That's half way to eggnog anyway.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Art Crawl!!!
I knew which Bulger ita_! was talking about.
Also - promos for new CW shows are here - there is one with Mamie Gummer i.e., Meryl Streep's daughter.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
K-Bug reached her current height when she was in 5th grade.
I haven't grown a centimeter since 7th grade. Well, not up anyway.
I had a distressing age-related thing happen on Sunday. I was out to supper with some friends, who are all in the 30-38 range. Our waitress asked if I was the mother of any of them. Dude. I am 44. And, until Sunday, I didn't think I even looked 44. Seriously. One of the worst dinners ever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My body was still growing when I was 20. I know this because my orthodontist took advantage of that to expand my upper jaw. (I had this little tool I used to expand my upper jaw a little bit every day.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Our waitress asked if I was the mother of any of them.
Ha! JZ and I went out to a local Thai restaurant with Matilda. Two buddhist monks were sitting nearby and Matilda was getting up periodically and looking around the restaurant. Not causing a commotion and not getting in the way or pestering anybody. Just mildly restless.
The monk smiled beneficently on her and suggested to me that as her grandfather I was obviously going to be way too lenient and not properly discipline her.
To which I did not reply: Fuck you, you celibate non-parental, judgmental, wrong age-guessing bald fuck!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been asked if I were Juliana's mom before.

My gainfully-employed-not-obviously-gay-white-dude sob story of reverse discrimination: someone once kidded me in a movie theater about ordering cola instead of a clear drink when I went to see the remake of Shaft. That's the worst thing I've ever had to deal with because of my skin color, gender, or apparent orientation.
Somehow, I have managed to soldier on bravely despite being victimized in such an outrageous fashion.

Also, ita !, a friend of mine has been doing booze ice creams every weekend or so. Here's a few recent ones:
This week's cocktail-based ice cream: Brass Monkey. Orange juice, star anise, vodka, and rum. #RIP MCA.
Aww.
This week's homemade ice cream flavor: Roaring Dan's Rum & Ginger.
That sounds up your alley
For tonight's dessert, Red Wine & Cola Sorbet. Michael Jackson called it Jesus Juice. It's a thriller!
Hmmm.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
do I make one of the listed recipes first, or do I dive straight into trying to work out a good egg nog ice cream recipe?
I would make one of the listed recipes just to get a feel for how the alcohol+other ingredients freeze. They all sound good.
I've always thought it was "put through the wringer". I'm not sure about the w in nerve-racking, though. I'd keep it, but not with authority.
