I totally just ruined my brother's reputation with a parts/eqpt dealer he uses: I bought him a OBD diagnostic cable and emailed the guy, asking he include the note " so now you can know exactly why your car is farting and belching and stinks, besides the fact you are in it. Happy birthday!" I got a hilarious email back, agreeing to it.

I love being a big sister.

Nice.

BTW, that Xmas list shows Charlie Brown Christmas as airing yesterday, but I have it set to record next week -- not sure if that's a local issue or what. Edit: Nevermind, I just remembered there was a debate on that channel last night, so it totally is a local issue.

While it sucks that I am only just now eating dinner, oh, my god, you guys, my dinner is so pretty and delicious that I almost want to take a picture.

do it! I take pictures of my food all of the time :)

Dinner is now in mah belly. Although I do have a giant bowl of leftovers that I will be stuffing in my face for the next few days.

Today I am a culinary genius! It makes up for yesterday when everything I attempted to cook turned out very wrong.

I think we need details, if we can't get pictures.

Dinner: chicken, bacon, penne pasta, garlic, olive oil, fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, grape tomatoes, red & green onion, red & yellow bell pepper, baby spinach, green beans, broccoli spears, red pepper flake, cayenne, black pepper, sea salt, chicken broth, and a dash of white wine.

That sounds delicious!

We had gyoza for dinner. Noah ate his own gyoza but wanted me to get the green stuff out -- god forbid he thinks I'm sneaking in a vegetable -- and he even used chopsticks (at least the kiddie kind) to eat it!

Ever see a movie called "Mr. Frost"?

and he even used chopsticks (at least the kiddie kind) to eat it!

Aw. I love watching kids learn chopsticks.

I had a baconator due to a late meeting. It was a mistake. A giant, tasty mistake.
