SAD TIMES CAN SUCK IT LETS ALL BE PARTY AND AWESOME

You had a Tic-Tac in your leg?

It was more like a single piece of Kix, but made of mutant human instead of corn/oats.

This really is the time of year most Minnesotans get intolerably happy-goofy.

Myself included, of course. I'm high-fiving myself for being a generally responsible person and adding an emergency services plan to my auto insurance.

Screw New Years! Life changes begin with spring!

suzy, that sounds positively vile/fascinating

I can't quite get to goofy/happy (because I really have no job yet, although I'm on the sub school nurse list here now) - but my kids definitely are. J took a lawn chair down the street yesterday and sat dangling her feet into the giant puddle that was there. Must have been cold, but she was having a great time.

in order to get outside today while at work i am taking the dog out so many times that he is starting to give me that wtf? look

in the interst of being party and awesome will you please all come to chicago next weekend and be at my wedding? or it will indeed be sad times sucking.

I cannot road trip to Chicago (SO SAD NOW) because I promised to help a friend who didn't pass his boards the first time out study for them that night. :(

But yay weddings!

take a laptop and Skype us all in

i will be deep in the woods of northern wisconsin far from the loving embrace of technology so i will not make it or skype it but i will BE PARTY AND AWESOME

actually the cabin i will be at has dish tv and a wii, just no internet or cel service

they made cabins into modern things at some point i guess who knew

I may reassess my plans to avoid nature if I can play videogames in it

hey jj can i ask what the shower situation is like in this cabin? just, you know, curious

unsullied by vile bostonians

you know, i really wanted to do the skype thing but the house has no wireless ;_;

No nearby Starbucks to leech access from?

haha no, we're having it at my in-laws' house out in suburbia

AYYYY BONE OFF SAD TIMES I JUST ATE A STEAK AND NOW I AM DRINKING RUM

Instead of Ebola, howz about E-Ballah ?!!?

It was more like a single piece of Kix, but made of mutant human instead of corn/oats.

Shouldn't Suzy have developed super mutant powers from this by now?

Dudes tonight I spent several hours chilling w/12 six week old puppies. Then I came home and watched my big fella frolic w/his best puppy friend while talking about movies and drinking beers. I am emotionally invincible at this point.

So yah, sad times, you can suck it as I am partying and it is awesome.

:D

That's awesome. SO envying you the time with the puppies and, of course, Henry.

I feel awesome!

YESTERDAY CHILLED IN A YARD W/BROS AND WINE AND THEN WENT TO THE BEACH: AWESOME!
LATER WE BBQ'D IN MY BACK YARD AND THE KITCHEN WASNT MESSY WHEN WE WERE DONE AND I STILL GOT TO BED AT A REASONABLE HOUR: AWESOME!
WOKE UP ASS-EARLY TODAY AND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO WORK: AWESOME!
HAD MY PT WORKED UP AND ORDERED PRETTY EARLY SO I GOT OUT BY 5PM EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CALL NIGHT: AWESOME!

GOT TOMORROW OFF: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!

grilled on the back deck yesterday with a beer in hand
grilled on the back deck today with a beer in hand
also got a big work thing done today, v. satisfying to mark that off the list

Cleaned the fuck out of my house today which feels awesome, drinking sidecars w/ k's best friend from chicago atm. Tomorrow: Birthday party BBQ for good friend that features specific Henry invite, but before that who knows? Booze! (speaking of which, gbx, text me if u want afternoon drinks)

I had such a fun weekend of not doing much/hanging out with A. and the kids. A. grilled burgers & brats and I ate too much, and I made a rhubarb cream cake and also ate too much. Slept in all three days. So great!

jj I had a friends bday BBQ, sorry!

rhubarb cream cake?!? holy shit

that sounds like my dream cake.

Okay, this is the EASIEST cake in the world to make:

Rhubarb Cream Cake

1 yellow cake mix
4 cups sliced rhubarb (I use more)
1 c. sugar
1 c. heavy cream

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare cake mix as directed on box. Put in greased 13X9 pan. Sprinkle rhubarb on top, then sprinkle on sugar. Slowly pour the cream over the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

My friend Lynn gave me the recipe. I did use maybe 5 cups of rhubarb (just picked it out of the garden FINALLY). The cream on top part sort of gives it a moist/custardy texture. It makes a LOT & it is pretty rich, so it would probably be a good idea to refrigerate it after it cools. Vanilla ice cream would go well with it if you have any lying about.

That's it!

It's kind of surprising how cake mixes can turn into something great when you throw a few non-cake mix ingredients onto them.

thank you sara<3, that sounds great.

it's very true that gussied up cake mixes can turn out wonderfully.

No problem at all! It just makes a ton. You have been warned!

SATURDAY NIGHT I WILL HAVE DRINKS OR SOMETHING

SUNDAY I GO TO HORSE RACES
