    Winger, your baby keeps getting cuter and cuter in every picture.

  • Glen creeps me the fucck out.

    Dagger is super adorable. I've loved all your recent sig pics (though I don't know if I've said it, because recently I've been reading from my phone but am too lazy to post from it).

    Also, crazy psycho future serial killer kids make me sad.

  • Hey, I am also making Asian chicken with jasmine rice.

    You know what else you get in Chili's pulled pork?  Nickle-sized pieces of bone.

  • That's flippin scary, Noisy. I can't believe the mom didn't do more. How is touching other peoples babies not a "We'll take the rest of our food to go" offense? Poor Evie. Did she wake up through any of this?

  • Nope, she slept through it all. I couldn't decide if I felt bad for the kid for having issues and a mom that seemed to ignore it, or bad for the mom for having a kid with issues and not even being able to go out to dinner without getting a break. But you know...no matter how bad I feel for them, keep your weird kid away from my kids. I have a nice kid and I don't let him bother people in restaurants.

  • Pulled pork update: DELICIOUS. And knuckle free!

  • I am LMAO at the thought of dividing up Christmas ornaments.  If I got divorced, I would dare Twan, DARE HIM, to ask me for some of my ornaments.  That's a good way to get knifed.  I mean, should I split my Buffy DVDs with him, too?  HA!

    Speaking of my husband he just called to ask, "What should we do for dinner?"  This means, when are you coming home to make something?  I said, Why don't you just start cooking something?  And he immediately turns into a whimpering southern belle, "SIIIIIGH.  I just don't know what to make.  I don't even know what we have.  I can't think.  I'll wait til you come home."  Of course you will.

    VOMIT. I usually get the chicken crispers but the last time I got them at this Chili's, the chicken was all weird and dry and gross and I didn't want to eat them so I thought I'd try this. 

    Turns out the only things I like at Chili's are the chicken crispers and the queso.

  • Unrelated to anything in this post, but I feel weird about it and feel like posting - my mom told me she ran into my dad's bff at Costco a little while ago, and she hadn't seen/talked to him forever. She didn't recognize him, but he and his wife came up to her and took her by surprise, and they asked a bunch of questions about me and my brother, and she was kind of in shock and answered them, and then she realized she was being pumped for information and excused herself...but not before she told them that we have kids. So I'm sure my dad knows now. I think I'd rather he not know  my brother and I have kids though, because now I'm mad at him for knowing he has three grandkids out there and still not caring.

    That's sad for you guys and shiitty of your dad's friends. I don't understand why people insert themselves into things like that. I'd be mad at them. Hell, I am.

    I SO feel you on this. I'm so sorry .. ick. :0(

     

    "Maybe I'd have been better off if I had gone to ivilliage"

  • I feel sad about the 5 year old with issues.  When we went on our honeymoon, we saw a family in the airport in Montego Bay struggling with a young child who clearly had behavioral problems, trying to get him to walk through security.  You could tell every step they took with the kid was an effort, and exhausting.  Sometimes I feel like I have to cut the parents some slack, but I draw the line at touching other kids. 

    I'm making pulled pork for Ian's birthday party this weekend -- I'm going to use your recipes Bob.

  • Noisy, that kid sounds delightful.  I can't believe his mom didn't take him out or something.

    Speaking of cupcakes, I'm pretty sure I have a problem.

    Thursday night I went by Brett's office to have dinner, and they had the allergen free bakery on the show so there was leftover cake. I ate it and it was good.  Friday morning, I went and bought two cupcakes (and breakfast tacos), and ate them that day.  Saturday, we went to a benefit and they were there, and I was ecstatic to get to eat something besides salad and cheese at one of those events.  So I ate another cupcake and a cookie and probably some other stuff, I was drunk.  And then on the way home today I bought four more cupcakes.  And the guy said something to me about being "hooked." I'm saving two for tomorrow though, so that makes it okay, right?

    Right?

    I wish I had never started with this.

  • Urg Noisy. I hate that for you. He's missing out on three great grandkids.
    image Ready to rumble.
  • Noisy, just tell yourself the reason he hasn't attempted to meet his grandkids is because he knows I'm out there, lurking, waiting to murder him.

    It's totally understandable! When you're not allowed to eat certain foods and you find something "normal" that fits in your diet, it's reasonable to go a little nuts at first. I give you permission.

    Note: I HATE when food service people recognize me as a "regular" and comment on it. It makes me not want to go back.  I KNOW I've been here three days this week! You don't have to point it out!

  • I'm glad I ate supper before reading this thread. Also, I'm happy to know that there are other people who share my BBQ sauce hate.

    Since this thread is getting full of randoms, I'm going to throw in my own instead of making a new thread. 

     My twin is getting married on Sept 5th, yay! So I'm planning the bachelorette partay, and all has been going well. My little sister was visiting my mom this weekend, and she texted me asking if mom could come to the bachelorette stuff. Gaahhhh. We're starting out with supper, and then moving on to crazy shenanigans later, and then meeting up with the guys for an after party. So I don't mind if she comes to the supper part, but I don't know how to nicely say "We don't want you around cramping our style" for the rest.

    I'm especially concerned because since the divorce, and losing weight, and DenimLorne, etc. She's ten times more weird and boundary-cross-y, and I'm really worried about her completely embarrassing my sister and making her party awkward.

    WWAFSBCND?

  • I love my mother, and am very close to her, but I draw the line at things like going to a bachelorette with her.  When I saw that she was on Facebook, and we had several friends in common (we used to work in the same field, and they were all professional contacts) I told her I would not accept a friend request from her.  And I have zero qualms about her crossing any bounds.  Mom at a bachelorette just seems weird.
  • No effing way would I invite my mom to any part of a bachelorette.  I think eve inviting her to the supper is just asking for trouble and awkwardness when she whines or mentions not being invited to the rest.

  • Supper! It's so ... *southern!*

  • Invite her to dinner but warn her that you will red card her if she gets embarrassing.

    Yes exactly.

    In actuality, the night is going to feature such things as togas, and glow bowling. It's already set up to be a goofy and probably embarrassing evening. But the good kind of embarrassing.

     I'm glad other people have commented that they would be weirded out by a mom at a bach party. I was fearing that people would be like "OMGGG you're so mmeeeeaannnn. Haven't you seen Gilmore Girls!?"
