texasmama Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Moving in the right direction….. Beneficial, beautiful, benevolent bean bread. That is a LOT of alliteration. Some of it might be stretching the truth just a wee bit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I make a tuna loaf. It is from my childhood. The recipe - not the actual tuna loaf because that would be moldy and gross. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 What is wrong with "beef"? What did you say instead? Not sure, exactly. A little too... beefy? And I honestly can't remember what we chose instead. Some version of steak? I do remember that we considered picking another dish from the caterer entirely. I truly have no idea what, if anything, I actually ATE at the wedding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 We are done with math. Dd survived even though the last twenty minutes were soooooo hard. She has now run joyfully out the door to do parkour at the park a block away. She scoffed my suggestion that she take a cell phone with her not quite realizing that I was suggesting it so that she could have a means to call 9-1-1 if she breaks her neck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I was in a fairly productive meeting (the most significant point having been the director telling me that she would back me up on my decisions), brought dh back to work, then Aldi, then bank, then maple syrup pick-up, then library, then home to put away groceries and throw together something to eat. Just finished up with dinner, which contained neither beans nor tuna, both of which I hate. Egg rolls (frozen from Aldi!) and lettuce salad for us. After 5 months waiting on hold at the library, I finally have a copy of Pioneer Girl to read! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I drove 20 km to drop ds off at a thing. Drove home & ran some errands & hauled a bunch of heavy things downstairs. Then drove 20 km there & back to get ds home again. Got to play with a puppy. Not my kind of puppy but still it was a puppy & puppies are good for the soul. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Rusty bunny bit me! He didn't really mean to bite me. He likes to grab your clothes to tell you to move if you are in His Highness's way. He grabbed more than just clothes. I yelped. He skittered to a safe place. Smart bunny. Not that I would have hurt my grandbunny but I did threaten him with his middle name, Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell from here. Took Lilycat to the vet today, and the vet told a funny story about doing a squirrel operation. Then she informed us that squirrels and bunnies have teeth that keep growing so they grind the top and bottom ones together. There is a long name for this. Who knew???

ikslo Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I think Stu for a bunny is perfect. I actually had to work today at work. Then I took DS to the pool, where he was swimming/playing with another boy, and when the crowd thinned out I approached his mom to introduce myself, say hi, that sort of thing. She shook my hand, told me her name, then turned back to phone and ignored me. So finally I just walked away. I'm trying to figure out where I went wrong. LOL Please don't feel sorry for me, though.
