It sounds like you guys had a great time, Sox!
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I went to a conference on fundraising and signed and emailed our various tax signature pages to our accountant. I also ate half priced pizza and drank half priced wine and am currently taking Hunger Games quizzes on EW.com!

It's true. It was crazy, but it was fun. I'll quit short-circuiting about the dolls now.

I got an American Girl doll when I was eight, pretty soon after they first started selling them, and I loved her. There was nowhere near as much American Girl stuff as there is now, but I had most of what was available. There was a cookbook, which had a menu and recipes for a meal that each character would have had, along with a lot of historical information about why they ate the foods they ate and what sorts of tools they'd have in their kitchens, and I made a bunch of those, with my mom's help. (Most of the recipes were really not designed for a kid to cook alone.) There were also reproductions of board games from the different eras, which were kind of fun, though the early ones were really preachy. I'm trying to remember what else. They sold patterns for a bunch of the doll dresses, and I tried making one, but they were a little too complicated. You could get a doll-size set of school books, which were miniature reproductions of actual school books used during that time, and I squinted a lot to read those.

That sounds amazing, Hil. And much more educationally oriented.
Wow. I'm tired. Feet hurt.

Yeah, when it first started, they only had the historical dolls. The ones that are just dolls with no story attached came much later.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I looked at the calendar and just realized that today is the 30th anniversary of my first marriage. I am now married to a much better person and happier because of it, so the date is not sad in any way. Well, except in the way that I AM REALLY OLD WTF.

The walk through went ok, except for the fact that the seller took all the curtain rods, when our contract specifically states that he is to leave them.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm about 300 behind, but I'm jumping ahead to post this:
I had an idea driving to work the other day, and I have brought to life what I'd like on the back of my minivan...
