Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Overheard neighbors trying to find shovel. It's outside my door so I can shovel out from my walkup. No you can't borrow it.

I wish I had a sled, cuz I could totally ride down my steps right now.

Why is Facebook asking me if I know people when I deleted my account?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The neighbor kid totally does that! It's adorable.

I did a roasted Brussels sprouts, carrots, and cauliflower combo.

Tim declared it "better than the Brussels sprouts!"

Me: "I thought you *liked* the roasted Brussels sprouts."
Him: "I didn't DISlike them. I'll eat them if you make them, because they're healthy, and roasting is the only way I've had them that wasn't horrible."

High praise, yo.

The weird part about the neighbors wanting my shovel is that N declared it was in his truck. So, you think you've already borrowed it? They've actually stored it by their own front door, and I've had to trip through the cone down stairs and across the parking lot to find it.

Compassionately intolerant

I have Brussels sprouts to roast, based on enthusiasm here, but have yet to venture. Give me courage.

I DO, however, have the organzic frozen cherries from Costco in my belleh. Sweet weeping infinity they are GOOD.

I have roasted nothing today.

Instead, I walked the twins to the grilled cheese truck. GCT better in concept than in practice.

I just got home and one of my smoke alarm batteries is dying. Fuck. Wait, I know which one to rip off the wall!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

'Sodes are freaky. It's anywhere in the range of "drink a small glass of water" to bad. But a lot of times it's just drinking a glass of water or having breakfast.

If he were still in So Cal, I could hook him up with some Serb-aphiles.

My (step)bro is super proud of his Serbian heritage. I'm waiting to ask about killing Franz Ferdinand and starting World War I. Some things, you save.
