Kev:  internet’s down.

ESC: did you try the neighbor’s?

Kev: yep, they’re down, too.

ESC: crap.

Kev: yep.

ESC: what now?

Kev: I don’t know.  I guess we’ll have to…talk to each other.

ESC: omg!

Kev: I know!  What are we going to talk about???

*pause*

ESC: let’s talk about the internet!

Kev: *facepalm*

Recipe: Spicy Thai Soup

Posting it here for my benefit (so I don’t forget) and to share the pure joy that is:

ESC’s Spicy Thai (inspired) Soup

note: this probably bares little resemblence to any actual thai recipe, so my apologies if you’re a purist

MEAT MARINADE

it’s called IRONY!

soooo, just when I posted about our home search…

Kev lost his job.

It’s not a surprise, we’re not shocked…the signs were all there.  It was only a matter of time.  Still…it would have been nice if he’d been able to work there a little while longer.

Oh well.  Hopefully Georgia will have enough [...]

falling in love

ESC: I’m actually NERVOUS about going to look at this house.  I’m afraid I’ll like it too much.  I don’t want to fall in love with a house right now.

Kev: well, it’s OK to have DREAMS!

ESC: yeah, but our DREAM is to buy a house.  NOT to buy a specific house.  The [...]

new look

I forgot to mention it earlier, but surely you’ve noticed – I changed the theme!  Again!  The last one just wasn’t doing it for me.  And when I had what I thought was a fairly simple question for the designer, I was pretty much ignored.  Grrr…  I judge a new theme by how I [...]

Sadie: *wag wag wag*

Sadie: *wag wag wag, play position, wag wag, drool*

ESC: who’s my good girl?  Sadie girl!  who’s my good girl???

Sadie: *run in circle, play position, jump, wag wag wag*

I get around

How about a real update?

My cough is almost gone, thanks to some quick remembering on my part.  My doctor had originally written me two prescriptions for the same thing, and I chose which one to take based on the results of the bloodwork.  Bloodwork showed that option A would work, but there was [...]

poetry

I’ve never been much into poetry.  I never GOT it.  OK, it rhymes…maybe.  sometimes it has a rhythm, but then sometimes it doesn’t.  Sometimes it seems like it would be a better short story then reading it forced into a weird, jerky rhythm that distracts from the message.

I think this is the same [...]
