Welcome, fellow horbots. It's been a great week here on (not really)Trouble In Paradise and I'd like to start things off by congratulating you on your very first 5+ page thread.
Give yourself a round of applause for all your hard work and be sure to thank Fuss in particular for that brilliant, seemingly casual but decidedly deliberate sprinkling of those perfect little breadcrumbs.
At 3:30, there will be a lecture series in room 310 hosted by our resident vegetarians someone: How to Cook Vegetables.
Election day is just around the corner. Have you defriended anyone today?
Please remember to keep an eye out for bad fashion. I apologize in advance for the lack of participation from me. It's not as easy to catch a decent shot of George Clinton waiting for the bus while trying to drop your kids off at school as it should be.
For lunch today, it's MEATLOAF! There will be a kuus version and a nikki version served. There may or may not be a ketchup topping involved. IDK. In any case, the smoothie bar will open at 2pm with shots of something something available for a dollar.
I will also be giving out free boob flashes to whomever manages to destroy the most cinnamon brooms/pinecones.
Enjoy the start of the most wonderful/aggressively annoying time of the year.

Yay! *stomps on the cinnamon brooms*
I have not defriended anyone today, but I'm still face palming myself after the whole "I don't think it's a good idea if we talk to each other anymore" episode between my neighbors earlier this week.
Brad left in a huff this morning because I told him I would not turn down Colin Firth. What is wrong with that man? I thought ithat was a given.
See, you need to be like me and tell H a few times a day all of the men I'd leave him for in a heartbeat. I think he's immune to it now. Brad is just still too sensitive. You need to toughen him up a bit!
I woke up at 6:20 this morning. I'm usually up at 5:30 and I need to leave the house at 6:40.
I washed my hair in the sink and got dressed while H got DS ready. I got our stuff ready while H got dressed. Somehow, we got out the door at 6:45.
There will be a fight for the shower as soon as we get home. I will win. Oh yes. I will win.
In the meantime, I'm nursing a venti hot tea from Starbucks. I went to the mall at lunch and had to fight my way through two bus loads of teenagers (all marooned shirted kids from DC on their way to New York) to get to the Starbucks. Apparently the team uniform was black leggings (sweat pants for the boys), maroon t-shirts (not tunic length) and big fuzzy slippers or crocs. Lovely.
On my way back through (yep, had to cross through them again to get back out), I noticed that most of the kids left their trash and trays on the tables. The janitorial staff approached the adults in the group and told them to get the kids to clean up their mess. Did they do it? Nope. The chaperones ran around cleaning up the food court so the kids didn't have to. WTF.
I haven't defriended anyone yet, but I have a list of people to hide once I get to a computer.
We had a rough few days post delivery, including an extra day at the hospital and a return trip for me due to a second spinal headache. I haven't seen the pups since Friday so I'm happy they are coming home tonight. Also, my baby is the cutest thing in the history of the universe. Officially.
Can we also have a meatloaf that has a ketchup, BBQ sauce, and grape jelly combo?
I may not be defriending anyone about election nonsense on FB, but I may start blocking anyone who posts more than once about the fact it's snowing outside. Really? Thanks, I hadn't noticed when I looked out the damn window. My entire wall is plastered in weather updates.
You also might want to watch the Introduction to Ovens video that was posted on the class website.
Does this cover Easy Bake Ovens?
Dood, the new Easy Bake Oven suuuuucks. Have you seen it? They re-designed it to allow for the CFL bulbs. Problem is, you have to let it warm up for 20-30 minutes before you can use it.
What 8 year old is going to sit around for half an hour waiting for the oven to preheat? I'm 30 years old and I don't always wait for the oven to come up to temperature. If I want brownies, I want them NAO!.

That sucks. Damn energy efficiency. Let our children burn themselves without a care!

If you'd like to boycott the Meatloaf lunch, please join me in the vestibule of the cafeteria, where I will be making signs about TIP's anti-vegetarian bias.
