The text is small but I giggled despite needing squinty-eyes.
It's my birthday, and I didn't play attention whore like I was going to and start my own thread.
I'm so proud! Yay me!
I was made to ~smile~ because someone calling something "Casual" made me think of Him.

My garden overflowing with heirloom tomatoes....
enough for another batch of gravy! (or marinara for all of the non-Romans!)
For the first year since I've been here, my birthday has wandered by without someone else starting a birthday thread for me. Given how crap my actual birthday was, I'm happy about the lack of fanfare here.

~smiles~ between two tilda symbols has been totally ruined for me.
Goddamnit.
Are you going to invite Paulie Walnuts?
I was at snowcap getting some clothes for the kids. There was a hispanic family in line ahead of me, and it made me smile because, even though they were speaking Spanish, I TOTALLY understood what was going on.
See the lady had a toddler and an older child (I'd say about 10 years old) and the toddler wasn't feeling well (runny nose) and so was being a bit whiny. And he kept whining and pointing, and the mom said something, and the older child pulled out some gum. The mom said something else that ended in 'uno', and the older child handed the baby a piece of gum. The baby said something, still unhappy, and refused to take it. The mom said something else, the older child protested, the mom said something in a sharp tone and the older child sullenly handed over the package of gum. The baby then got his own piece of gum and gave his mom the package back.
(For those who are child-free what happened is the younger child wanted to get the gum by himself and his brother didn't want to let him.)
Either way, it cracked me up that even with the language barrier I still understood what was going on. Parenting is universal.
LOL. That would have been totally lost on me.
So, yesterday, Lappy's power cord, which has been giving me troubles, finally threw in the towel. With my battery running low and me rushing to beat a deadline, I asked L to look at it. He dissected it and discovered that the connection had been severed in two spots. Apparently I am a bit... *ahem*... rough with my toys. No worries, he assures me, bits of cord and wires everywhere, he'll MacGyver it - as I knew he would.
He runs down to the storage shed to get the electrical tape and on the way checks the mail. Then he comes back up all happy, "Royalty cheques!" he announces and passes me the telltale brown envelope to open while he twists and tapes my power cord back to life. I open the envelope and have a look at the cheques to see which show(s) they're from.
There were four.
All from "MacGyver".
