Free Random Parmesan Cheese for Everyone!
March 20, 2006
I really believe my streak of bad luck is coming to an end. I brought in some delicious homemade minestrone for lunch, but was saddened when I realized I forgot to grate some parmesan cheese over it this morning. Yet what should I find neatly stacked up in our office kitchen today? Why, three or four little containers of grated parmesan cheese!
I am not going to think about why in the name of Samuel H. Heck there was random parmesan cheese in the kitchen, nor am I going to think about what type of person helps herself to said random parmesan cheese and then immediately runs off to tell the Internet about it, because like, score, dude.
*pumps fist in air, hums Rocky song, because FREE RANDOM CHEESE, WHEE!*
BUT ANYWAY:
Yesterday, I drove up to Baltimore to brunch and shop (I love using "brunch" as a verb, incidentally, although I generally feel like punching other people who do the same) with the delightful Sweetney.
Oh no, honey, I think they sat us next to some goddamn BLOGGERS again.
I would like to state for the record that Google Maps is every bit as vindictive as Mapquest, as they got me ridiculously lost and looking for streets that I AM NOT SURE ACTUALLY EXIST, and poor Sweetney's first non-email conversation with me involved me calling her to admit (in a very upbeat tone of voice!) that I was completely lost in a very sketchy neighborhood and desperately trying not to convey that I was about 99% sure I was going to die.
Because you know, I wanted her to think that I am cool.
Sweetney's a total MILF, in case you were wondering.
I took pictures of our beverages, which were pleasingly color-coordinated with the placements.
We talked about the exact same things every blogger talks about when they meet for the first time: Crazy People on the Internet We Have Dirt On and Real Estate: Really, Who the Fucking Fuck Can Afford This Fucking Shit.
(Seriously, I think I talked about real estate for like, two solid hours. Sweetney pretended to be interested for awhile and then, in apparent desperation, took me to various stores where I could buy things with our mortgage money, like gourmet dog biscuits.)
I peed on rug while you were gone. Sorry. Gimme biscuit now.
MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE REALM OF BORING:
Noah woke up this morning with the tiniest little nub of a tooth.
I think he's just as disturbed by this development as I am.
I'm an idiot. Seems Mama C-ta beat me to it.
Oh well, 2 posts on it, must be a good thing.
A tooth so soon. Be afraid, very afraid. Soon it will be "Mom, look how far I can pee". They do grow up too fast.
Congrats on the tooth - I think. My baby has been complaining about the hair on her legs and she is only 8 - I am doooomed.
Yay cheese! Your boy is just growing way too fast...he's starting to resemble a (gasp!) toddler!
Yay for a tooth, unless, of course, Noah has been displeased and in pain about it. Then Bad Tooth, Bad Tooth.
My son and your son are six days apart, so it is exciting to read about such transitions. I think a tooth is in our future, too.
Cheers!
Ali G: 98.5% sketch may be stretching it JUST A TITCH, though as I said to Amy as we were driving around: no matter where you are in Baltimore, you're only about 3-4 from Da Hood. Which is SO TOTALLY true.
Well, regardless, I [heart] the Baltimore, really i do.
That was supposed to be "3-4 BLOCKS from Da Hood."
Sorry. No coffee yet. gurgle.
No kidding, I once heard someone say "and where do you plantation?" That's the South for you, I guess. Regardless, you can use "brunch" as a verb as long as you promise NEVER to ask me where I plantation.
A tooth? I think that means he'll be dating next. Holy cow (bell)!
So, what kind of dirt do you have on the crazy Internet people? Because...we all need to know it.
(and how fun to actually get together with a fellow blogger. So jealous!)
Love the "Need More Cow Bell" shirt. I got it for my husband a few months ago. That was the funniest skit ever on SNL! More evidence that you have great taste.
Mary
Hilarious. I especially like the dog bit. Well played!
hah. you had me at the subject line.
Free cheese, my foot! So that's where I left it. Give it back, please.
Great blog, and I love the pictures of your little guy.
Oh my goodness a tooth. Can't wait to see pictures of it.
We also had out first tiny nub of a tooth yesterday. They're growing too fast!
So if you are visiting other bloggers and come up to PA.... :)
Oh gosh, so the sleepless nights begin with teething. I will tell you in advance that Hyland's Teething Tablets saved me from insanity. They cost all of $3 at your local health food store. I think even Target sells them. They are milk based and will melt in Noah's mouth. They help ease the pain and stop the crying. I should buy stock in the company.
