I have slothed like the slothiest sloth that ever lived today. The DH got up early to go to Jay Leno's garage to photograph him and his Bugatti. Reported Jay was actually nice, the car collection was mind=blowing and Michael Strahan (who dropped by to see the garage) was way cool and the most fit guy he "has ever seen." Then we went out to brunch. Now, we are trying to catch up on TV I missed while at my mom's last week. I had a delicious pear cider and that was a VERY GOOD IDEA. I figure the energy I expended trying to keep it together while dealing with my mom's health just tired me the fuck out, and regrouping today is needed.

Oh noes, fire ants!?!? In the rain even? Hope you are ok.

I managed to stand in a fucking fire ant nest and get a shitton of bites.

Yikes! The absolute bane of my South Florida childhood. Fire ants! Also, to a lesser degree: Carpenter ants, Horseflies and chiggers.

Oh noes, fire ants!?!? In the rain even? Hope you are ok.

Yes, in the rain. I hate those evil little fuckers. I just counted - eighteen bites total, give or take. I feel less silly about having a panic attack. Last time I got an allergy test done, about a dozen years ago, I reacted on the scratch test. Once I got five bites as a kid, couldn't walk for days and nearly ended up in the ER.

But hey - I did have my Epipen on me today, if I had needed it. The hot water definitely helped, need to do it at least one more time. And I'll keep taking Benedryl for the next day or so.

I would totally go if I didn't have to pay to get in. Because (1) I don't want them to have any of my money, and (2) I would get thrown out for laughing, which would be a waste of my money. (Seriously, y'all, this is a for-real billboard for the Creation Museum: [link] Now, the museum is supposed to be based on the Bible, right? I don't remember there being DRAGONS IN THE BIBLE. I eagerly await the unicorn billboards.)

(Shit, if they start pimping out unicorns, I might have to cough up the dough and go see it.)

Congrats, GC!!

I am having bean-and-cheese-and-onion enchiladas for dinner! I made them myself! Okay, my mom made the enchilada sauce. And gave me the tortillas and cheese. And dehydrated beans. But I bought the onion and chopped it! I don't know, it's nice to be eating a dinner where none of the components were frozen.

I would give a LOT to see his garage. He has, hands down, the most interesting collection. And he loves them.

I want to have a smartass comment but it's just ... really?

I don't know, it's nice to be eating a dinner where none of the components were frozen.

Yes. Though I am currently stocking my freezer with usable portions of things. I figured if it's something I cooked, it doesn't really count as "frozen" in a derogatory way.

I made green curry chicken and zucchini over rice for Mom tonight. So I froze extra rice and the surprisingly extra zucchini (because I bought nearly three pounds) went in there too. The green curry was shockingly delicious. I made that! With science. And coconut milk.

The best part is that the person that posted about the creation museum lives in San Diego, so he travelled to be there.

Well, sure. They have a DRAGON.
