Stolen Lines # 3

Posted on March 18, 2009
There's something that I've been thinking about and wondering about and I'm very curious: am I the only one who knows?* A "kosher" dill pickle is not kosher in the sense that it has been prepared under rabbinical supervision, which would ensure that no non-kosher ingredients were used, and that no utensil in contact with the pickles had ever been in contact with food that was not kosher...

There Isn't Much To Say

Posted on March 17, 2009
Other than the fact that I really, really need to find a job. I'm not going to bore you with details or whining or my current state of freaking out, but seriously. I need a job. I'm willing to do the rain-dance. Or the job-dance. Or the what-have you dance...

This Post Was Way Cooler In My Head

Posted on March 16, 2009
The part of blogging that I didn't realize was part of blogging until I started blogging was that you look at things in your life as blog fodder. I find myself constantly rating situations, parties, conversations in many ways. BISMOW being excited not about the great deal on our honeymoon but instead the king sized bed? Ehhh, mildly funny...

Pizza Pizza!

Posted on March 15, 2009
I love home-made pizza. We made it a lot growing up, and my Mother would split the pizza into quarters to "decorate" as we pleased. Her quarter was piled high with sauteed veggies and the dreaded olive (one of which always hid under the cheese and sneaked over to my quarter) my Dad was a pepperoni and ham guy, Bubba was solely pepperoni and I always did extra cheese with one pepperoni in the middle...

Who has the best blog readers ever? I do, I do! Thank you so much for stopping by http://marys-brain-cancer.blogspot.com/ and leaving all those kind comments. Y'all even made Mary cry (good tears not bad ones) with your sweet thoughts & even sweeter favorite ice cream flavors...

The Power of The Internet People

Posted on March 12, 2009
So I know I'm pretty lucky over here with my super-supportive fabulous readers. You all supported me during The Studying Of The Bar Exam and then cheered when I passed said bar exam. You were excited when I got my job and indignant when I was laid off...

A Play, In One Act

Posted on March 11, 2009
It is a unseasonably warm March night in Chicago, albeit a rainy one. The scene unfolds in a small vintage apartment with cheery hardwood floors & a young couple. The gentlemen watches ESPN. The lady is seen in the kitchen. (Surrounded by a blender, a food processor, cookie sheets, an Oktoberfest mug from Munich and various other small appliances, she searches, frantically...

Titi Daisy & Other Tidbits

Posted on March 10, 2009
Last night after about 4 hours of delay I finally made it home. And then waited 30 minutes for the bags to even be assigned to a carousel much less start coming out. It was a late night indeed. But! I am home and discovered that BISMOW cleared out my fridge and pantry so today I will buy groceries and roast a chicken as an "I'm sorry" for just spiriting away so quickly...

Ranting. Perhaps Some Raving.

Posted on March 09, 2009
Rant # 1: I have been sitting in the Salt Lake City airport terminal for three hours. I have at least another hour to go. And then a three hour flight to Chicago, where BISMOW (who I miss very much and it is only because of this that I'm leaving my adorable nephew) is picking me up...

Technology Blues

Posted on March 07, 2009
My parents have been living in the house they built for almost a year now. It is a lovely house. It has lovely views. It is filled with extras & features that I dream about. The steam shower in the master suite? Divine. The super-fancy-schmancy washer & dryer that hum a little tune when your clothes are done? Fantastic...

BISMOW's Secret Family Recipe

Posted on February 26, 2009
Not so secret anymore is it? During his life, BISMOW's grandfather was a head chef at a well known upscale hotel in downtown Detroit. BISMOW & I still cook with his knives, a hodge-podge assortment that he picked out over the years.  Supplemented with a few Wusthof purchases, BISMOW and I love our knife collection, even if they don't all match...

Following The Leader

Posted on February 25, 2009
I'd like to start by publicly saying that if you are going to follow my blog, you should definitely follow Katie (Overflowing Brain) as well, because, well, think of it as two for the price of one. That and she did house & feed & wine & dine me for five days, and if I beat her out in followers, my planned thank you of spice drops probably won't be enough...

Stick A Fork In Me

Posted on February 24, 2009
I'm so tired I can barely form sentences or thoughtsfppllll...................................... see what I mean? I'm leaving for the airport soon where I will, fingers crossed, catch a non-stop flight back to Chicago and then take the El and a cab and finally stumble in the door where, fingers crossed, BISMOW will have made me my most favorite lemon chicken dinner that he makes so well...

Lundi Gras Catch Up

Posted on February 23, 2009
I'm still in New Orleans (um, it was 60 degrees here yesterday...I heard it was 11 in Chicago....need I say more?) and having a wonderful time.  Katie and her husband Slappy have been lovely hosts, even if Slappy has nicknamed me S.K. (Serial Killer) and I awoke to find a stuffed-animal Mardi Gras throw hanging from Mardi Gras beads from the chandelier outside my bedroom...

I'm Still Alive, Much To Slappy's Chagrin

Posted on February 21, 2009
I'm still alive. I've ingested a shrimp po'boy, red beans & rice, Kyoto sushi, Popeye's mashed potatoes & biscuits, Cooter Brown's oysters, and pancakes at Slim Goodies. Needless to say I'm having a lovely trip. Slappy is trying to figure out when I'm going to become the serial killer he's labeled me ( my new nickname: S...

Made Or!

Posted on February 19, 2009
Whew. I'm here. I'm still not sure how- I woke up at 4:oo in the morning (also known as O'Dark Thirty or Butt Crack of Dawn) and slid my way to the closest cab, as Mother Nature graced all of Chicago-land with a weather phenomena that can only be described as "wintry mix" that then froze to every surface, creating an uneven ice rink...

Stolen Lines # 2

Posted on February 18, 2009
"Ghosts definitely live here," I say. My roommates look around in disbelief. "Ghosts.....or fraternity boys," mutters one of them. I can't help but think that the so-called "charm" we saw in this dilapidated old apartment was something we had invented...

This is the view from my parents

Posted on February 17, 2009
This is the view from my parents house, looking at it every day is akin to being on crack:It just makes you a little wobbly & light-headed. I suppose I could blame that on the altitude, but I prefer to blame it on the view. I like to look at it while sipping a glass of wine and listening to Papa Duke & BISMOW debate the PAC 10 and the Big 10 just one more time...

And The ___ Goes To.....

Posted on February 16, 2009
Monday morning at O'Dark Thirty BISMOW & I are heading back to Chicago. Until then here are the much promised & anticipated (well at least for me?) awards going out to 7 blogs who are new(ish) to these parts. Many thanks to always adorable & informative Preppy Princess for sending the honor my way in the first place! (Please remember I fudged the rules, but of course to all the recipients, please pass it on as you deem fit...

All In A Days Unemployment

Posted on February 11, 2009
The phone rings. Daisy: Hello? This is Daisy. Career Services: This is career services from you law school. We are calling to take the employment survey for the class of 2008. Do you have a moment? Daisy: Well how long will it take? I'm packing and running out the door to catch a flight...

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

Posted on February 09, 2009
I have a few topics to discuss tonight so here we go. First. Let's talk about grammar. I don't want to harp on this or seem irked but rather I just want to say, I love my readers- but if my grammar, my topics, or anything else bother you, please, spend your time reading elsewhere...

Analyze This

Posted on February 08, 2009
Like most bloggers out there, I use a stats tracker to see who comes around this page of the internet. Don't worry, I really can't find out who people are, rather, where they live (city & state) and how they came here. For instance I can tell when people come through a search engine (most come from Google) and what they searched that brought them to this crazy corner of the internet...

January Round Up

Posted on February 06, 2009
Last weekend there was a sailing conference in town & BISMOW and myself had the pleasure of hanging out with The Errant Yachtsman (see blog linked on the right) and I completely forgot to tell y'all about it, what with the frantic scrubbing that ensues prior to a visit from Mama Duke...

Aaaand Take!

Posted on February 04, 2009
Mama Duke is safely back in Utah (skiing I'm sure, the lucky duck) and I'm sort of sitting around blinking going "Whaa?" because it was a lovely trip but it was a whirlwind trip, all the while the winds were swirling around Chicago (Why yes, it was a high of eleven degrees today) and we were finding ourselves walking! everywhere! in the wind! and now I'm just tired and content and want to snuggle up into my couch and not move for awhile...

Scrubbing & Sweeping

Posted on February 02, 2009
I apologize for the silence, but my Mom, she is coming to visit. Which means I'm busy scrubbing & cleaning & doing laundry and trying to look nice and show her that I'm looking for a job. (Then I can hit her up for money. Or at least a shopping trip or two...

Talking About Things Ladies Don't Talk About

Posted on January 29, 2009
My parents are two fabulous, albeit very conservative people. I was the kid who couldn't go to a party in high school unless the host's parents were home (and I had to prove it by having said parents call my parents upon my arrival....such a nerd) and my parents are generally of a conservative approach to most things in life...
