I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I rarely eat cereal and the idea of having more than one box of cereal quietly going stale on my shelf is more alarming than a bowl of mixed cereals is intriguing.

I also often eat my cereal dry because I am usually out of milk (I don't maintain a minimum inventory of it in my fridge the way I do butter, for example. It's not a staple in my world)

That's a lot to carry, Scrappy! I'm sorry.

I never understood why people put cereal in milk, I've eaten it dry all my life. We were never big cereal eaters in my family, anyway, maybe my mother didn't want to deal with bowls and pouring and all that. We must have eaten breakfast before school, and we had milk in glasses, but I think it was more toast and butter or jam and the like. I have no memory of breakfasts.

I ate a lot of frozen mini pizzas for breakfast in high school because I didn't eat eggs and I needed the protein. And wanted something hot. Somehow, frozen pizza in the toaster oven was the simplest breakfast.

I like cereal with soy milk or rice milk but I have to make a special effort to buy those. I've just never been a milk drinker.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You need a different alarm clock, Kat.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

We have to go decorate Tim's dad's house for Christmas today, and I'm trying to beat back peak levels of resentment. I know I could stay home, but I do genuinely want to be helpful. It's just that, after 10 years with his family, you'd think I would stop being surprised that something that should take any normal human being 3 hours ends up taking 8 hours because they make things needlessly complicated.

I know my FiL has Wild Turkey, so I may just start drinking the minute I walk through the door.

Our wings are not tired.

Tipsy decorating is way preferable to sober decorating.

David, I have some bad news for you: Product 19 is discontinued .

Nooooooo!!!!

I wondered why it was off my local grocery shelf. It had been harder and harder to find but they still stocked it.

Special K is no substitute!

move out and draw fire

Cereal mixing is the main problem in my marriage. My DH mixes. He no longer mixes ALL the cereals without asking, though, after I threw an operatic, melodramatic shitfit about cereal mixing and trust.

Also I've switched to Grape Nuts, which doesn't mix well with anything.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

We sometimes have cereal in the house. mostly granola - which goes on top of yogurt. or DH eats dry. I tend to eat cereal more often at the end of the day - because I am hungry

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Wait, he mixes them in the box? No, that is bad and wrong and no. You do a mix in the bowl.
