Time to tidy up some loose ends:
The ants are still coming and feasting on the Terro poison. This means either these ants really are some new breed of super-ants, or more probably, we are eradicating every single ant in the Greater Saint Louis Area. If you hear the ecosystem of Saint Louis has collapsed because the first link of the food chain was killed off you can blame me.
Number of days without an accident: one.
Number of days of continued morning and evening flossing: five.
My nephew gave me an English translation of the Qu’ran after the funeral, but now of course I can’t read it. Because if I read it I’ll just be doing what Osama wants us to do.
Breaking News: Tim Gunn trumps the Dillard’s saleslady. As Melissa reports in her comment, Tim pronounces it Em-pyre, NOT Ahm-peer. I am sure Vaguely and Taster will bow to his utter suaviosity.
The dental hygienist corrected Gary and said cheese is one of the best things for your teeth because it has neutral pH.
We had corn last night just so we could use the Butter People.
I must admit I used far more butter than I usually would. In don’t know
why a silver fork designed purely for spearing oysters delights me,
while a plastic Weeble designed to spread butter seems like a waste.

The ants! We are in Chicago, and our ants are also eating up the Terro with gusto. But no dying or dissipating, apparently. Is it all the rain? It is making me angry! Arrr.
Of course you can read the Qu’ran. You aren’t listening to that lunatic – you are honoring the memory of your niece-in-law.
Well, damn. If the divine Tim Gunn says ’em-pyre’ and not ‘ahm-peer,’ then *I’m* going to say ’em-pyre.’ I shall bow down as well.Read the Qu’ran. Like Becs said, you would be honoring her memory. I think that would be lovely.
If it were a Silver Butter Weeble, would you be thrilled or appalled?Emp-pyre. I’ve always thought the other version highly affected and prissy.
annie ping – (Hi Annie – unless this is Luna Bar Annie, in which case welcome back) THANK YOU! I hate the ants too, especially since they seem to be immortal this year. But you know whats fun? Banging your hand on the surface where they’re feasting on the Terro. freaks them out.Becs – Well, I hadn’t thought of it that way. I was just going to read it out of comparative religion curiosity. But that’s a nice way to think of it. Catherine – I’ve done the research on this, now, and the consensus on the web seems to be “em-pyre.” Because we’re Amercunz, dang-nab it.Sherri – Silver butter spreader that did not look like a playskool toy would suit me.
I will concede to Em-Pyre in light of overwhelming Gunn fabulousity.
VU – You are so Righteous in Your Gunesquitude.
I watched Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style this weekend on Bravo and now I love him. He is excellent.
And I will commit to never saying Empire out loud. Why start now?
Autumn – I only commit to watching the last three episodes of any reality show. He seemed quite urbane on that bitchy fashion design show.TasterSpoon – a wise move. Tim would nod approvingly.
