Happy Halloween!


The tiger and pumpkin are my nieces, Nora and Maggie.
In other news.....
Congratulations to Lori and Rob on the birth of their daughter, Julia Rose!
I cooked a real meal for the first time in ages...I really enjoy cooking, but for the past few months, I've been getting home so late that I'm living off microwaved tortillas with cheese. And beer.
I tried out one of Sarah's recipes from The Pink Shoe Cookbook: Pork Chops with Apple Stuffing. Delicious and very tasty!
Some recent statistics.....
Number of times I've almost burned down my apartment over the past week = 3
(1. left the iron on overnight. and it's one of those old ones that doesn't turn off automatically. 2. left a candle burning. 3. this morning, I put a kettle on the stove to boil water for tea and oatmeal. I waited, and waited, and still, no whistle. After about twenty minutes, I realized something strange was going on, and went to check the kettle. Turns out I never put any water in it, so now the empty kettle was burning hot and starting to warp and turn black. Awesome. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?)
Number of people who have made a "happy ending" comment after I mention that I'm getting a massage today (for the pinched nerve, which is much better but still smarting a bit) = 2
Percentage of times that I've laughed at happy ending comments = 100

I don't see nothing wrong with a happy ending. Is it the same for a woman though?

I find it extremely funny that Friendly's refers to there after dinner sundae as the "happy ending."

Kinda gross.

Roomater! You left a candle burning?? Didn't we cover this, oh, ELEVEN YEARS AGO?!

(Jeez. I can't believe it's been that long.)

Maybe I should just give up with the candles already....

p.s. They don't call it Friendly's for nothin'!
