So, Marie and I were having a discussion the other night about what to have for dinner when I asked her if she felt brave enough to serve Devon applesauce with dinner. She responded with something like, "Don't be silly. Applesauce isn't a side item, it's either a salad or a dessert." Now, this concept is completely new to me, because applesauce ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to Ian, who turns 23 today. Yay! And he runs a kick-ass game for us, despite our (Marie's) efforts to destroy the world one island at a time.

Okay, here are the answers. If it's crossed out, someone knew it.

1) Give me all the money in the register. And these here Huggies. (Raising Arizona)

I generally only get my hair cut about 3 times a year. I whack it off incredibly short and then let it grow into a tangled mop. This time I've been saying ( Read more... )

This is a comment that I posted in Traceroo's LJ today, which seems to have sparked a lively discussion. For the sake of Trace's sanity, I'm moving the discussion here.

So, on a tip from Liz, Marie and I decided to take in a movie last night with Little Gingersnap in tow. I don't know how many people are aware of this, but Atlanta has a drive-in movie theater. By the time King Arthur started at 9:15 (just after dark), Devon was just about asleep, and stayed quiet through most of the movie. But even if he'd ( Read more... )

Sunday night, getting ready to go to bed. Just Little Gingersnap left to feed. Then, Little Gingersnap arches his back, turns red, stops breathing, turns blue. This lasts for 15 - 20 seconds.
