So I just spent the better part of 3 hours with two 15 year old girls. It was fun! They got here early (used to be unheard of with Taylor, that's apparently changed,) just before I got back from the pool, but T's friend's parents had kindly driven them (they live not far) and so just drove over to the Y, so I probably passed them on the way back. Anyway, they came back and I ordered Thai takeout from the Thai Restaurant and we went to go pick it up. They hadn't had thai before, that they knew up, so I got chicken satay, fresh spring rolls, tom ka gai, pad thai and drunken noodles. Taylor was a little meh on the pad thai (doesn't like peanuts much) but LOVED the drunken noodles, satay and both girls suprised me by totally adoring the tom ka gai. That they both hoovered down the spring rolls didn't surprise me, they are addictive.

Bonus, the customer getting takeout ahead of us was a local weatherman both girls have a crush on. Hee.

T and L are like peas in a pod, they finish each other's sentences. L seems like a really smart, level headed sort (she's doing the robotics summer program) so I'm thrilled T's found a friend like her. And she thought it was cool that I was friends with Taylor. I don't know that when I was a 15 year old girl, I would have thought it fun to go hang out with my friend's adult ex-neighbor, you know? And she (and her parents) clearly thought it a sound idea and she had a good time.

I think I may have a contact high from teenage energy...

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kathy, how awful!

After a month's hiatus on Twitter, Owen just got on there to tell Jilli he likes The Nightmare Before Christmas, ask Darth Vader what led him to the Dark Side and ask Taylor Swift out on a date.

hip deep in pie

Owen is killing me ded. I almost choked laughing when I read his taylor swift tweet.

He's starting young with the ladies, Cash.

Oh man, Kathy, just saw. I'm sorry.

Because books.

ask Taylor Swift out on a date

I think his exact words were, "Do you want to eat on twitter and take a date night?" ♥ ♥ ♥

I love to see how he reads other people's tweets and responds in a correct manner. It always tickles me. Liv and I were out walking Cody while he was squeezing in some last minute computer time before bed.

I think I'm going to let his teacher discover for herself he knows his way around the internet.

I'm so sorry, Kathy.

(Yes I skipped basically the whole evening's posts.)

msbelle, very nice hutch and glass. My mom has some of her mother's pressed depression glass, mostly the desert plates and little dishes. I don't know who got the main dinner set. It was dark green and ...bubbles? That's how I thought of it anyway. Quarter sized down to a single teeny dot at the center of the plate. Probably started me on my love of dark colored glass plates.

ION: my Clean All the Things apron arrived today (that was fast (I probably should stop buying aprons)), so I plan to get right on the Thing Cleaning tomorrow. Because not having the apron was what was holding me back, I'm sure.
