Tonight was what what we call Leftover Protein Ramen.
Leftover grilled chicken, diced, chonked green cabbage, Vidalia onion, and matchstick carrots stir-fried in canola oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper tossed with cooked ramen noodles and its seasoning packet.

It's 4 servings for about $1.50 - $2 each.


Man I was eating dinner and cleaning up and missed it.

Today after 3 months of her not noticing I was walking my dogs back to the house, and Leia finally noticed the wasp nest.
Leia - Hey wasps!
Wasps- *attack positions*
Me, shortening the leash- "I've got her, Girls, don't worry!"
Into the house.
Wasps relax.
My younger dog is so foolish.

At this point I want to point out that within the first 7 years of our being together my husband left our debit card behind 5 times and 3 times someone picked it up and used it for hundreds of dollars in purchases.

In the rare case of things working properly, I ran out to the gas station and my hand was shaking from dragging the trash and recycling to the road while putting the debit PIN in at the cash register.
Hit a wrong key first but automatically hit enter.
Husband immediately got a Decline alert.
That's a tiny bit of piece of mind.

August in this household generally ends up being those Interesting Times people are cursed with living in, and I'm hoping this August remains completely boring.
However 2017 allowed me to do this for my kid.
Yes I'm That Mom.


That kid has a story for the rest of their life.

Child finds part of human jawbone on North Carolina beach. Pathologist says it’s a ‘historic’ find.

So this morning I poured myself my first cup of coffee and then opened the cabinet above the coffee maker to put the mostly full coffee pot in it, retracted the pot, shut the door, put the pot in the machine, and chugged my coffee.

It's going to be one of those days.

Woke up this morning to this sitting in my messages from my bestie and laughed out loud.

#12


I told him that he was born in 2006 and his eyes are primed to pick out the MCU.
And there's not one thing wrong with that.
I don't know how to express to people who are neurotypical the absolute shame we feel when we're not only incorrect but it's pointed out, no matter how gently.
I hope you take care when speaking to everyone in your life.
Because you never know.

Switched back to TV from streaming and was scrolling through the guide fairly rapidly saying noooo and then went Wait yes, and scrolled back.
Kid - The Avengers.
Me- No, Star Trek.
Kid goes into a shame spiral due to being wrong. Remember what I said earlier.
I said, "Honey- nothing wrong happened here. You did absolutely nothing wrong. I've been watching since I was in a high chair in 1974. My eyes SEE it immediately." 1/2

Finished episode 5 of season 2 and it's nice to see that they're continuing to inspire an ejection of WAIT WHAT NO NOT NOW when the episodes end and the credits roll.

It's very hard to explain to younger people that to GenX "dude" as an interjection is not gendered. Nor always human.
My kid gets it.
We will dude a pair of shoelaces that snaps.
The TV when it suddenly- pixels.
The power goes out? Dude.
Dude is a one syllable shorthand for proclaiming WTF. In humor; in offense.
It's a glorious word.

Aw, man, @Ch3fchr1sto that looked incredible and it is gone.

For about 15 minutes here I had that fear because I didn't understand if someone was being sarcastic or genuine.
It's an absolutely awful sensation.
Shame flares over potentially having screwed up.
Your ears get hot.
Your stomach lurches.
Naturally you fucked up AGAIN.
Well. I'm not doing this anymore.
So I'm going to keep to a narrow number of people from now on.
I'm 52 goddamn years old. It never goes away.

I'm so glad it rained this morning, because once again I woke up to find ants invading my kitchen looking for water, and now they're departing.

RIP to Paul, who gave us one of the greatest death scenes ever.

He was a goddamn delight.
