i asked her to make a list quickly.  but that certainly does not excuse her spelling…

i mean, seriously?  “pototes”?  what the heck are “pototes”?  and scratching out “pototes” does not excuse the fact that she actually really very comically spelled potatoes “pototes”. 

and then to punish me, b/c she just KNEW i would post this, she did this to me…

i love my sister.

did you move my laundry basket?
i did.  in other words, it was in my way. 

the cursor is just staring at me.  blinking.  mockingly…  nothing to write, nothing to write, my gah d, what?  are you blocked again?!  oh.  so.  very.  mockingly. 

the fact is, i have SO much to write.  i just can’t do it right now.  at least not for a few more days, perhaps a week or so.  and not b/c i don’t want to share b/c oh my do i want to share.  i just can’t.  it wouldn’t be right.  it would be… unfair to share.  right now, anyway. 

so, here are some of this week’s super exciting highlights:

1.  everyone is having babies.  everyone!  but not me.  and i hate them all.*

2.  marcella’s is way overrated.  i had dinner there , last night, with the bff and it was just… not good.  i was SO disappointed.  but oh yum = arancini (fried risotto, mushrooms, mozzarella)!!

3.  yum.  jeni’s.  pumpkin 5-spice ice cream.  yum.  mmmmm.  yumyumyum.  ah.  the red hot apple cider sorbet is something to shout about, as well.

4.  yesterday’s lunch from the elevator was tasty.  so tasty that it might be my new fave.  maybe.  perhaps.  probably.  hmmm… what’s for lunch today?

5.  i have over twenty pounds of fuji apples.  i’ve already made applesauce (post forthcoming) and caramel apples.  now what?  and can i freeze these things?  or am i going to have to peel them and vacuum seal them before they go into the icebox?

6.  numbers 2-5 are all about food.  bubble-gut inducing.  treadmill, much?

* i don’t really HATE them.  perhaps just a bit envious.  not that i want a baby, today, anyway… but the mere thought of not being able to have more… ovary stabbing painful.

who knew thomas was so nosy?

** this is a “sticky” post.  regular/update blog posts are below… **

miss exmi over at expensive mistakes and cheap thrills tagged me in a lovely meme.  rules are as follows:

1.  post a screen shot of your desktop
2.  explain

this is actually on the pc at my office, though the image on my own notebook is identical.

i took this photo of silly monkey as practice for school photos.  between his smile and the fluke of a jet stream above the trees and setting sun, i would SO vote this photo as photo of the year.  it’s a beautiful shot.  and not just b/c my silly monkey is the focal point. 

i was ready to go to bed at 9pm.  and then i logged onto facebook.  and now it’s WAY past 1130pm and i’m just now headed upstairs. 

and i wonder why i’m always so tired.

look, silly monkey, you got some mail!
i want to see it.
ok.  will you read it to me?
mommy is my favorite girl.  amen.

my name is silly monkey boy.
oh yea?  what is my name?
mommy.
mommy, what?
mommy girl.
