Gone Phishing

did you know that you can buy this hardly used at all range on the internet for next to nothing?

don't worry about it, it's totally not a scam:

don't worry,  i totally didn't almost fall for it, and it wasn't thanks to mara hermana that i have any money left:

and brother-in-law ryguy obviously didn't fall for a different kind of scam on the same day:

because we are good at the interwebs!

May Day! May Day!

imagine how lucky i felt when i got these:

for may day. super clever of the florist to deliver them late so that i wouldn't get them until monday, thus adding to the surprise of may day.

thanks, papa bear!

Burning Down the House

oh hey, i didn't see you there. i've been super busy chasing a fat little baby everywhere. why? because now that he won't stop moving ever:

and this is what our floors look like:

i have to constantly make sure he doesn't die. but don't worry, i have worked out a surefire baby proofing method that will keep the baby safe:

until the house burns down....

But I Won't Do That....

good luck: the turkey meatloaf came out great, and totally cooked through:

bad luck: the meat thermometer didn't fare so well:

good luck: cm got me a new one:

and it's digital!!

Spam Sandwich

one of my favorite authors is now spamming ME:

does that make me some sort of big shot??

Chop Suey

lucky for me, the new knife i bought works really well:

don't worry, i barely managed to avoid going against the manufacturer's cautions:

but in the end i DID avoid it.

Sarah Says: Love Your Mother

this is sarah:

sarah is a totally lovely person, and i am lucky to have her as a friend. however, there is this one thing....sarah is the kind of socially responsible person who has a higher degree in do-gooding:

and because of that, just looking at her stupid, adorable face is forcing me to be a good environmental citizen. so...no more delicious, unsustainable tuna:

but good news! it turns out canned salmon actually works out great AND is relatively sustainable:

we did it!
