Nice.. leave for an hour and the thread goes to the penises (?)

Wish I had a glass of wine right now.. currently sitting on the floor in DS room telling him to close his eyes so he will go to sleep. My butt hurts

Total topic shift
We should revive the writing checks soon @luckydad. I'm dying to start something new but need to focus and figure out just what.

Lol. I was like "Lexi, only old people write checks."

Then I remembered! And I want it! I need to be creative.

Did I say I love you guys today? I think I did like three times, but really, I do. #pirateoctopus

missyishere · February 2014

I'm having sleep issues as of late. I think maybe I really need to start drinking in the drinking threads.

Was the message in the package, Missy? I never quite trust Amazon on those.

Yes, thank you @lexilupin. You made me all mushy today.

Also, I guess I'm sleeping lonesome tonight, because DH is downstairs not feeling well. I am not unhappy about this.

missyishere · February 2014

I had to put a stop to watching it, too. I think season 3?

Hiiii!!!

I want my child to fall asleep so very, very badly.

::continues Dear diary::

Gus goes to a pediatric urology clinic in OKC Friday. H can't get off work but my neighbor and her ds might come up with us so we can have some fun after.
But I'm really nervous we're going to start talking surgery. Minor surgery but ugh. No bueno.

Aww, hugs, mama. Maybe @wasnotwas can give you pointers? Her DS just had a small procedure today.

GTFTS, little Monkey!

Fo real!

I need to temper chocolate, which I haven't done in years, and will probably fuck up, and will definitely fuck up if I have a helper.

It's chocolate science. Tempering is basically aligning the crystals in the chocolate to create a shiny finish, with a hard texture. Most candy has oils in it, so it stays soft, and pretty, but not shiny. Straight chocolate, if not tempered, ends up blooming, which is the term for chocolate that is dull with white spots or streaks in it. It's called tempering, because you bring the chocolate up to a certain temperature, then slowly bring it back down, while seeding it with already tempered chocolate, and then once it gets to the correct temp, bringing the temp back up slightly. It's a bit complicated, but it's prettier and makes the chocolate melt better and feel better on the tongue.

ETA: Untempered chocolate is also softish, with a kind of weird texture.

lol

missyishere · February 2014

N has been going to sleep late recently. Me no likey, but she is happy the whole time. I think I'd really still rather have alone time, though. Sorrynotsorry, goose.

Monkeybabe · February 2014

Chocolate science is my kind of science.

missyishere · February 2014

I like dark chocolate.

Monkeybabe · February 2014

Missy is gonna love my science.

missyishere · February 2014

I usually prefer things to be hard versus dull @monkeybabe.

klondikebar · February 2014

Hugs @lexilupin. I hope the appointment goes well.

Monkeybabe · February 2014

Let me just get my big spoon, @lexilupin.

missyishere · February 2014

Oh there's nothing halfway about the Iowa way to treat you when we treat you which we may not do at all.

missyishere · February 2014

There's an iowa kind of special chip on the shoulder attitude, which we've never been without that we recall.

You're looking at her.

Oh cheese sounds good, but I already brushed my teeth. Fwp.

I brush my teeth at night early, so I don't late night snack. I am too lazy to brush twice in one night.

I'm going to learn to ski and surf this year. Just thought I'd randomly throw that out there.

missyishere · February 2014

Is that before or after his first snow experience @lexilupin?

LuckyDad · February 2014

LexiLupin said:

I was telling H I wanted to try skiing at least once in my life. "That doesn't really sound like us." Thanks for the support dude! :P No interest in surfing though. Water scares me.

Skiiing is fun. Do it!

lol- before I think.
It wasn't his first snow experience, just first sledding. So to speak. Apparently first shoveling at my parents' house too.

Shoveling isn't exactly a fun, leisurely activity in the snow.

I had homework to do but I am back now!

Rewarded myself with a glass of wine.

Eh, I like doing it once a year when I visit my mama. It's fun when it's just half an inch on a driveway

Want a personalized experience?

Cheers!
