Fostering a Taste for the Decadent

I have officially created a cookie snob.

I finally made those cookies from the Toll House dough from the refrigerator section of and my husband doesn't like them. (It's snowing, nice warm cookies are a fun treat.) And he doesn't like them. It just figures! I've now cultivated in him a taste for real butter and real vanilla extract and and all the warm deliciousness that it implies. (This is clearly why he blames me for making him fat.)

I don't really like them either but I'm just saying...people are not supposed to know the difference, right? But he totally knows!

On a side note I think I've given up on Holiday Shopping. Am I really done? Not so much. But I'm over it. lol I like the holidays, and I like lame holiday music, and I even like Egg Nog but it's not really the same. I miss Amanda and cooking strange random recipes with her. I miss Kim not being literally attached to the baby all the time and buying me gifts that have absolutely nothing to do with any of my likes or interests whatsoever. I miss having holidays up at the Farm. It just feels a lot different this year and I know I'm an adult and change is a natural progression but it's just a lot all at once and I'm just a tiny bit sad to say goodbye to it all.

I guess it just means we have to actively make new traditions and new rituals and new things to look forward to.

A Jawline Sharp Enough to Cut Glass

Have you been inundated with Matt Rife?  I don't want to sound like a hater. I think humor is relative and subjective and he is funny and certainly has proven he is successful at it. I'm not here to criticize his actual craft.  I for one never understood when Dane Cook was hot and selling out Madison Square Garden with his schtick.  I don't personally get it, but I'm not the humor police and that's why there are so many options available, right?  Same with Matt Rife.  There is not one standard for being a good comic.  I just happen to not guffaw at his humor as much as just give it a small smirk.  It's interesting observation about being in gay shape? But he's literally already fit so...how much more fit does he perceive gay men to be? Does he go to the gym with like, Mr. World contenders?  In the world I live in he'd be considered very fit.  I'm not crying from the obscurity and absurd premise that gay men are in super shape. I tend to like somethin

Double Your Stoves, Double Your Fun

House, how's the HOUSE, Kelly? That's what our families are always asking. If you're tired of house talk, turn away. Our water closet on the first floor has been though an awful lot. That poor little room. When we first bought the house it had a shower stall and a toilet. Seeing the obvious problem with going to the potty and having to rinse your hands in a shower stall we pulled that shower out and placed it on the 2nd floor (for now) and were living okay with a vanity in it's place. However, like with a lot of things in the house the water closet still needs work and so this past Sunday it got gutted. The toilet and vanity are now in my kitchen (my poor kitchen) and Trevor's been working on fixing the wall there to be more sound proof. It's one of the very few walls through which we can hear our tenants. Otherwise the house is so massive that I can't even tell when they're home. I covered up the pink paint (yay!) and we've bought new tile
