More big news on the Domestic Imp front: Wolf applied for his dream job a cpl of wks ago. It's more pay, less hrs, and in a location that we can afford to buy our first home. AND, as a bonus, the weather is much milder, which means that it's better for me...cold weather + RSD = pain flares. HE GOT CALLED FOR AN INTERVIEW TODAY!!! Wooooo hooooo! He goes for the interview on Thurs. Praying this happens...it's honestly a perfect set up, in all ways for us. |

I learned something new today. I always thought the Superbowl had to do with bowling. Thanks, Syd!

Common mistake. Truly, the name Superbowl was given back in the early 1800's when basketball was created. Back then they lobbed heads of lettuce into a large bowl and from that bowl they made a salad that was, super.

If you're preparing something that's hot and tangy, like buffalo wings, the sweet, aromatic taste of the lychees would be a perfect counter-balance. Swachski, you're a genius for thinking that up! I'm so going to make that a dish. ![]() PS. Holding thumbs for you and Wolf, Imp.

I hardly ever wench any more.
![]() And the holiday is alright so far. Except once again I've reminded myself that I have nothing to talk about with my dad. I can actually have conversations with my stepmum, but with dad it's more like, he'll talk a lot and I'll just add, "Yeah"s and "Oh, right"s and "Ah, okay"s a lot... *shrug* I've never been able to hold a conversation with my dad before, so I shouldn't be surprised. At most, if I have something to say then we reverse roles. ... I fell off the wagon today, and had a beer while playing pool at the club. Whoops. First alcoholic drink in about 2-3 months. And hopefully the last for a while, too.

Well at least he talks to you Cliff. You might be one of those people who connects with their parents later in life. It can totally happen.
Dudes, I edited 10k today. I'm spent.

Good evening homedogs. I am back from work. I am happy.
And yes Rose I was joking. But it sounded kind of true, I thought

Hi Sydney, glad you came home from work happy. It's always nice when that happens.
So now we know Superbowl has nothing to do with an unfortunate lettuce that became salad. I must say it did sound true and could not resist the urge to Google it later. I was suitably enlightened, smiled and had no urge whatsoever to thump the lovely Sydney. |
