I am SO with you on the QTip thing… that and the curried goat… oh yum yum.
But now you’ve reminded me that I haven’t taken out anything to defrost for dinner. Wonder if I can get away with takeout tonight. I want curried goat.
Wow — so many things about you I did not know. I’m totally with you on the Twizzlers thing (LOVE THEM! Have been known to hide the family-size package of them under the couch cushions so I can snack slowly on them for days without having to share…) However, I just have to say: curried goat ?!?!? and Old Spice ?!?!? and fluorescent lights ?!?!? Ok, the explanation of the lights was charming, so I get it, even though I personally hate that shade of light myself. But the goat and the Old Spice will have to just be on that list of differences that make you love your friends even more.
Also? Don’t you know that you’re not supposed to stick anything smaller than your own elbow in your ear? :)
I’ll play along sometime this week, if for no other reason than that you deserve to be able to mock me! Totally.
Thanks for the awesome blog love, but it is you that is hot my bloggy friend.. Your hotness radiates from Canada all the way down to the good ol’ USA.
Chess used to by my favorite past time with the hubby (with an endless supply of wine and cigs.. feels like forever ago). We can meet up and I can teach you!! :) (trying to get one step closer to you in true stalker fashion)
OH.MY.GOD. did you just quote ‘The cars that go boom’ by L’Trimm?????? Did you know that I run those lyrics in my head all the time?!?!?! Never-not one other person,(aside from my sister)that I know of, knows that songs ever existed.
we like the cars, the cars that go boom, we’re Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom
The more I read about these cheese steaks, the more I think I need to make a trip to Philly and try one of these things for myself.
By the way – we totally have Girl Guide cookies up here. Good luck trying to find them, though. They last about 2 seconds when the girls set up outside of Wal-Mart or the Super Store. They don’t even bother going door-to-door. Why waste time walking around when your customers will come to you?
I’m really with you on the “Rain on hot concrete”. You took me way back to my youth with those few simple words. It’s amazing how mere words describing a scent can stimulate such a visceral reaction…
I think you like that dog because it is the kind of dog you would normally be afraid of, but it has convinced you it won’t harm you. It has now moved into the realm of being your protector when it’s around. I’m thinking it’s all sorts of bad-ass, but won’t use it on you, so that bad-assness would be turned on anyone that would threaten its people, and you have the clear sense that you are one of its people.
Which says something about lots of stuff.

We have Girl Guide cookies in Canadaland, but only two kinds – both which are disgusting. Nothing like the Samosas you all talk about :( Even when I was a Brownie, we had better cookies.
Ok, either we have to be bff somewhere at some time, or you need to write a book with you as the heroine so that I may vicariously crawl inside your head and hang out with you for like a week.
Come to think of it, make it a series of books where I am your clumsy but lovable sidekick and maybe we solve mysteries, K?
I chime in on your blog once in a while in the last month since i found it. late night, can’t sleep kinda thing.
chess, makeup, handwriting analysis and Old Spice.
all of the above. Your friend is right, anytime I’m down, I go buy a lipstick and feel like i have gotten something just for me.
I once counted nearly 20 lipsticks in my purse no wonder it was so heavy. i love chess. and i can copy other people’s handwriting as well, i love it when i find a really good piece of handwriting. i’ve noticed that a lot of Americans have similar handwriting. big choppy prints or wide-spaced. i dunno, just an observation.
I LOVE Lava soap. Papa worked is a cable splicer and always had dirty hands. He would come home and scrub away with that stuff, followed by Cornhuskers Lotion. I used to use it because it was gritty (and because Papa did).
I also LOVE cheesesteaks. The best ones I ever had were when I lived in New Jersey.
I could go a week without showering before I could go a day without putting Q-tips to their intended use. Yes, I know that was a little too much information, but I’m just saying …
As for Philly cheesesteaks, I’ve never had an authentic one. But I absolutely know that if I ever did, we would have to immediately relocate to a house across the street from the authentic source. Some things — like what would happen to one’s marriage if George Clooney moved in next door — one just knows.
