A piece on the founder of St. Ambrose: [link] Former priest, married to an ex-nun. And yeah, they met while still under vows.

YES WE ARE!

One of my coworkers just got back from Kauai, and gave me a menu for another place he really liked.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OMG, I have to NEVER EVER BUY the TJ's chocolate-covered almonds with sea salt. A friend brought some over last night, and D & I splurged and ordered a PPV movie (watched Thor, prepping for Avengers -- fun!) and we ate the rest of the 3/4 full container.

I could eat another container now, I swear.

Needless to say, I did NOT go for the brownie.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

OMG, I have to NEVER EVER BUY the TJ's

I have more than one promises that start exactly this way. Because if I buy x, I eat ALL of the x.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My current TJ fav is a dark chocolate bar with toffee walnuts and black salt. Egad, sooo gooood. But I hear they are discontinuing them, so I am buying up many of them now, while they are still around. As good as Voseges (or whatever those fancy chocolates are) but seriously 1/3rd the cost.

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

Valrhona? Nom.

As soon as the Christmas assortment chocolate-covered JoJos come in, I'm buying at least six boxes. Maybe a dozen. Crack, I tell you. And almond bark.

Why do some bruises take so long to bloom? During the test last night another ninja stomped on my big toe. It hurt at the time but so did everything else. It looked fine when I took my shoes off and I kinda forgot about it. This evening I stepped funny and my toe hurt. It has a big ole bruise now. Strange badge of honor for the testing experience.

I don't like dark chocolate generally, but I'll have to pick that up for Dan's Xmas stocking.

We're going to see Contagion tomorrow (a student gave me a pair of movie passes at the end of the year -- so sweet!)

First time I've been in an actual theatre since our 2nd date in 2009 (which was Wolverine, which tells you a lot about how we ended up married, because we were both "WOLVER-FUCKING-RINE & sushi! Perfect date!"
