4 eggs left

[susandennis]

Yep. No eggs eaten yesterday so, considering tomorrow's trip to Trader Joe's, I'm almost flush with eggs now! Imagine that.

I drove to the pastry pick up place and was there when it opened. Today's haul. Two cookies, two pizza scones and a brownie pecan croissant.



I had the croissant for breakfast when I got home and while it was good, it was not my favorite. Too much chocolate and not enough croissant. Oh well. Next week will be better.

Last night was the first local tv broadcast of the Mariners. It featured my favorite broadcaster and my least favorite. And, during Spring Training games, most innings show the game and then interview some peripheral person so you don't really get any game info. It's boring and annoying. Las night, I finally turned it off.

BUT not before I heard this interesting info... Part of the restrictions of fans in seats is that those fans will not be allowed to bring in a bag of any kind. You can bring in diapers. One, I think, and anything that fits into a 4"x6" clutch. Oh and medical necessities. Wild. Pockets, man. Every single thing will be cashless. It also sounds like maybe they will not sell single tickets. They described 'pods' as being for from 2 to 6 people. So, possibly, if you want to go alone, you have to buy two tickets. I guess I'll learn more next Saturday when they open up the ticket sales.

spacefem posted about the Add Me community this morning. Apparently this community has been around forever behind my back! How the hell did I not know about this??






I added some new friends most of whom have locked journals so I can only hope they add me back. If any popped here to see about me, HI!! And welcome!

The last time I hit the end of a roll of toilet paper (bog roll and why bog? - yet another UK mystery), Biggie picked up a new habit. Toilet paper roll shredding. As the roll wound down, the lost interest and I thought/hoped it was a passing fancy. Wrong. New roll last night. This morning:



Nice.

Today I have several projects planned. I have about 20 minutes left on my current novel and, when I got off the treadmill this morning, I left all the characters in a fair amount of peril. I need to finish it off and make sure the good guys win. I have a couple of other promising books in the queue.

I have my crochet along blanket to do and I want to get this week's bit finished so I can get back to the sweater I started last Thursday. I don't know if it will work out in yarn like I have it in my head but I'm anxious to see.

The Mariner game is on TV again at noon so I'll watch it until it gets annoying and I have a couple of small mending projects to do in the sewing room. I should go for a walk. I might.

Here's the toilet paper artist taking an break from destruction.

What is this "too much chocolate" of which you speak? I don't think that's a thing . . . at least not for me. ;)

[susandennis]

I totally understand. But, for me, a little chocolate goes a long way. I like it but I don't love it. No doubt my brother will chime in with a ditto to your comment!

[mollywheezy.livejournal.com]

My husband would completely agree with you. He prefers fruity things. I managed to find him sugar-free gummy bears after his surgery. :)

Pizza scones? This sounds like heaven. Please post your thoughts when you've eaten them.

We put our spare TP rolls on a "spike" in the bathroom. When Bounce was younger he had a real problem. He couldn't help himself. He'd chew up the rolls and then feel shame, trying to hide the fact that it was him. But he'd have TP shreds sticking out of his mouth. Now his addiction has shrunk to kleenex in the waste baskets. I'll walk into my office and see kleenex all over the floor, and Bounce will be just outside the door, watching me discover his crime. I'd get all dramatic, wailing loudly "Who could have done this terrible thing?" I know, I'm awful.

My pizza scone thoughts are... sooooooooo delicious. This woman makes a fabulous scone and this one was so good.

I feel very fortunate that our cats have not (yet) discovered toilet paper.

[carriea31.livejournal.com]

The pizza pastries look like they have serious potential.

[susandennis]

I just ate one and OMG am I ever glad I got two!

[zoefruitcake.livejournal.com]

Maybe you need to crochet one of those loo roll covers that looks like a crinoline lady!

I prefer first time baked croissants better than twice baked croissants.

Bog roll: bog was originally slang for an open cesspit. A bog is a toilet, and "I'm in the bog" means you're in the room with the toilet in it (which in the UK has mostly meant a room with *only* a toilet in it, plus maybe a small handbasin if fancy, but traditionally not).

[msconduct.livejournal.com]

PS "On the bog" is also correct. Using your bogroll, if course.

[stainsteelrat.livejournal.com]

I was going to look it up but glad I checked the comments first. Not sure how I didn't make the bog connection! :-)

[susandennis]

ah ha

Did you hear about the digital art that sold for $66,000,000? Biggie's latest "work" is worth at least that much ! So avant garde, simply stunning :)

[susandennis]

And, I just went ahead and wiped my butt with it! oh well.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

I hadn't heard about that comm, either. Weird.

[richaarde.livejournal.com]

I wonder if there is some kind of cat-resistant toilet paper cover on the market. Somebody has to have invented something by this point.

Most of the shows in Las Vegas opened up but you have to buy 2 tickets minimum. That may change soon, with the Governor allowing 50% occupancy. Keeping my fingers crossed. There are shows I would like to see but not for double the price.

[susandennis]

Singlism! The worst.

How do?
