Oh I forgot my random. My dogs really are assholes. Lucy woke DS up last night barking at the neighbors around 10 pm. Get DS settled, take dogs out and Malcolm won't go. Just as I'm going to sleep, Malcolm starts barking to go out at midnight. DS wakes up at 4:45 for a bottle. Yay for 5 hours of sleep for the second night in a row.
This morning Lucy pooped all over my kitchen floor while I was changing DS. I raged out. Felt bad all day, came home and gave her snuggles. Decided to put DS in the stroller and walk Malcolm so he won't be so fussy. Take Lucy out to the yard beforehand, she can't go on walks because she has a .bad knee. Malcolm thinks I left him, gets mad and pees on the kitchen floor. Lucy tried to bark at the neighbors again so I put her in her kennel with her bone and gave up on them for the day.
These dogs are assholes and DH needs to get home from his business trip STAT. Now I'm going to pass out.

We got a new computer system at my studio and today when I went to reschedule an appointment, there was no way to do that anymore, so I cancelled and rebooked but I rebooked on the wrong day and then I had to cancel it and rebook AGAIN. And now it's set so every single thing that gets booked/cancelled automatically sends an email. So my client AND the owner of my studio got 4 emails and everyone was completely confused.
It's not a big deal but for some reason not understanding tech-y stuff bugs me more than it should.
I'm trying to decide whether I should try the key lime bar recipe tonight. I'm doing a trial run before I bring it to book club next week, and I bought key lime juice and a regular lime for the zest, but my husband accidentally threw away the lime. I'm leaning towards doing the trial run tonight without the zest.
Oooh...I love key lime bars! I use an America's Test Kitchen recipe and they always come out fabulous! I bet they'd still be good without the zest, maybe a little less zippy but they certainly would still be tasty.
Thank you for confirming that this wasn't a completely crazy idea I didn't cook or bake pretty much anything until a year ago, so I'm still shaky on what you can and cannot substitute without completely ruining a recipe. The zest seemed like it would alter the recipe, but not ruin it, but I wasn't sure.
I'll put the America's Test Kitchen recipe on my list of recipes to try. I used the recipe from "The Good Cookie," by Tish Boyle. It has a gingersnap crust and a white chocolate topping. I was lazy and bought ginger snaps instead of making gingersnap cookies just to crumble them up for the crumbs. I won't know how the bars turned out until tomorrow. They have to be refrigerated at least two hours before putting on the topping, and that will push me past midnight, and I have fasting blood work in the morning.
You can't pick the colors/patterns, which I thought was weird, but I liked the ones I got.
Are they a legit site? I have been seeing them with awesome deals on FB and I was hesitant to order from them because they seemed too good to be true.
I know, I was worried about this too, but I threw caution to the wind because I live on the EDGE, lol. They took a bit to ship, but I got mine today and they fit very well.
A coworker tried to make me feel guilty for coming back to work. I don't feel guilty, but the conversation is still bothering me.
I've got daycare set up this summer so that I have every Monday alone with DS1, which is awesome because I miss hanging out with him so much. I wanted to sign him up for an activity, but the Parks and Rec website keeps freezing on me. I have no other ideas!
What did your 3 year old like to do during the summers?
I want to make those key lime bars. I think I will this weekend.
I bought these t-shirts from the Limited when they were having their 50% off sale and I LOVE THEM. They are just fitted enough, a thicker material, with a nice round neck. I'm going to wait until another big sale and buy about 5 more. www.thelimited.com/Luxe-Fit-Tee/5052094,default,pd.html?dwvar_5052094_colorCode=150&start=112&ppid=c112&cgid=tees-tanks-and-shorts
I've had roasted broccoli the past 2 nights for dinner for myself, and last night H was all, "That's not enough protein!" It is when you put about 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on it. And then follow it up with ice cream.
I went to Costco tonight and it was blissfully empty. Weekends are for suckers.
