The boy is bringing a friend to our house this weekend. I am SO not looking forward to this. The parents sound totally decent (Gene’s on the phone right now with them) but I’d really love to just skip the whole thing.

Scooby and Betty’s Menu for Today…
1) Beef 2) Telephone 3) My OTHER brown sandals 4) Ink pen (ink just can’t be good for dogs) 5) Attachment for Dyson Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. (Sorry. Typing the “H” so much was really comforting).
You know it’s time to leave the craft store…
when you’re eyeing the display of Xmas themed ceramic loaf pans and thinking, “I could bake some sort of bread and give it as Xmas presents!” So yeah, I went to the craft store/homeware place for my annual “Oh, why the hell not? Let’s try to CREATE something” trip. Last year’s creation was this. I…
Yum!
Made these for dinner tonight. The verdict is that they are VERY good. I grew up eating my mother’s stuffed green peppers and I loved them! However, I wanted something a little more offbeat so I found the recipe. I made it with ground lamb instead of ground beef. I had no idea how fatty…
I.Am.So.Upset
Freaking doggies. I came home about a half hour ago and Gene told me to go outside to see what “my babies” have done. It’s absolute footwear carnage…oh my god. It’s the end of my awesome Lands End sandals, my Babe the Pig slippers, near the end of my (NEW) brown shoes, the Homer Simpson…

Today is D’s birthday. I took her to lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. My boss gave her a bunny figurine meant to hang off bookshelves. She also hugged D. Yuck.
