More Confessions
~ I have no idea how long it's been since we took our ironing board down. It is starting to look like a permanent fixture between the table and the hutch. The guys have taken to using it as a sideboard for dishes/pots that are hot. This is not a classy thing.
~ The Vampire and I had an argument the other day about when the latest is that we'd ever taken down the Christmas Tree. This is because we had noticed that I have a 'picture hat' sitting upside down on the buffet, decoratively filled with tree ornaments. Because, you know, taking them up to the attic would have been too cold last February. And then it was too hot to take them up in June. I am ignoring the existance of May.
~ We haven't gone to a movie in three weeks, and we went through a gap of more than a month before that. The Vampire has been having spells of dizziness the past few days - I think it's withdrawal symptoms, due to not having yet seen Talladega Nights (not that we would have gone to that in any case), Miami Vice, Descent, Step Up, World Trade Center (we normally would have seen at least two of these), and to our not being likely to see Accepted, Snakes On A Plane, or the Illusionist (the last being the only one his boring parents would have normally taken him to, if they weren't tied to their desks and his lesson/practice schedule).
~ I should be working right now. I'm procrastinating. I live on the Edge.
~ We didn't start watching Boston Legal until now. Now we are watching it on dvd, and we are hooked. The Pirate is starting to get turned on if I sneak up behind him and whisper "Denny Crane!" in his ear.
~ I got some putative cat treats a while back that are freeze-dried shrimp dusted with catnip. The Cat can't be bothered. But they are shrimp, so I can't just throw them away. I am trying to think of a clever Craft Item that I could make with them. Perhaps I should glue them artistically on a cleaned tuna can, glue some fabric inside and call it an Earring Box? Would anyone buy it at a rummage sale?
~ I am a sock knitter in a house full of men who either lose or destroy socks within days of receiving them. This is *definitely* a case of casting pearls before swine (sorry, Pirate... that's not a reflection on your personality, which is lovely). I gave a pair to my dearest friend... and she won't wear them because she doesn't want to damage them. Futility, thy name is Me.
~ But I keep making them, anyway. Because, you know, they are socks.
~ I made up a Pad Thai recipe. It's good, and we eat way too much of it when we can. Does that mean that it's actually Pad Eileen?

Or Eileen's Pad even?
I should be working, too...
OK, I actually did some cleaning this weekend. But two things I did not do: clean off the ironing board so I can actually iron clothes. I use it as a sort of catch all table. And put away my little table top Christmas tree. It's embarrassing, really, but now I'm thinking it's closer to Christmas than not, so maybe I'll keep it up for a full year.

Sis: What is an ironing board?

Sis: I believe you once said June.
You wanted to make room for something else in its place - that you never put up. :D

Sis: That's entirely unlike you guys.
~ I should be working right now. I'm procrastinating. I live on the Edge.
Sis: Work on the Edge.
~ We didn't start watching Boston Legal until now. Now we are watching it on dvd, and we are hooked. The Pirate is starting to get turned on if I sneak up behind him and whisper "Denny Crane!" in his ear.
Sis: I'd never have thunk it of him. He seemed pretty much a reglarguyguy to me.

Sis: Have you been on that e-mail crafty list lately where that lady made everything out of tuna cans? Bet she has made Cat Treat Collages too. Bet she Naturally Dyes Kibble with Dustbunnies.

Sis: That pair you gave me is the only matched pair in my house because I refuse to use them. The rest are mismatched singles. So what's your MIDDLE name? :D

Sis: Because you are Sis.

Sis: You cooked What? Ha. ;) What type do you make, the brown or the whiter type? I have had both, I like the white rice noodles with the red sauce and green scallions and yellow eggs in it. I made Moroccan chickpea soup today.
