I had a friend who use to make acorn bread. He made it rarely, because apparently it was a pain in the butt to make. Probably due to those "lot of steps" Typo Boy mentions. The bread was pretty good. Very dense, very black, very filling.

I got a package from the Squirrel Store! I got a package from the Squirrel Store!

I am stupidly happy about this. Especially given I've already got about ten days of meds pre-filled in the old sucktastic syringes and need to use those before the new ones.

But I got a package from the Squirrel Store!

What is an acorn muffin? (I mean, are acorns edible for humans?)

THANK YOU! I am very concerned that amyth is becoming a squirrel. Or, possibly she meant A corn muffin.

People today has been way too emotional and it is supposed to be my day of no worries. do not like, but everyone is seemingly trying to rally at the end and pull it together attitude-wise. When things started going south I just made no attempt to hold it together and bawled at both of my parents. yes, mac is frustrating, yes it's understandable to feel that way, but mom, Friday is the one day a week you get him from school, that is not the day to scream at me about him and get all worked up. Mac can feel that kind of negative emotion immediately and ultimately I am the one who has to bring him out of the negative places it takes him. Basically I told my dad to tell her to pull it together for the one afternoon that I am supposed to be carefree and do me stuff. Jesusita.

I'm sorry they aren't providing more ease. Mothers, mang.

It is cold and snowy, and I am sick. I went to the store after work because I was already dressed for it, so why not? And I just agreed to meet a friend for brunch because I feel like I hibernated way too much of 2010.

If I can take DayQuil and drag myself to work, I can take DayQuil and drag myself to a restaurant for to giggle about Hawaii Five-O.

Oh, msbelle, phooey. I wish you could have had your carefree day.

They opened in 1982! I don't know about The March Hare, but I'm going to look for it. I also never knew you lived in this area!

I lived in Paoli from ages 1 to 6, and Malvern from 6 to 13. Are you in WC proper? My geographical sense of the area sucks sense I was so young when we moved. Seriously, I thought WC was way farther away than five miles.

she needs to be on meds and in family therapy, but she is the one who always has nothing to say, things are fine. stupid repressed non-dealing mom.

I'm hiding out in the office while they all play a board game. I told them all I needed more time since they made me cry during dinner.

people, can you all help me find a funky cool light fixture for my garage. I want something flowery or chandeliery. Am also in the market for a mid-century traditional (not modern) swag light for the living room.

Oh hai. I know that one.

Oh, msbelle, I'm so sorry. I hope she can see that repressing isn't going to get her (or you, or mac) very far.

Are you in WC proper?

We are, right in the borough. Love it, too.

Smonster, did you ever make it to the Reader's Forum in Wayne?
