seemed odd.

Okay, I am so over the whole pregnancy hormone thing. I should be able to look at new baby sibling preparation books on Amazon without getting choked up, goddamnit!!

ND, I think your motivation and mine ran away to Tahiti. I haven't seen mine since Thanksgiving.

I am ignoring the Refuge's request/advice and taking kitty to see my vet. I don't care, I'll pay. I just need to know she's getting quality care for once.

Blergh. I went home sick for the first time ever. I am taking a bona fide sick day.

mucho ~ma, smonster. Hope you & kitty both have a better time of it soon.

Chill~ma for Taz and Nora.

I can have bacon for me, but it can't go in shared dishes.

Which randomly reminds me that you still need to come out to San Diego for a visit so I can take you to Corvette Diner for a Rory Burger (Peanut Butter Bacon Burger, OMG SoGood).

Sorry you're feeling bad, P-C. Home & rest should do wonders.

ION: Everybody who saw "It's Complicated", y'all remember the joke about "Do you want me to set you up with that guy I didn't like on Match.com?" I'm currently emailing with a guy my best friend got matched with on eHarmony. Truth = Stranger than Fiction.

I was crying over way sillier shit.

I managed to hold it together until I found one called I Used To Be The Baby, and then I had to close the window and run to the bathroom. Because I am a hormonal WRECK.

Jess, I am not even pregnant, and I tear up at the title.

Dylan is going to be an awesome big brother.

Debra Medina, the crazy lady who is running for Texas Governor, looks a lot like our Aimée, who is not crazy at all.

Sorry Jessica, the hormones tend to win.

I think you should get this book. We have an old copy that used to be DH's, and we read it to Franny. And later Isaac (not because he was going to be a big brother, just because he liked it).
