On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If there's one thing I love more than kale, it's cheese. And then anything crunchy.

For my own part, I had a fancy burger out for dinner, which was excellent. I really need to go out for dinner more, but don't like to do it alone!

These quesadillas have ALL THREE! They're seriously addictive.

I have now mixed in the sugar! It is the last sugar in my house! But they still need to wait for it to cool down!

Now they're sitting on the fence.

So I got a new tooth today. Well, sort of. She decided to to it as a crown buildup that will hold up until I do the full crown work. Normally, they'd do that, image the shape to make the crown, cut it down to seat the crown all in the same visit. We just did the first. They had a cancellation, so I got in at noon and back at work by 12:45.

They expect predict insurance is going to push back on this, since I didn't have the crown done today, but it would be under $200 if I do have to foot it all, so.

And then there was crazy entitled CrazyMom at the pool (um, your kid gets 5 minutes free swim after lessons. And then the pool is closed to him because they are still using it for lessons. You are not a special flower, nor is your son) and they had to call security and there was yelling CRAZY. This lady, wow, the chip on her shoulder. Must be be exhausting to go through life like that. They had to call the police to remove her from the pool area. SRSLY. And she tried to pull this last week too!

Several other parents and I talked to the security guy and manager after to let them know that Cheryl (instructor) was not enforcing any new and arbitrary rules, this is always policy. Crazy lady just crazy. It's posted everywhere that rec swim does not start until 7. Sheesh.

Okay, you people are not helping with my new nutrition goals.

I have been ravenous all day today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My dinner will be leftover Crispy Shrimp, Vegetable Delight, and steamed rice. Food other people made, my favorite.

That is a way more exciting time at the pool than I would have ever imagined, sarameg.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My dinner was frozen lasagna, microwaved, and some avocado summer rolls that have been in my fridge for a day too long and the avocado is turning brown.
