You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My weekend plans are minimal, which is awesome. I have to clean and laundry and etc., after being gone last weekend. I have family dinner Sunday, and will probably end up doing something with a friend at some point, but maybe not.

I'll be heading out of town to visit an old friend this weekend. Which means tonight will involve laundry and minor packing.

Coding and Sleeping

My weekend plans are installing a car radio, fixing a treadmill (again), baking some cookies with the kids, and hopefully doing some writing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

B&E over tomorrow night after Em and I go to Zoobilee. Saturday class and delivery of Girl Scout cookies. Hopefully a big fat nothing Saturday night and Sunday.

Emeline and I will probably make her Fancy Nancy fleece blanket and maybe her and I will work on her room a bit.

I will be hopefully getting over whatever the hell this chest cold/bronchitis/mystery ailment is.

Aimee, I thought your weekend was going to include breaking and entering. It's not, right?

Oh! I can get Girl Scout cookies tomorrow!!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Fever-Tree tonic water

I just went and googled that up, and, hmmmm...intriguing. We're making faint efforts chez Zmayhem to eat and drink a little better, and it's been bugging me that most of the drink mixers have HFCS in them.

Not finding much for grenadine, though. Just one bartender's blog recommending Torani pomegranate syrup as a good HFCS-free decent-tasting substitute.

eta: And another blog commenter recommends just making your own. It sounds ridiculously simple: 1 part POM pomegranate juice, 1 part (or less, per your taste) superfine sugar, mix until sugar is melted (I guess you could use simple syrup instead), keeps basically forever in the fridge.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Isn't the alcohol kind of a given in Scotland, or is that just my extended family?

The Scots-Irish side of my family is mostly teetotalers except for me (well, in theory if not in practice) and the one family drunk. But I'd imagine winter in Scotland involves a pretty high blood-alcohol level on average.

I don't think I've ever been put off liquor by getting sick the way I have off fudge, fried fish, and most recently chili. But I think I've only ever been sick or hung over from drinking one time, despite imbibing heavily on occasion.

Thank you for your mighty tolerance genes, distant Irish ancestor!
