Now make sweet empanadas instead of savory ones?

Maybe next time!

So I'm catching up on Ellen, and Kate Winslet is the best. Ellen asks her about her husband's name (Ned Rocknroll) and she's like, "Well, of course I have to say I like it" or something.... and then Ellen asks what the new baby's last name is, and she says "Winslet....for obvious reasons." Hee.

Oh, also the best, from an earlier episode? Wanda Sykes. "No, I haven't see Twelve Years A Slave! I've got white people in the house! I have white children! I can't bring all that into the house!"

tommyrot, those rules are pretty darn close to my house rules.

Why isn't Wanda Sykes on my TV more?

My phone tells me I have burned more calories than I've eaten so far today, so maybe I'd better have lunch before I finish mowing the lawn.

Fucking snow.

Right?! I guess I should go clean the snow off my car and make a Target run.

Oh, self. I left the gate wide open and Walter decided to take advantage and go for a walk. Fortunately, my neighbors all know him and one of them came and knocked on my door to ask if that was Walter walking around without me - at that point he was just hanging out on my driveway looking like maybe we did that all the time. As soon as I came out with his leash, though, he took off down the street. I told him we'd go for a run later, but I guess he didn't want to wait. He only went a block or so this time before he let me put the leash on him and bring him home - less of an adventure than it might have been!

I'm so sorry about the snow, people! I wish you could send it back to California, where we really need it.

I feel done for the day. Got up at 6AM to take a bus downtown in the dark to run a 5K with my sister. (Did much better than we expected to, we both placed 16th in our age groups, and under 200 overall, out of 2200 women, yay!) And then we waited for my BIL's race to start, and hung around and got free massages and free beer, and finally went home. Except the buses aren't running right because of the marathon, so we ended up taking a taxi from the BART station.

Anyway, it's noon and I'm exhausted. And the dog hasn't been walked.

But it is a beautiful day.

Free massages and free beer does seem like a good incentive for a run, though.

-t, Walter is a basset hound, right? Or am I imagining that?

Trudat, as they say. Although we didn't drink the beer--I just can't have beer before lunch--and instead brought it home. (21st Amendment brought a bunch of good microbrew in cans.)

I might take a nap, and then vacuum the house and do some website work for my brother.

Well done, Consuela!

Amy, he's a German Short-haired Pointer (per the DNA test, anyway).

I am all full of salad and just want to sit here and digest for a while. 15 more minutes won't make a difference to the lawn...

Whoa, I was way off. They're great dogs.
