And....billytea brings it on home!
Clean! I have Cleaned Most Of The Things! I just need to go and wipe down the counter, then I will be making my ham marinade, and Mr. Pig Leg will be taking a long, cold sweet bath tonight.
I just have to sweep and mop tomorrow, and pick up my office a bit (not that people will be hanging in my office, but first post-marriage MiL visit) and I am golden.
The in-law's will be here tomorrow afternoon sometime, and they will be bringing a new (to me) dining room set. YAY!
OMG, I forgot wine! THANK YOU, Vortex.
Whipped cream? Otherewise I think you're good.
Man, this has been a crazy ass week (and will continue to be). Went out with my friend C tonight. Last night, her dog was going all nutso because there was some commotion outside. So despite the monsoon she took him out.
Quote from the upstairs neighbor: "when we took the dog out, no dead guy. When we got back: dead guy."
Yeah. Body half under a car. Maybe hit his head and drowned? Maybe got hit by someone and knocked under the car? Either way: dead guy.
Ooh, I do have wine (not bought specially for TDay, but just around) but need to put it in the fridge. And whipped cream I also have--it goes in the pie (along with sour cream, and a layer of apricot jam under the filling, with a gingersnap pecan crust).
I need to pack. I'm taking a train to Michigan tomorrow afternoon, and I know Union Station will be ridonk.
I'm resigned to the fact that my family won't agree to a vegetable dish other than mashed potatoes and corn, so I've placed a huge fruit & veg grocery order for when I return.
I have parsley! It's actually the biggest bunch.
Then you've got yourself a Simon & Garfunkel tune there.
And I've got an earworm.
Nora,
Friday night we went to a concert by Consortium of Genius, which was part of the fringe festival. Saturday we took the streetcar to the Garden District and wandered around there a bit.
Oh Brenda -- that's a little too much family drama. And what exactly did the boyfriend do (or is alleged to have done) to end up IN JAIL? I must have missed a memo or two.

pssst - neither of those are vegetables
