it’s raining! and my first thought is: OH GOOD, my car was so dirty it was getting *crispy.* This will help!

in the last 24 hrs I’ve developed an excruciating neck cold. It is zero (count it!) zero fun.

mike and the boys were excited to screen for me “strange brew,” as I hadn’t seen it. I love that our dorky family finds that movie so funny!

Um. By gatling, I mean garlicy. I blame the sounds of Eleven playing a 1st person zombie shoot’em-up. Pickles ae GARLICY. guns are Gatling.

Just cracked open my first dill pickle attempt. And they are awesome! So Gatling and spicy!

Wind isn’t howling any more, it’s freight-training. I’m so glad the roofer is essentially done and we don’t have to worry about lift-off.

the wind is howling but we had delicious mexican lasagna for dinner, and looking forward to leftovers-rice pudding. I think we’ll make it.

Most sexist thing I say (all the time) has to be “I’ll be the dad today” as I take a seat at the head of a table. #gottastopit

I ate excessive amounts of yum pickled garlic last night w. unfortunate results today. Apologies to the dudes on the treadmills behind me.

Green Bay, I begrudge you not your superbowl win after this awesome statement! http://thinkprogress.org/2011/02/15/packers-support-workers/

I guess it’s times like this that I really miss having a television. Oh, to be watching the Westminster Kennel Club right now!

I could buy a paperback book on amazon for $7 or pay $10 for the kindle edition. Or I could request it from my library. #notsohardchoices

Tragedy! My awesome iPhone case interferes too much with the weak signal here on n. nj. But it’s so pretty! http://twitpic.com/3ztm31

me: no one knows WHO st valentine was! @mikegrundy: he massacred people! me: nuh-uh, no way! @mikegrundy: oh yeah, that was al capone.

Am nerdily researching precise position all my elected officials so I can write a v. strong letter re: our difficult refi of our mortgage.

also I think the secret reason to my successful weekend was: NO INTERNET. it hurts my heart, but it’s true.

extra successful at-home weekend: read 3 books, finished 2 knitting projects, made 2 batches of beans, and had nice lunch with mom!

Turns out I am the first person Eleven thinks of when he thinks of an engineer – even before @mikegrundy! That’s pretty neat (and dorky).

Just tried to chip away some of the iceberg that swallowed our house; it’s official: we need a flamethrower. Even a chainsaw wouldn’t work.
