So while we waited for a table to open up, Tim decided to walk 3 doors down and get his nipples pierced.* Like you do.

Hee. I mentioned before, my mother was once informed on the same day that I had made the Dean's list at university and my younger brother had got his nipples pierced. We liked to keep her on her toes.

I am actually shocked to hear dark chocolate speculoos cups exist. I thought my daughter invented them. I made homemade dark chocolate pb cups a couple weeks ago, which were frighteningly delicious. A couple of days ago Luna wanted to make more, but we were out of peanut butter. She said, "That's ok, let's use speculoos spread." We didn't have enough at the time, but I was blown away by the brilliance of the suggestion and bought more. We plan to make some today. The filling will be speculoos spread with crumbled speculoos cookies for some crunch. I will let you know how they turn out!

Ok, we made speculoos cups. They are amazing. I recorded the recipe as we went along if anyone would like to try them. It's here.

Y.U.M.

Dude.

I want to buy a new sofa, a new rug, and a new TV, but I told myself that I can't buy anything unless I do some serious decluttering first. And it's not like I have a serious clutter problem, I just need to empty out some closets. But it's not enough motivation for me. I'm still just sitting on my ass.

Is speculoos the same as cookie butter?

Yes.

I'm still just sitting on my ass.

Hence the need for a new sofa and TV.

Just saying hello. I'd never heard the term ace spectrum before, although I had heard of the term grey a thanks to something a buffista once said in a blog post. I keep meaning to write to Terry Gross and ask her to do a program about it. She keeps grilling guests about when did they know they were gay. Poor Tim Gunn pretty much flat out said I'm asexual but I don't think the other TG got it.

My back/ right hip hurts. I just went to see an osteopath, and was bade to not lift more than 20 pounds, take it easy etc. But I spent the day yesterday shoveling rock, moving boards, crawling around under the house with a contractor then staying down there to supplementally insulate some heating ducts.

A work friend said long ago that the secret to a happy marriage was hiring a helper for the gardening work, instead of her husband. She can boss the worker around, husband nsm. One of the good things about working on my house us hiring someone to work with me, or for me, depending on the work.I like working side by side most of the time. The guy who's been working with/ for me us a good painter, so he's doing the paint job by himself right now.

Cleaning - every other week,$60, dust, vacuum, kitchen, bathroom, Bona- mop hardwood floors. I had to do it when I stopped after retiring, thinking I should do it myself, then realized 16 or 17 months had gone by without a single mopping being done, and it would never happen, if I keep it in my hands. I don't like but don't hate the other chores. Except ironing. I iron once every two or three years.
