tuesday in a list

pound cake makes a very delicious, if not very nutritious breakfast....

so far every time i've gone to disneyland i've got to park in my lucky spot. today was no exception. the one time i didn't get to park there, i asked a sweet friend to move the traffic cones for me... the space is that lucky :)

since we see her every single week, i have made it my mission to befriend evil Erin, the Disneyland Railroad conductor and find out her life story (and also so Danny can eat lollipops on the train with fearing her wrath). she has twin boys Danny's age and is relatively human underneath the tough exterior. she says Bono takes his kids 'all the time' which doesn't sound right to me because he lives in Ireland and Anaheim is about 3000 miles away. and she says Teri Hatcher is a psycho piece of work and Angelina is a coldblooded detached mother, which i know to be true from my reliable NYC source ;)

went to the store for tomatoes and forgot to buy them. now i have to go back for $50 more stuff i don't need and hopefully remember the tomatoes this time.

i hope avocados don't take longer than 36 hours to ripen....... i am sure there is some trick like sitting them in the bathtub in saran wrap but i don't know what it is

came across this website while looking for political information today ;) this thing is SO RUDE... it can't possibly be real, can it? isn't it illegal to make a sex toy out of the president? it should be!

off to the land of nod... pics from the day:

  3. Super pics Carol. You are so lucky to have a theme park on your doorstep. Did the dog get a digestive?

    Now that's taking your affection of the president a tad to far ;-)

    Hey Carol. Put your Avo in a brown paper bag with an apple. It'll be ripe in no time. (It's properly ripe when the stalk sinks into the fruit when you push down on it.)

  5. I was gonna tell you the avocado thing that Tarnya said. Other than that, go to Superior and pick up some ripe ones for almost no money. :D

  9. Graham the vets here swear blind that chocolate is poisonous to dogs... i know my english dogs ate pounds of it and it never did them any harm but people would call the police here if they saw you giving a dog chocolate! and grapes too are supposed to be bad for them (i tell ya, american dogs just aren't as hardy as english dogs ;)

  10. I love pound cake, and definitely think it is the perfect breakfast. I love your Disney pics. Danny looks like he is having the best time.

    Carol, you could use newspaper instead.

    Re dogs and chocolate: I once worked for a family who had the most detestable dog on the planet (I actually love dogs, really!). Anyway it got into my handbag and ate an entire bar of precious open-only-in-an-emergency Green and Black's organic 80% dark chocolate. Even though I was livid about the theft of my black gold, I was really pleased that the little toad was going to die a horrible death from poisoning. But guess what? It survived! Life can be so unfair....
