is now my official phrase for this summer.
the people i work for have a button inside their fridge that says, "holiday mode". what does this mean for a fridge???
for a person, more specifically me, it means low levels of stress and high levels of fun and fancy....
my summer has been mostly that so far...
12 hrs of children and me tomorrow, getting a good nights rest.

creeperi met this guy once, gave him my number...
big mistake. i have never had a stalker, so i guess this is the closest it gets. he has been calling and texting at all hours.
did he not get the clue when i stopped responding? i never even went on a date with him and i don't even remember his name.
pretty sure it is time for him to move on to pursuing a female that will actually talk to him.
in the same way, when a guy stops responding to my calls or texts, i stop. i even do regular delete sweeps through my phone and remove people i don't speak to anymore or am angry with so i don't make a mistake and text or call.
the only people i wouldn't dare delete are my family and oldest friends... but everyone else is fair game. maybe this makes me weird but i don't care.
that being said, at least there is one guy who really wants to date me... even though he will never get a date, it is a somewhat nice feeling to be wanted.
i went to my friend's house yesterday, and she and her husband have created this insane huge garden in their backyard, and they have so many different things growing. bamboo, pumpkins, herbs, peaches, oranges, zucchini, peppers.... it was really neat and it made me feel like i should take on more tasks like that and be creative. or maybe i can just visit their garden when i have the urge...
much respect to those who garden, i don't like getting dirty or lifting things or sweating when it is not for a workout or dancing. i do however like gardens, and tea, and tiny little sandwiches and cakes...

And all that talking reminds me of cricket even though I don't like watching the game so much (it's uber boring!)

Oh man! I feel for you. They are awesome! Maybe we will make some after yoga this week. Finding gluten-free bread is a problem though... Cucumber sandwiches are typically made from this kind of bread: :::link::: It's rather dense. The thinness is actually just slicing. You need a REALLLLLLY sharp heavy wide knife to get the characteristically thin slices. The bread should not crumble and you can only achieve that effect when you slice uniformly.
And you need to find those sharp crisp smaller cucumber that don't have seeds. Slightly chilled butter. Freshly sqeezed lemon to lightly season the cucumber and salt. I also like coriander chutney in it but (e:Paul) would probably die...
Anyway, the idea is to just get a gluten free bread and slice it VERY VERY thin (but no so thin as to crumble) and cut the crusts off (I love the crusts so I just eat them as I chop them off..) Pardon my snobbery but your kitchen has woefully blunt knives and we won't come anywhere close to a decent slice...

Do you, tiny? I've never had one. I know you are supposed to use the thinest bread you can find, I haven't found any thin gluten free bread.

I make the best cucumber sandwiches in the world.
And I am not even being humble when I say that.

I do the same thing with phone numbers. We'll have to plan a tea party in the garden this august. I've always wanted to make cucumber sandwiches!

the deal with the insurance is if they are lost i have to pay 350 an ear, if they are just broken its free. and technically i broke them, or the machine did, but the company doesn't need to know that!

I once had candy in my pockets and all my laundry came out candy-coated. It was pretty gross and I had to wash it all over again. Such a pain. I check pockets more diligently before I do laundry nowadays.

You must have put them in your pocket and put that dress/skirt/trousers in the laundry. I always find pens, disintegrated tissue papers, pencils and whatnots in my pockets and sprayed all over my laundry sometimes. I then have to rinse them all over again - especially if its something like an ink-leaking pen or a tissue paper bit-flood.

being deaf sucksi swear i thought i was on the upside of everything...
lost my hearing aids. zero clue to where they could be. i didn't bring them out with me over the weekend because i went to a hotel and pool party...
had them saturday morning... and now they have vanished. they are nude colored and tiny... the worst thing ever to try and find.
already ordered new ones, for $700 and that's after insurance coverage. better then $3000 but still...
i am going to be very sad for a day and then get over it.

I am completely flummoxed by stereos, component systems and televisions as well. Uncle Dudley asked me how she do internet things on her tv, I knew it was too old to do such things but also couldn't even start to figure out how to make it happen. :-)

I am way behind on TV tech as well as I haven't had a TV for the same span of time... maybe a bit more. But I have had more laptops and computers and other ridiculous peripherals than is probably healthy...

wow - that is so cool. I didn't know such a thing existed. That would be handy for EVERYTHING. Or everything just need a GPS chip that you can track.

do they have any metal? You could borrow a metal detector from someone and scope about the house and yard... Might be hard if it is in the kitchen or in the tool shed though.

Maybe it when you open and close your fridge a lot? So it might be to keep it cooler?
It's time to clear out the freezer food because you never know?
