Would someone please come take these dogs out for a last potty break? I am having trouble getting out of bed. I can give you 4 dollars and some pad thai.

:(
Rick came over for dinner and Herman bit him on the leg when he walked out of the kitchen. Fortunately, R had jeans on so it didn’t break the skin, but this dog’s mental state is deteriorating and it’s tearing me up. (He’s 13— an old 13, as he had a horrible life previous to being rescued.) I am at a loss. Do I get him a muzzle? Is that going to freak him out...
I am ridiculously out of the TV loop and I have never seen a 50” HD plasma in someone’s living room. I am frankly terrified. OMG! GIANT JALAPENO! and Alton Brown’s pores. I feel like a time traveler.
A tale of cake
Entering stairwell: Sniff sniff. What smells so good? Someone’s baking! MMMM cake. I could go for some cake. Why don’t I ever bake? Sniff sniff…. I neeeeeeeeeed cake.
Approaching apartment: What’s this package outside the door? With a sweet note on it.
Could it be? YES! It’s cake!
In kitchen: It’s still warm. Banana chocolate chip? Oh god. Cake. ...
Chicken Pot Pie
Looking up recipes and making my shopping list. Dinner tonight is for a friend who is in need of comfort.
Here is my offering for Haiku Day:
soggy, cold and wet
demoralizing winter
will this day not end?
M, Herman and Maddie are all snoring in time. It’s pretty cute. Until I try to sleep, that is.
Sorry. Rainbow cake = no. Food coloring should not be consumed in those amounts.
Dinner: Beef stew (from the freezer) over egg noodles.
No photo. Although delicious, it resembled dog food. You have been spared.
Taking a risk
Is chocolate peanut butter Haagen-Dazs on the FDA list? Whatever. I’m halfway through the carton.
Head song, Monday morning: Edie Brickell, Circle of Friends
email to Rick (or how to cope without a TV)
subject: super bowl
I could give a rat’s ass about the game, but I am very into
football watching food. (subs, chili, nachos, french onion dip, etc.)
You wanna break that giant new TV in right?
xo, S
P.S. I just had to look up the date of the super bowl. Apparently it’s next Sunday.
