Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I love quinoa! I can't eat wheat or things with wheat in them. So i eat a lot of rice, quinoa and some non-wheat pasta.

Our wings are not tired.

You guys will be thrilled to know that as of Saturday night, I no longer think quinoa is pronounced "KWIN-OA".

MsBelle, happy 40th!! I have loved my year and a half of 40 so far. Hope you love it, too.

"KWIN-OA"

I can't even remember how I thought it was pronounced but it certainly wasn't keen-WAH. Who knew?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Note to self: It's keen-WAH.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I thought it was "quin-OH-nah".

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't remember what I originally thought it was, but I definitely remember it being one of those words that I read, and that I heard pronounced, and I had NO IDEA they were actually the same word.

For the longest time, I thought the plant Kalanchoe was pronounce Ka-lan-show. Nope.

When I was little, I had a friend named Xochitl. She must've had a hell of a time in school. Hippies.

Christmas tree lights all rolled onto their holders. That will fill another box. Then I need to decide how and where to store all the new outside decorations.

Home Depot was having a sale on tubs this weekend, for under $5, 20 gallon.

I like to think I keep my computer pretty clean. Blow out the keyboard with compressed air probably once a month, wipe it down with computer wipes. But I just vacuumed the keyboard. OMG damned cats. The fur just kept coming and coming. Ridiculous.
