I like all the chesees and all the pickles. Not necessarily all at once, but to every time there is cheese; a time for sharp cheddar, a time for brie, a time for pepper jack, a time for dill havarti. Etc.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm about to meet brenda for a drink (!!) and will probably have to find some cheese and/or pickles as well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Note how I used the extra-fancypants term "cornichon" and not the lowly pedestrian "gherkin."
Matilda is all about the cornichons and that is how her favorite 5th grader (from last year) nicknamed her Funny Little Pickle. Because I packed them in her lunch.

Can't swim, baking cookies. 2 batches snickerdoodles dough chilling, chocolate espresso with fireball in the works.
I possibly am avoiding anxiety,

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Things I'd never thought I'd say, part wev: "Don't hit the cat with your phone!" (it's a toy phone, but Mr. S hasn't figured out gentle touch yet.)

Cornichons are the best. Our French hamburgers from the French hamburger place we ate at on Saturday came with them.
Here's a cute baby-fan story: Casper has gotten really into BTS, a Kpop boyband that has probably the biggest international following among teens. None of Casper's friends are interested in Kpop and they think it's weird. But today, in the hall at school, Casper saw a locker that was decorated with pictures of V and Jungkook (her two favorites!) from BTS! It's A Thing at her school that your friends decorate your locker on your birthday. So now she just needs to find and get introduced to this girl named Sarah who turned 14 today, and she'll have Kpop friends! (I asked if I could post this on Facebook and she was like, no that is too weird. But nothing is too weird for the Buffistas, who understand fandom.)

Aww! Heart.
I posted on FB but if any of y'all want a holiday card from me, email me or text me or FB me or whatever? I still feel a little weird that I ordered actual cards like a family would, but just of me and my adventures. But...

Punishingly Intricate
I always think of gherkins as being sweet style pickles and of cornichons as being delicious! meara, one of my single friends has always done cards with her and her cat. This year her new dog is in the picture and I can't wait to get her card! Once again I'm sad this year that I haven't gotten it together to send cards. I love getting them!

Aw. Casper.
That's not weird, meara, that's excellent! Or if it is weird it's the good kind.
