yay! other official water. there's a landmark thread somewhere....

I drew two penises today; or maybe the same one two ways

I know!

I remember my best mate Maddie really, really wanted a sweater with batwing sleeves. She was so excited when her mum came home with one for her. It was pale blue as I recall. And was way too big for her, but she still wore it to death.

I have a pink top with batwing sleeves.
I remembered that style as being baggy and forgiving.
I rarely wear it now, because the thing I most wanted to hide back in the 80s was a flat chest and boney ribcage. Turns out it's not so forgiving on pot bellies...

I think the customer I just helped was a drunk Indian woman. She told me "This office smells really bad, what should I do?" ....I'm computer support.

all my boards seem a bit slow today. Guess people are actually --gasp--working!

Part of the Treating Mum series. Yes, I know showing love with food is stereotypical, but I learned it from her :)

Moules Marinaire for dinner with locally baked bread and oven chips.
A glass of white wine for her, fizzy water for me. I cooked and Dads and I did the washing up /clearing away. It was a treat for me too, although none of the ingredients are expensive - just something we haven't had in a long, long time. The mussels on Monday put us both in the mood.

Tomorrow morning I tackle the ironing (groan - I hate it and shop with an eye to never having to iron anything!) My sister offered my BIL's services - he does all the ironing in their house. But I'd feel like a heel if I accepted - I live here for a peppercorn rent after all. And Law brought round a really flamboyant Autumn bouquet of flowers that I am enjoying immensely.

And & Dec are on Jonathan Ross tonight, so I'm going to Sky + it and watch it tomorrow as I iron. Should cheer me enough to get through it.

When signing office birthday cards, I always like to sign it early, and include a note from the birthday person to his or her self. For example:

Dear Maggie: Happy Birthday to the most awesome person I've ever known. You get better every single day, and the world LOVES you. Your friend, Maggie.

Other people, if they read the messages when they sign are like WTF? Also, if the person to whom the card is addressed reads it (test time) they wonder when they wrote THAT.

Also, the sound of someone munching chips like they've never eaten chips in their life, is a most annoying sound.

HAGGIS! Thats awesome! I am definitely doin that next time.

Not the pumpkins!
 

About two weeks ago, I bought the last can of cooked pumpkin on the shelf at the local grocery store to use in some cupcakes Mrs. glatt was making for a pot luck. On the phone today, Mrs. glatt mentioned that she had been to 3 different grocery stores in town looking for canned pumpkin to use in another recipe. All the shelves were bare. We joked about that for a bit. Who's buying all the pumpkin? Is there a big pumpkin pie contest going on in town? Were they recalled, or something?

So I got on Google, and to my surprise found out that there is a nation wide pumpkin shortage!

Thanksgiving is going to be canceled this year. No pumpkin pie.

What about Halloween?

We're lousy with actual pumpkins, but it's awfully hard to get canned innards.

Apparently the jack o lantern kind isn't the same as the baking kind.
