Yesterday, since I didn’t have lunch-hour floor duty and since I was starving and never bring one to work, I decided to come home for lunch. I think I frightened Rob, bursting into the house like I did, but he was good about it.
My lunch was delicious, too. I made a grilled cheese sandwich with real cheese (not processed slices). Glass of milk. Yum.
I left my pan and the spatula on the stove, because I thought Rob would probably want to cook himself something (I’m not that nice of a wife that I would cook for him, too – actually that’s not true, it’s that he was not ready to eat and ew, cold grilled cheese!). Turned the stove off. Came into the livingroom to eat because we don’t have a dining room/kitchen table. Couple of minutes later I smelled smoke.
And, in the kitchen, where I *thought* I had turned off the stove, I had actually not quite nudged it far enough, so it was on maximum. The spatula had melted, so the handle was sitting on the stovetop and the flat paddle part was in the pan, on fire. Flames everywhere. What’s a girl to do? I blew on the fire, which, amazingly, put it out (but a red-hot plastic ember landed on my thumb, blistering me somethin’ awful), then plunged it into a sinkful of cold water. That frying pan is ruined, not to mention the spatula.
And after all this, Rob actually trusted me to cook supper last night. (more…)

Plans go awry, Louise gets drunk. In the morning, she blogs about it.
April 20, 2008 by Louise
One glass of rum and coke, one sip of beer… and apparently I’m anyone’s.
Exactly how did my Saturday get so out of hand?
Here was the original plan:Rob and I would have our day out. I would drop Rob off at our friends’ place where they would have a little night of Guitar Hero/SingStar/Rock Band. I would come home and do my school work. All good right?
Here’s what happened:Rob and I had our day out. When we were on our way to our friends’ place, he got a call from said friends. Friend W was barfing up his guts and… yeah. So instead of going to their place, the people came over to our place. And since my work area is our living room, and since I’m a total procrastinator… debauchery ensued.
It was a fun night, except one of our guests felt the need to discuss with us his course of psoriasis treatment. Not that I have any problem with people pursuing treatment for their skin conditions, but did he have to discuss it at length for 15 minutes?
Another thing – we ordered pizza and it came with the dough half-uncooked. Did we eat it anyway? Why yes, yes we did.
So today I am doing my schoolwork, surprisingly NOT nursing a hangover, and watching Scott Baio is 45 and Single. Chachi was a playa, yo.

This is a drunken blog post and will NOT be deleted in the morning!

I am PWI! HAHAHAHA
Oh, you’re all like “Oh God how obnoxious”. Whatever. Whatever!
Yeah I’m a lightweight (figuratively speaking). One glass plus a couple sips of beer from our friend and I’m like “Woooooo hoooooooo!”Bad.
Also I need to somehow find a way to fit “Branson property” into this post.
heh I just did.
Yeah, we have some friends over. They are here playing Guitar Hero. I don’t play that game. I wanna play the game where you sing. because I usually hit all the notes on that one. ROcket Man FTW!

So. I’m 32 (in 2 months). 32 years old, and I am starting to have wrinkles. Fine. I mean, you know, aged.
32. Wrinkles. And yet still in need of acne treatment.I didn’t have zits when I was a teenager. Well, I would have one, maybe two, every two or three months – when I got them, they sucked, but I didn’t get them very often. I remember one Class Picture Day with a giant cystic one right there on the size of my nose (that’s when I perfected the head tilt, “catch my good side” pose). But now? It’s every. single. day. little zits or blackheads and they won’t go away and I can’t use Clearasil or any of those things because on top of pimples and wrinkles, I get dry, flakey skin.
WHAT THE HELL MOTHER NATURE WHAT THE HELL?
These are the days when I wish Burkhas were stylish everyday wear.

Oh my aching butt.
by Louise
After our long trip today, we got home, then I had to go out again and do groceries. We didn’t need much but there’s no Sunday shopping here so it had to be done today or we’d have been cheeseless until at least Monday.
And I noticed that at the mall, they have massage chair that you can pay a dollar and have two minutes of butt rubs.
Also picked up a duvet cover for the new duvet. Got home, got it washed, put it on the doona.King sized duvet = super heavy. Rob was helping me to put the whole thing together, and he fell over backward. He is now squashed.
I love heavy blankets. Not because they crush my husband… just because I love them.

shawarm
by Louise
We went to Charlottetown today. Not that our town isn’t great, it’s just … lacking in certain ameneties. Such as oh, say, good restaurants. So we made the drive, saw plenty of cheap land for sale along the way (I fantasized about buying some land, building our own place completely powered by wind and sun energy, off the grid, totally David Suzuki stylee), got there and the first thing we did was head to this place where we stuffed our faces so full of food that then our faces were so full of eating! I had the combo plate, Rob had chicken shawarma… gaaah now I wish we were back there now. So I could eat more combo plate! Yes please!
Erm… yeah then we ran around looking for a duvet cover for the new duvet I bought yesterday (it was less than half price!) and didn’t find one. And now I am headed out to do the grocery shopping because I love groceries.

One thing about our house is that it was built in the 1940s. So some things about it are… well, 1940s-ish. Such as:

benefits
by Louise
A cool thing about having my brother and his family nearby is that my brother is a guy who has a bunch of air tools. And lately, for one reason or another, we have been needing to borrow said tools. It would’ve been difficult had he still been living an hour and a half away. Now that it’s three minutes, we’re golden.
(also there’s the fact that we like them and it’s fun to live near your family and my nephews are hilarious and such) (although yesterday I was sitting on the couch reading the best book with my nephews when their (puppy) dog jumped up and bit me on my BOOB)

The Procrastinatinest!
by Louise
My report card marks/comments are due on Monday. I have about an hour’s worth of correcting to do, and then I have about 4, 5 hours’ worth of grade entry/comments to finish. What am I doing instead? Let’s see, I’ve been up for about an hour and so far I…
– have been trying to de-tarnish my silver using tinfoil (does anyone know how to do that? Because it’s not working)
– have been blogging
– have watched George W Bush tell Pope Benedict that his speech was “Awesome”In other news, I start teaching Health on Monday… great. There’s a sex ed. component (which I am *not* starting right away and I’m glad of that because holy crap! I have to bone up (haha I said “bone”) on all the things! progesterone! estrogen! testosterone! periods! fallopian tubes! cowper’s glands! It’s all too much for me!
Yep, so expect a bunch of blog posts from me today.
