Junie Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 More ketchup. I can't imagine what would happen if I heard a hamster under my bed. It would be the scream heard coast to coast. I'm not exactly a Muggle, but not a Pureblood either. I have not let my kids read HP, although it is on ds15's reading list for Brit Lit. :D If Bill keeps posting here (Welcome!) I guess I'll have to educate myself about lacrosse. I had beef vegetable soup for dinner. There's plenty left if anyone wants any. The dc refuse to eat it. I've never heard of beerocks. I *might* google it. The cornbread sounds delicious. Mary, you should have your dh pick up a test -- just in case. Texasmama, there has to be an easier way to raise money. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I really really need to do a load of laundry tonight. I have absolutely no clean pants to wear. I even went and worked out on the treadmill at the Y in a dress and tennis shoes because of it. As far as I know, no one snickered. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Dinner party is over. We had a retired military family over tonight. Their kids line up in age with ours, so an epic foam sword battle happened. The cilantro lime rice was perfect with our chicken soft tacos.

JoJosMom Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm scared to admit that I only read the first Harry Potter. Aloud to DD. It made her nuts, because I read too slowly. :glare: In the last week, I've read Day of Atonement and The Martian, and I'm halfway through All the Light We Cannot See. Does that buy me back any points? (BTW, can you tell who OD'd on non-fiction and is now binging on the opposite?) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I read the first four chapters of Harry Potter, the first one, and almost missed my train due to falling asleep. I guess I'm a squib? I don't hate it. The story in itself sounds interesting, it's just not my style of writing. We tried the "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" book method. We got pregnant 3 months after we got married. We had planned on it being 3 years. Yeah, it took us 6 months... we saw one another once a month due to geography. Second one, the first hit was a home run! Thank heavens my partner has had his vesicles snipped for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream about a one person vacation on a beach with a nice cold beverage, listening to the waves crash gently upon the shore. No noises, no complaining, no work. Just the sand and waves. Dream on.

I joined in and quoted with him, as dh stared at me and asked what it was from. I was all "Shakespeare, dude!". He said, "That's why I like you." He is the same with history, btw.
