How it’s done.
During the lazy times, I admit to relying on mac-n-cheese as the sole component of dinner occasionally. However, I dress it up with tomatoes. Pour a third-to-half a can of diced tomatoes in a bowl, sprinkle with basil and nuke for a minute or so and put on top of your serving. Viola! Fake spaghetti!
You are in two camps when in comes to this: My camp, which is full of awesomeness and has Starbursts for dessert, or Lloyd’s camp, which is stupid and closed-minded. Lloyd would rather eat macaroni out of his shoe than put tomatoes on it.
Ironically, when I was in grade school, the one side dish that I remember was macaroni and tomatoes. I don’t think there was much, if any, cheese in there, but just the thought of eating it made me want to barrrrrrrrrrfff. What has changed? In my old age will I begin to crave other things I detested?
Surprise!
Lilies! As always, Brad, they are a delightful shock when we see them in late summer. Thanks. 🙂
Also a surprise? Since the virus debacle, our readership has plummeted. We now have about four readers, so I’m going to guess it’s Brad, Peggy, Kristi and me. (Lloyd never reads this.) So, say what you want, guys! We’re all alone in our own little club!
PSA
Just a public service announcement that if you arrived at our site from Google sometime in the past few days and got some ‘virus alert’ window, you may now have a virus – from that. Booooooooooooo Google virus.
Let me have Lloyd tell you some techno-babble that might help:
We were using an older version of WordPress, and that wasn’t a good idea. Anyway, if you have the site bookmarked, if you click on a link from another website or if you type the address into your address bar, then you don’t have anything to worry about. But there were a couple of days (well, at least one) where if you searched for our site on Google, you were redirected to one of those “fake virus removal” sites.
At that point, you probably wondered what was going on and clicked the back button or closed the browser window. Those are fine things to do in that case. But if, instead, you followed the instructions on your screen, there’s a chance that you might have a virus. But not if you have an Apple computer, and probably not if you keep your Windows computer updated.
In short, you’re probably fine, but we wanted to issue a general warning.
Lauren here again. Sorry everybody.
Done.
My brain is fried. It was a long, long, long weekend of cleaning and building, but it’s all done now. Bring on the kiddos.
Before:
There were some projects besides the room and the photo board, but I’ll save them for later.
In syndication
*sigh* I am living last year over again. I was working in my classroom this weekend and my laptop died on Saturday. It’s doing the same thing it did the last time, so that means opening it up and cleaning it out, but there’s no time for that.
On Sunday I was walking around school barefoot when my foot started doing that pain/itchy thing again. After the pain went away I kept feeling like I had something stuck to the bottom of my foot – like a ball of tape or something. I wiped my feet and realized it was a bulge of blood under my skin. *jibblie*
Lloyd wouldn’t pick up his phone to hear me complain about it, so I took lots of pictures. Sorry.
I should look at the rest of last year’s posts so I can tell my future.
