Month: December 2008

  • Food Day at Teddy J

    Pre-Christmas Gluttonfest at TeddyJ tomorrow. I bought supplies for two Gooey Butter Cakes, one for Teddy and one for Gary. Teddy’s looked like this. It just never turned cake-like. Just Gooey and Buttery, no Cake. So I took the second pound cake mix, sacrificed my one remaining cup of milk, and made TeddyJ the prettiest…

  • First Commenter

    Citizen of the Month had the fine idea of honoring his First Commenter. My First (apart from my Mom), my very first, even before Becs, even before most of the Assorted Friends had even looked at the blog, was Catherine of So That Happened. I had logged in to Typepad and knew no one. I…

  • Happy?

    Seriously, this will make no sense to any new visitors. I am sorry. ================================== For you new visitors, I was at the Dermatologist today (because of the clinical trial) and he was checking for skin cancer. “Let me see your back. Now your front. Now raise you arms so I can see your sides. Now…

  • I Could be Secretary of State!

    Colin Powell just said something like this on CNN: “I told all my staffers, throw away all the books on your shelves. All you need is a search engine and Wikipedia.” I say we all go out there and write up Wikipedia articles on Canada, Mexico. and their vast oil reserves, just to save travel…

  • You Have to Wonder

    We had quite the long day. We drove to Independence MO (by KC), then we watched the graduation of our half-Pakistani 24 year old nephew, we ate at a Japanese steakhouse, and drove back. Now I’m home watching a documentary on 9/11. I ask myself why our clearly South Asian nephew has recently taken to…

  • We Peaked Yesterday. You’re Still Here?

    Yeah, I could compile a list of posts, or I could do that this weekend, or I could give you a pop quiz (What is Spunky Labia’s middle name? No Googling!) or I could do THAT this weekend, or I could go to my nephew’s college graduation, which is what I’m doing this weekend. Or…

  • TaDa!

    This is post number one thousand.

  • T-Minus 1

    Eeee! So exciting. I really thought hard about naming tomorrow’s post T-Minus .50, but no. By the way, someone came along today and read from September this year to the present day. I sit here and wonder about you Dots out there, and I assume this person has been in prison three months and is…

  • T-Minus 2

    Yo! Gary! If you are in the bathroom reading this, hear me now: I do not want to watch the E! show The Girls Next Door. I will not watch it on the floor, I will not watch it heretofore. I will not watch it when you’re gone, I will not watch if the twins…

  • T-Minus 3

    This morning at about 9:45, I was in the guest room / computer room / music room / my room, while Gary was sleeping in our bedroom. Suddenly there was a massive thud that shook the house, and Gary cried out. Gary bellowed in pain and moaned until I came in. He was lying on…
