the sleepover

-sleepover is a complete and utter oxymoron the boys got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night
-I did not get a whole hell of a lot more
-we need a bigger house preferably one that has a common area far away from our bedroom
-of course that lends itself to a whole host of other problems
-these kids can eat
-they are loud
-any pangs I may have about just having 1 child can easily be cured with a sleepover
-I have enjoyed the hell out of all the laughter & frivolity in the past 16 or so hours

is okra a food group?

somehow or another I made it 30 odd years or so before being introduced to the goodness that is fried okra..somehow?! oh wait yeah I am a northerner I don't think I had even heard of it growing up..but I love the stuff now and just recently I discovered that at the Walmart there is a deli area a deli area that sells hot food stuffs including yup you guessed it fried okra and yes yes indeed I did stop and get some after class this morning

not worth the hassle or the mess

I am sure but I do love the smell coming from the neighbor's fireplace
