No one has anything to say? A random? Something? It's scary quiet in here. Although the silence did cause me to wander off and learn that there are 7 kinds of meat in the neck of a turtle.

Re: This is pathetic.
Yesterday I was pondering the dearth of reasons to think homosexuality is wrong other than "because God said so", which today has me pondering the very idea of assuming someone's opinions are moral based on how much bigger and stronger he/she is than you. Which reminded me of Q.
Want to ponder the nature of Q with me?
The turtle meat thing - I just canNOT believe that woman actually exists. Well, I have seen that poster many times before, so I don't think she made it up. I just don't want to believe that woman is real.
I had a meeting all morning.
I met my old crazy coworker for lunch. You know, the one that freaked out on her BF in his front lawn and banged her head on the door saying she was inflicting pain on herself for him and then took a bunch of pain pills and got behind the wheel?
Anyway, she is pregnant and due two days before me. And she seems to really have her shitt together. I am happy for her.
My mom is going to do pink or bright red manic panic highlights in her hair.
I just ate a double doozie cookie from great american cookie company and I am so full I seriously am considering vomiting it up. I.am.in.pain.
Oh..my...GAWD...I haven't seen one of those in ages. I'm going to think about that the rest of the day.
I called my doctor's office because I've had pain in my right hip since my procedure 3 weeks ago. They told me that can be caused by the way they had me positioned during the procedure. My conclusion is that they must have had me hanging by my right leg from the ceiling to cause this type of discomfort.
My mom called to tell me not to have the baby today because it's Oprah's birthday and she doesn't like Oprah. Tomorrow isn't a good day either, because she doesn't like the number 27.
In related news, I was having strong enough contractions this morning that I texted H and told him to keep his phone nearby and be prepared to come home early. But the baby seems to be listening to my mom, because the contractions have pretty much stopped. H decided he's still going to come home early though, and that makes me happy.

I told my son I'd make shrimp tonight so I've been looking at shrimp recipes because I want to try something different. now I have this stuck in my head;
You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

It's Calvin's birthday today!!! AWWWW!!! And I had no idea it was Oprah's as well. Sad.
I just ate a box of mac and cheese like a fatty.
ETA: it was the whole grain kind....extra points?
My dad just texted that my grandmother is in recovery from her mastectomy, and the doctor's said she did really well.
I didn't realize how stressed I was until it all wooshed out of me. Stupid class tonight is the only thing holding my *** together at this point.

Last night on my way to the train after work, I stopped at a Baskin Robbins and got a scoop of Rocky Road ice cream. YUM!
But on the train, I realized one scoop is hardly enough, so I went to the Rite Aid near my apartment and bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's "Americone Dream" (you know, the one with Stephen Colbert on the package). OMG....so good. I ate about half of the pint. But that is 2 sessions of ice cream in one night. I feel a bit like a fatty.
buddha, I'm glad it went well for you grandmother and hope she makes a speedy recovery.
This is how my brain interpreted that sentence
Mashed -- PW's Penne a la Betsy or Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp are both supposed to be really good.
Damn you Winged. I don't know what that cookie is, but now I am wishing I had access to a cookie cake. I would demolish one of those right now.

I am dying at Buddha's picture.
And Mod, that chicken was fantastic. Can you post the ressypea?

Happy Birthday Calvin!
Yay Buddha!
I ended up in urgent care yesterday morning due to mastitis. This sh!t hurts and I had the shivers/dizzeness/couldn't keep anything down for a good 4 hours yesterday morning. No fun at all.

My mom just got out of back surgery and everything went well! They decided they only needed to do the less evasive surgery, so now she has less time in the hospital and a shorter recovery time. Woohoo!
I just finished running 5.15 miles! I feel like a rockstar!
I would like to thank the Academy and Kale. Mostly kale...
And it totally is not the case that I thought the same thing until this post. Uh-uh, no way.
Man, people around here have too many chickens.

Between this post and one on ML talking about cupcakes, I would cut off my right arm for a baked good right now. There is a cupcake kiosk a couple of blocks away. There are also about 4 bakeries within a short walk. WTF? I usually don't have a sweet tooth, but for the past week or so, it has gotten out of control.
