this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Now I want peanut butter cookies.

They're the ridiculously easy ones -- 1 c. PB, 1 c. sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp baking powder; mix; roll in balls, roll balls in sugar, moosh balls with fork tines in classic criss-cross pattern, bake.

Only I think the SO would kill me, since he's already harping on about how my banana bread messed with his weight loss. Tough, buddy, it was an observance. Plus, I am not the keeper of how much banana bread you eat.

Tim, who is 44 years old and looks like this (totally safe for work, unless you work for Lex Luthor [I am such a DORK]): [link] told me the other day "I think my metabolism is slowing down, because...my clothes are fitting a little tight."

I told him that he got probably a decade longer than most people do, and if maybe he didn't eat 3 cartons of ice cream (NOT pints) a week, he wouldn't have that problem, AND that that was the only suggestion/comment I was going to make about his weight, since he is kind enough to not comment on mine.

But seriously. The man has a 28-inch waist (maybe 30 inches, actually, but still) and he's 44 years old. Age gracefully, yo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If I make onerous snickerdoodles, though, they're totally yours.

Now that's a band name: Onerous Snickerdoodles.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That...is a lot of ice cream. What's his favorite flavor?

You ain't kidding. It's really impressive to behold. (Also, he has 2 kinds of cookies in the house, which we have to buy every week. And then there's the apple crisp. He should be the Half-Ton Man, and yet.)

What's his favorite flavor?

You know, I honestly don't know. The one he buys most often is Tin Roof, but I think that's his favorite flavor in the cheapest brand (the man loves a bargain and will not pay $6 for a carton of ice cream).

Well, I can't claim to have completed my onerous task yet, as my fic is still unfinished, but I have knocked out 1100 words on it so far today. I think I can put that in the win column. If I manage to write more tonight, great; if not, I'm not beating myself up. It will have to be finished by tomorrow, though, so I can send it to beta.

Alternatively, um, DCistas?

I have a futon that you're welcome to crash on. Although if you're here tomorrow, I might try to shanghai you into helping me buy my new TV ;) I'll e my phone number. I can come pick you up from the airport if need be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Today is one long segue of onerosity. And now I have a status report to write. Which...don't wanna. But needs must, and shit.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I am apparently going back to work on Tuesday, woot. No more lazy days, so I guess it's just as well I slept in this morning.

I have done paperwork and prepared my taxes, and now I think I shall take the dog for a long walk. Then I have to clean my house in preparation for having a couple of college-student friends of my niece sleep in my guest room (they're here for a frisbee tournament out in the central valley).

At least I'm getting $ back on my taxes, given that I still won't be paid for at least two or three more weeks. Bleah.

Suela, I do remember having to ask my sister for her SSN but I think that was for insurance, not wages.

I am also hearing "hookers and blow" in that dog commercial way. Or as "Hookers and blow, batman!"
