I play MtG, read things, garden ineffectually, and believe Warren Zevon was the greatest American songwriter.
I'm running late and in a bad mood. It was really not a great afternoon to rearrange the grocery store. Why do I have to backtrack 4 aisles to get biscuits? They should have stayed next to the eggs

Got the big consignment sale for summer items coming up and it's time for my kid's last favorite thing. The Fashion Show is when we try on summer items to see what doesn't fit anymore and may be sold and replaced. I firmly believe this can be done in a half hour. The kids take 1hr+. Let's see!

Today I rebuilt a kitchen drawer that the bottom was coming off of some. It was a nice satisfying project and made me feel handy.

Made jambalaya for dinner tonight. Just the second time I have and I basically winged it. It was also real good, so I feel like I've got this down now.

At the bakery they drew this picture on our box and now the dog-cat has obsessed my children for an hour and possibly entered family mythology forever.

Walgreens said my wife's prescription wouldn't be ready until Monday. When I asked if there was a nearby Walgreens that could do it today, it turned out that the original pharmacy could in fact do it today and it would be ready shortly. Why the fuckery?

Black eyed peas, greens. Mirepoix, and kielbasa. There's a good bit of paprika running through, both hot and sweet. Served with Kenji's cornbread.

First day hike at Cedar Hill State Park. A family favorite, with trails through the grasslands and up the hills into woods overlooking the lake. It's a beautiful day for it.

Just set a gingerbread house on the back porch. We're hoping a possum comes to bless us with luck in the new year.

Got my first ever email from my 8 year old. It was a screenshot of the quickest route to Chick Fil A. But like the 4th closest CFA.

One of my favorite things about my parents house is my dad's broken old clock. Such an endless source of amusement that I would dream of replacing it.

Lunch almost on the table and someone asks for ranch. There's none in the house, but that's why I'm here. Uncle Mike to the rescue with homemade ranch in 5.

Every now and again in the midst of making too many cookies (because I didn't plan well) I get an idea and feel compelled to follow through. So, toffee apple oatmeal cookie. Just the recipe from the Quaker box top, - 1c raisin, +1c chopped Heath, +1c dried apple.

This entree is $15 for about 1500 calories. I really want like 700 for $7.50.

There's a fast food place I go and while it's not amazing, the burger always comes hot, with cold fixings, and a warm bun that's been crisped lightly. And their sides are a little under seasoned, but always crispy and quite hot. That's like 90% of getting it right.
