I made myself some breaded lemon pepper parmasian mahi-mahi for lunch. It was THE BOMB. I should have made two fillets. Oh well.

Exciting, Dana!

le nubian, I'm just so glad they showed us so many of the false starts and mistakes with the song. So cute!

WHen my grandmother was inher late 80s I told her she needed to stop driving or every time I would visit something would go missing from her engine. Thankfully she stopped, because I honestly do not know enough about what to take off an engine to make it stop working. My plan was just to grab hoses and anything that removed easily.

I'm picturing you as a nun in The Sound of Music, msbelle. This is truly something one would never expect to do.

I'm going to need more coffee if I'm going to explain how conditional redirects work even after I already provided a handy flowchart.

I need food, period, to explain AGAIN that it's not a plan if no one knows what kicks it off, what the first step is, and when or how you move to a second step.

Which would be funny (she's incapable of doing anything for herself, can't even put on her bra), if it weren't so hard on my dad.

H'm. I think I just found a single item that will cover everyone on every single gift list I will ever have, except possibly my dad and Allyson: This right here.

Wow, Dana! That would be convenient for me, because I still think you live in Houston half the time anyway.

Hah! I think you should listen to Jesse, Dana. Unless you want to be in Abq, which I hear is lovely.

Can someone try to convince me that being bored at work doesn't mean I should go nuts and buy stuff like this [link] and this [link] and this [link] for the house?

I mean, I would still like the neighbors to like me.

Coworker just asked for Kauai recommendations. I gave them, and now I want to run away to Hawaii for a couple of weeks.
