You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Nice, Anne!

I wish you much meatloaf and egg salad, Connie.

Hard boiled eggs: throw desired amount of eggs into pot, cover with about an inch of water, bring to a boil, turn heat off and let sit 10 to 12 minutes, rinse with cold water (peel immediately if possible).

We had eggs in our salad over the holidays, which was wonderful. with the fam. But Dad did the dishes, which was a novel contribution on his part.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I left work early, so now I am curled up on the couch with wine and Community. Soon there will be cheese as well.

I made the sticky rolls, which turned out okay but not, I suspect, awesome. And there are LOTS. I threw a bunch in the freezer, and have bagged some to give to Dad so he can share with his neighbors.

I was watching Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room on Amazon Prime, but managed to spill a quart of water all over the floor next to the surge protector while I was watering the tree, so everything is unplugged there. In a few minutes I'll start making biscuits for dinner tonight.

I managed to fall while holding onto the fridge door. Now the fridge is three inches further into the kitchen and I can't open the silverware drawer without opening the fridge, and I don't have the strength to shove the fridge back. Oh, the strange quirks one has to live with... One day I'll figure out how to climb onto the roof.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy Endings marathon on VH1! For anyone who is interested in weird comedies that are already cancelled....

Quantity has a quality all its own. Good in terms of sticky rolls, and possibly biscuits. Not so good in terms of water near surge protetors.

You have an excellent plan, Lee!

I've been watching old recorded Cooking Channel shows, now I'm watching old recorded science shows. And doing crossword puzzles. Party animal.

ETA: aw, Happy Endings. I never quite fell in love with that show, but it sure had its moments.

Julie - that sounds...special. I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

Dang flaky teenagers - the roster of who is coming tonight is ever changing. Sorry, it is a "dry" party. That is how I roll when it comes to teenagers. Especially when 95% are part of the search and rescue team and I'm the head of the parent group.

Juliebird, I hope you don't have to get on the roof to get the fridge back where it is supposed to be. Dang.

Cats and dog are fed, curtains are drawn, I'm gonna get all crazy with a second glass of wine
