So. Tired.

That's all I've got. Time to crawl into bed. Tomorrow starts at 8 AM and goes until at least midnight. Rinse and repeat for Sunday.

Also, hi Shir!!!!!

Hello, beauty!

Question for Christians: Since 911, I hear a lot of country songs and fundy Christians use the term "God is Great". Certainly nothing in the sentiment that is not Christian,but I always associated the phrasing with Islam. Has this always been a common phrase among Christians, and I just started noticing it post 911?

I seem to remember a similar phrase in Yiddish (that I can't transcribe for the life of me, as many other idioms in Yiddish [that until three years ago I was certain they were family Gibberish, btw, and not a real language]).

Normal, yes?

I love you, and I'm not even that atheist.

In the meantime, another round of battle of the ants. Ugg. They are coming out of the bathroom sink and tub overflow drains. kinda strange. So, ant traps in all rooms. And orange spray in a variety of places. The tide has slowed. Hopefully tomorrow they will all be dead and gone.

Try garlic. They really do hate the smell.

I can't help but notice, since DT is no longer The Doctor, your correspondance has dropped off. Coincidence. Eh. Probably. But fun to speculate.

OH IF ONLY.

Normal, yes?

YUP

Dear god, I could never take a kid for shots. I can't even be in the same room when Frankie gets his nails trimmed.

(super excited I got my new egg poaching silicon cups to work--way easier than fishing it out of the water)

Oooh, speak to me of these. I want to start having more poached eggs, but they feel like a lot of work to me.

Dear sinus/muscle-tension headache, bugger off. I have a bunch of dayjob work to do today before going to a photo shoot.

I saw them at the Kitchen Lady's store. (I have no idea what the name of the store actually is, we just call her the Kitchen Lady and the store her store.) I think I'd like to try them, because my new way of eating involves a lot of eggs. So far, I have scrambled down pat, and can do a passable over easy. Yesterday I ventured hard boiled and was moderately successful, and enjoyed the resulting egg salad muchly. But I think poached would be a much better morning choice for me if I could master it.

Oh, whoops, just answered in Natter--

They are fabulous, I'm super excited. I had a microwave egg poacher, but could never get it to be just right. These are little silicone bendy bowls, and you put the egg in it, drop it in the hot water, and cover the pot (steam is part of the requirement), and then it's much neater than dropping the egg in the water and fishing it out. Nom.

How do you do over easy? I can't figure that one out.

Sounds like a trip to a kitchen store is in my future. And meara, I haven't forgotten that I need to meet up with you about the fitbit! It's just that this work deadline has kind of eaten my brain.

No worries, Jilli--I have a ton of stuff I want to get done this weekend...but I woke up this morning with a headache and went back to sleep until almost noon. So we'll see how much gets done. :)

I got mine at TJ Maxx, I think, for about $4. I love me some poached eggs.

How do you do over easy? I can't figure that one out.

Over easy is one flip, right? Timing and a well-greased skillet.
