Just got back from Matilda's soccer game and a trip to my office to dump all the culled paperwork in the shredding bin. The streets right now are packed with smelly miscreants - it's the annual 4/20 Smoke-In or Smoke-Out or whatever the hell it is; all I know is that there's no parking (Hec has our car, but we got a ride back from a teammate's parents and I had to show them a secret metered alley behind the UCSF dental building because the potheads had taken all the street parking with their stupid SUVs and Suburbans), and Matilda and I had to wade through a sea of pasty suburban bros and unkempt neohippies stinkin' up the block and scattering Bud Light cans and Doritos bags all over everything.
I need a martini. Which is possibly a wee bit hypocritical of me, but damn it, if the martini drinkers had a drink-in in Golden Gate Park we'd be a whole lot prettier and less smelly, and we wouldn't be dropping our used cocktail shakers all over the sidewalk either.

OMG, the meringue is worse than I feared it would be. It looks fine, but tastes disgusting. Forget that plan. Strawberries with cool-whip it is! (For my mother's diet birthday.)
Maybe I'll try one more time tomorrow with half the Stevia.
Strawberries and Cool Whip are nom.
I'm not home yet but my productivity continues. I think I've hit everything on my list other than sorting and putting away laundry. I had an epic search for cat food. I had finally found one the both cats will eat and doesn't create nasty cat farts. So, of course, they are reformulating their line and have the "old" stuff on clearance so it is hard as hell to find.
I'm hanging at a Starbucks, my first break today, awaiting The return of the ARP team. CJ has had a long day providing first aid support -I dropped him off at 4am and will be picking him up by 8pm.
Dragon Ball Grace, indeed. There's also a pic where Noah's feet are entirely off the sand. [link] My kids are piece of work.
E.L. Konigsburg died today. So sad.
Thanks! They are big and awesome. Well, they are still super little for their ages, but still awesome.
ohmygod! So my niece who is doing the Disney internship? She gets paid a little more than minimum wage. And she has to pay Disney $150 a week for housing. AND THEY INSPECT THEIR HOUSING EVERY TWO WEEKS! If they are too messy they get written up. WHAT? K was outraged at the thought.
Wow, that's more than I pay for housing. And I can't say mine would pass inspection on a regular basis.
