Yogurt: The Followup.

As it turns out, no one is overly interested in how my homemade yogurt turned out.

TOO BAD.

I'm going to tell you all about it anyway.

Oh come on, quit your whining. Fine, I'll keep it short: it worked.

It was a little runny, but it was definitely yogurt. I'm going to have to tweak my process a little to get that nice thick consistency I want, but otherwise, I think I can now add making yogurt to my list of "Things I Do For Reasons I'm Not Entirely Clear About."

See? That wasn't too painful, was it? So, how was your weekend? Here's how my Boring weekend went:

Friday night:
Dinner and a drink with a handsome fella at The Front Porch thanks to the very sweet gift card given to us by the Blazin' Blaises.

Saturday:
Attempt to sleep in. Fail miserably.
Chase cat off my pillow (where she sits at best advantage to repeatedly poke me in the head) and get up. Coffee, coffee, coffee.
Farmers market, seafood market. Home.
Back out to grocery store. Home.
Back out to Home Goods. Buy new dishes. Home.
Fail to understand why Patrick isn't more excited about my new dishes.
Change clothes. Go to our friend's house for drink at the Bull Pen before we all go to dinner.
Shula's for our good buddy's Dirty Thirty. Enjoy the food, cry at the receipt. Go upstairs and hang out in the VIP section at Level8. (That's how we roll.)
Realize it's midnight and we have church in the morning. Remark how old we are. Home.
Fall asleep with a quickness.

Sunday:
Use Herculean strength to get out of bed.
Church.
Make lunch for my parents. (Or, sit with my parents while Patrick makes lunch.)
Downtime. Blessed, blessed downtime.
Evening class at church.
Home.
Asleep by 9:30.


Last week I asked what could be more boring than yogurt. I think with this post, I may have answered my own question. Sorry y'all. I'll try to step it up next time! Happy Tuesday.

PS--If anyone actually cares about the steps I took, I did go through the trouble of taking some pics of the process. Let me know and I can post 'em up and make all your lives a little more Plain (like the yogurt I made) or Boring (like me).

Now that's my mama's style.

Image
Once upon a time, about 4 or so years ago, my 4-year old niece was helping me browse in Marshall's. She pointed to a shirt, told me it was cute, and I asked if she thought her mom, my sister, would like it. "Umm, it's cute, but it's not my mama's style." Ever since then, anything that I don't quite like "is not my mama's style." I tell you that to tell you this. For a while I have been ready to get rid of our living room furniture. I'm incredibly grateful to have it, as it was given to us in good condition for the low, low cost of FREE. Me likey the free stuff. However, "it's not my mama's style" and Patrick and I agreed we'd like to eventually have furniture because we like it and not just because it was $0.00. Well, big news on that front. Hold the phone, hit pause on your walkman (oh, you have a discman? Pardon me!), and listen to this:   We bought a couch! Oh, silly you. You thought I was going to s...

Love and marriage.

Image
Today is the 2nd anniversary of the biggest party Patrick and I have ever thrown. Also, the day we got married. Also, the day I ugly-cried in front of roughly 180 people. For some of you seasoned vets, the idea of just two years of marriage makes you say, "Aww, how sweet, still newly weds. They have no idea..." I'd like to respectfully pooh-pooh the idea that we're naive just because we're still so newly wed. Because how could we be but otherwise? Until the future arrives, knocks on our door, and politely introduces itself, we're all naive as to what's in store for us. I'm sure bad times will come for us, as they inevitably do, but I count myself blessed that we'll have several solid years of happiness under our belts to help buoy us through whatever storms come our way. So, no, we don't have any idea what we're in for. But one idea I'm very, very clear about? My old (young) man is my number 1 favorite thing on this planet. ...

Have you seen a gorilla make love, Bruno?

Image
One day last week, as I was leaving work, Bruno Mars' song "Gorilla" came on the radio. This song is super popular and catchy. And super raunchy. Talking about legs in the sky and making love like gorillas and stuff. So inapprop. Before last week, I just thought of it as such--a raunchy, albeit catchy, song. Since two Saturdays ago, however, I can only think of one thing: actual gorillas doing it. Everyone has told me lately to enjoy sleeping in while I can. So, naturally, I wake up before 7:00 on Saturdays--my one day to sleep in--so that Lizzie can have breakfast and the pleasure of my company. She insists, and I cave. (Perhaps I'll be a bad parent. "You want Oreos and Kool-Aid for breakfast? Okay. If you insist.") Anyway. I'm going to tell you something I'm positive you don't need to be told at all. There isn't much to watch on the major networks at 7am on a Saturday. After flipping through the channels repeatedly that morning, I fin...
