Last night, M and I were in bed.  G was already asleep in his room, and E was zonked out with milk coma, on a breastfeeding pillow on my lap. M and I started having one of the totally random conversations to which we are prone. M: So you know that spot where the river […]

That’s right, bacon. Before you get crazy, I’m not putting bacon in my juice.  You may wish to do so, I won’t stop you… but it’s not my thing. No, I just mean that by a weird happenstance of flavor chemistry and tastebud magic, I have figured out how to make my morning OJ taste […]

Today on Facebook I was confronted with a very interesting conversation situation.  I’m going to share it with you (with all names changed) because I can’t imagine not sharing it, for all sorts of reasons. I’ll be using actual quotes, I’m not making any of this up.  Comments about my thoughts will be inline in […]

MisterMister and I were watching Anthony Bourdain’s latest Christmas episode while Gilgamesh caught a few ZZZs. We were very entertained by Christopher Walken’s cameo, which stimulated this discussion: MisterMister: You know what would be great? Me: What? MisterMister: If Christopher Walken did audiobooks of children’s stories! Me: *snort* That would be AWESOME! MisterMister: You know, […]

M: Do M&Ms really melt in your mouth? (munch munch munch) I really wouldn’t call this sensation melting. Me: Honey, those aren’t M&Ms. M: […]

watching hockey last night Me: Heh. M: What? Me: If you look at that one player’s name on the back of his jersey out of the corner of your eye, it looks like “CHUPACABRA”. It’s actually something weird like “chipcoin” or something. M: Heh. play continues and Rick Jeanerette, the Sabres’ amazing play-by-play announcer mentions […]

Last night M took me to a hockey game for my birthday (it’s not quite my bday yet, but that was the closest game we could get with good seats and an interesting opposing team). It was wonderful. We won. There were no fights, so I’m not going to write about that today. Instead I’d […]
