The Hunger Rants

[NikLR 13,231]

Boys tend to take longer in my experience (with nephews and friend's children.)

[SAT 9,609]

The older one was 3 and a half by the time she was potty trained. 

Little Turtle is much faster.

I don't think full fat ice cream is anywhere close to an issue for you considering the whoppers you eat on a weekly basis.  Lol

Last post on page and unread, sorry Niki-B. ma'am.

In case anyone might use Burger King as a parallel, we do not live Many/Many (2x2x2x2+[2x2x2]/[2x2x2-1]) within reach of a Burger King refrigerator, no man.

Interesting to us is that Mini-B. has had no wet-bedding incidents, except partially once when a leak preceded his arising to use the bathroom, disciplined wee man.

Saturday GS report, see man:

 

We attended Many GSs and 2 ESs, and found stuff only at one ES, that's how it goes sometimes man.

 

The take, see man:

-- nearly full Costco-sized stack of Hefty styrofoam dinner-plates; toucans Cream of Mushroom soup (unexpired);

     sealed bottle Wesson vegetable oil; full can black pepper = $Many ($2x2x2-1), OK man

 

ES lady knocked price down from $Many ($2x2x2); we should have countered with $Many ($2+2+2), better deal man.

In throes of usual Sat.-night laundry, routine we man.

We have begun using a Costco-sized box of Bounce dryer-sheets, soften fabric we man.

Just like last year, these sheets are causing us to cough like an illegitimate male child, hack we man.

 

At an average of Many (2+2+2) loads per weekend, and one sheet per dryer load, we will be in misery for months as we use up the remaining Many ([2x2x2x2]00 - 2) sheets in the box, muscle through it we man.

Mrs. T-B. off doing empresaria work & Mini-B. at little amigo's casa all day, absent she & wee man.

 

After GS-ing, we visited Sears, store sadly closing down man.

We bought a bed pillow & surge-protector on markdown, deal man.

We also bought a Pulsar watch with stretch band at Many% (2x2x2x2x2x2-2-2%) off, pretty good man.

We need to buy a battery for it, find vendor in Spanish-people supermarket man.

 

After that, we lunched at a Chinese buffet where we hadn't been before, pretty good ingest we man.

We then returned to the casa and entertained the bored cat, miffed miu man.

We then napped, soon joined by cat, we and miu zzz man.

Upon awakening, we mowed the front lawn, industrious we man.

 

Upon recovering, we went to CVS and cleaned up with use of coupons, nearly free man.

We then went to Aldi, standard weekly visit man.

We then stopped at a legacy supermarket for the one item not stocked by Aldi, frustrating man.

 

At the casa, we put away all purchases, clean we man.

We then picked our shirts & ties for next week, day earlier than usual man.

We then dished the warsher, mandatory on Sat. eve man.

We are excited by the Single Life, thrilling stuff above to report yawn man.

 

Mrs. T-B. & Mini-B. finally returned, already way past Mini-B.'s bedtime, wide-awake wee man.

We read an entire "Bad Kitty" book to Mini-B., delighted wee and we man.

Both Mrs. T-B. & Mini-B. out like lights, deep zzz she & wee man.

Second/final laundry load nearly baked, fold soon we man.

[TBoneTX 45,851]

Fold de-dish cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', etc.!

Enjoying the beach for a week before I go to Monterrey for work.

I feel like I haven't tattooed in ages, and I need money to recover from my Asia trip.

But I don't regret it one bit, I had a great time and if the world is ending, I got one big thing signed off my bucket list anyway.

I got stung by fire ants and my foot won't stop itching!!

All-day buffet for hormigas del fuego, huh D ma'am?

Not fun, no man.

Ever since we contracted for 2+2 pest-control sprayings per year, we have had only very occasional hills of those hormigas, relief man.

And we have asked Mrs. T-B., ask we of she man:  Why are they called "hormigas" and not just "ants," huh man?

[TBoneTX 45,851]

Had early-afternoon caucus with an amigo whom we hadn't seen in Many (probably 2x2x2+2+2) years, no man.

Much fun, glee man.

 

Mrs. T-B. had her Ecu handyman over to put together her desk & bookcase, empresaria she man.

Then she went to Office Despot to buy a task chair, seated hindquarters she man.

Then she wanted to yak with us for over an hour about her business, excited she man.

[TBoneTX 45,851]

We promised not to publicize details of the typical state of our kitchen, some things best left unsaid man.

However, we must report the following, full disclosure man:

 

Mrs. T-B. fried plantain for breakfast, shudder we man.

For lunch, she made chicken salad, concoct she man.

We have rarely seen more chaos left behind, stunned we man.

 

We keep a plastic tray in the sink, filled with clean soapy water, in which to put soiled silverware, theoretically man.

As of Saturday night, it was in that virgin state, diligent we man.

By eve tonight, it contained the following, see man:

-- several plates & cups

-- water-diluted mayonnaise

-- the manual can-opener

-- the plastic wrapper from an ice-pop

-- parsley leaves & sprigs (don't ask us how or why man)

-- soggy lumps from chocolate cupcakes (don't ask us how or why man)

-- a banana (not plantain) stem (don't ask us how or why man)

-- onion layers (don't ask us how or why man)

-- oh, and some silverware, imagine that man.

The water was as cloudy and slimy as if an industrial spill had occurred, murky man.

The rest of the sink was piled with unrinsed-off plates/cups/pans/silverware, sigh man.

 

This is not to mention the innumerable pans, plates, cups, utensils, & silverware left on the counter & stove, no mention we man.

It took us nearly an hour to unravel & pre-cleanse these items and to dish the warsher, good grief man.

 

We have given up mentioning any of this to Mrs. T-B., sigh man.

When we do, she gets offended and says, "Then I just won't cook," completely miss the point she man.

 

[TBoneTX 45,851]

Had to warsh/bake/fold Many (2+2), not just Many (2+1) laundry loads today, sigh man.

Had to break Mrs. T-B.'s stuff into 2 loads again, sartorially profligate she man.

Furthermore, we belatedly learned that Mini-B. had thrown half his dirty clothes into the upper level of the cat-tree, warsh it next week man.

There is no catch-breaking for the weary casa-husband, no man.

[TBoneTX 45,851]

Oh -- and for din-din, we had to eat chocolate ice cream, insult-to-injury man.

De-dish cat prep zzz man.
