The problem with kids…

…is that they appropriate your bubble wrap (a.k.a. “pops” in kid-ese). Your hours of blissfully popping are over. I love big-bubble bubble wrap, and we just got a package with some in it a couple of days ago, and do you know how many bubbles I got to pop? Three, that’s how many. That sucks.

I just discovered the recipe section on the Reynolds Wrap website and I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. Tonight: pork chops in chutney.

That is, if the thunderstorm doesn’t take us out. Just what central Texas needs right now, more rain.

I didn’t get to the gym today, most notably because I have canker sores. In my throat. And they hurt, and that’s on top of the fact that I slept funny the other night and my neck’s all screwed up and I can’t turn my head. Wah wah, pity me, mmmm-kay?

Arf!

An angry 404 error.
Odd nipples. Really.
Hey, I think I dated the guy on the right.

There’s a whole movement dedicated to keeping Austin weird. This menu demonstrates a typically non-weird restaurant. My favorite is the Hill Country Poor People in Silly Hats Made of Arugula, with the Braised Mixed Field Hands in Curdled Lhasa Apso Saliva as an appetizer.

Hey, I could actually use the humidifier. Maybe. Come to think of it, I haven’t used a humidifier since the 2 yo was teeny. Nevermind.

Pass and close my gold box.
