capitalist pig

Wednesday was my mother’s birthday, but our gift didn’t arrive until friday.  I bought her a bunch of things from World Market – online, and just had them shipped straight to her.  She said it was like Christmas!  So many things to unwrap!

ESC: did you like the earrings?

Mom: oh yes, they’re very [...]

brief pictorial

This is what a disassembled mattress looks like piled up on your living room floor.

Very nice, huh? It’s going out to the dumpster tonight.

And this is what a batch of delicious stuffed tomatoes looks like:

Very yummy!  Recipe [...]

whoring for myself

Everyone will be happy to know that Kev and I have been dealing very successfully with our giant mattress issue.  VERY successfully.  We still have research to do, though.  Loooottts of research.

For science, of course.

The other bit of excitment going on right now is that I’m considering a new (additional) job opportunity.  [...]

Today we got a big, wonderful, smooshy, brand new mattress from Costco.  This is an early EARLY christmas gift from my MiL.  Early because our old mattress was about to collapse in on itself, creating a black hole that would suck us, the condo, Sadie, and the entire universe into it’s sucking vortex and [...]

working late

My yogurty exile is over, so all the boys can come back to the blog now.  though I think the header will stay up for a bit.  Because it makes me laugh.  And because I can’t think of a better one at the moment.

Apologies to anyone who was expecting me at knit night [...]

alienating my male readers again

My new header is dedicated to Julie and Aimee.  Ironically, IT is full of WIN!

Busy busy busy, but not too busy to not take care of PERSONAL GROOMING.

Birthday of MEATY GOODNESS

OK,  today has kicked my ass completely, mostly in the form of The Perfect Storm of lady-afflictions, which I can blame solely on being on antibiotics for the past week.  And while I was singing augmenten’s praises a few days ago, as the swelling and redness disappear from my leperfoot, today I curse it [...]

tough to be a gangsta with chapped lips

brief foot update: it is healing, though still swollen and a little sore.  I no longer walk with a limp now, so that is good.

seen on MARTA this morning:

A guy doing his best gangsta look: hair braided back, baggy shirt, baggy shorts, earphones blaring something loud, indifferent sneer on his face…

…all [...]

foot loose and fancy free

eagerly anticipated leprosy update: it’s not leprosy, as those of you who follow me on twitter already know.  It’s cellulitis – which is a fancy way of saying “some kind of skin infection.”  The doc prescribed me a hefty antibiotic (horse pills!  who takes these pills?  giants!  they are giant pills!) and told me [...]

smellypost

the smelt experiment: 2/3 successful.  I breaded them in a mix of bread crumbs, parm cheese, chopped garlic, and parsley.  Kev liked them.  Sadie liked them.  I…um…tolerated them.  And then I fed the last two on my plate to Sadie.  They are too funky tasting for me.  And funky smelling.   I will have to [...]

Chattiest!
