- The Big Bang Theory is absolutely hilarious. Uber-intelligent humor – who woulda thunkit? Bazinga!
- For the record, while I agree Jim Parsons is hilarious and brilliant, I think Johnny Galecki’s work is under appreciated, and it seems like he’s acting in Parsons’s shadow when you read reviews and look at award nominations. Maybe I’m biased because I know more “Leonards” in real life than “Sheldons,” maybe it’s just that I’ve always been a fan of the straight man, or maybe I’m right. (Stranger things have happened.)
- I spray painted the Ikea-door-turned-headboard last week, but we haven’t hung it yet. I can’t decide whether or not to add a coat of poly.
- I have got to stop drinking coffee in the evenings. Caffeine never used to affect me like this, but I couldn’t fall asleep until after 2:30 this morning after having a cup when the kids went to bed. I could just bite the bullet and buy some decaf. Duh.
- Second Blooming is one of my new favorite blogs, found courtesy of Random Tuesday Thoughts, and thanks to Gretchen, I am now craving bacon. Badly.
- Our den has exploded. There have been boxes stacked in here for months, and we tore into them this weekend. The good news is that we have a couple more of bags full of paper recycling, a couple more boxes filled with garage sale stuff, and – although the room generally looks much worse than it did Saturday morning – there is a light at the end of the tunnel room. (And I don’t mean the daylight currently streaming through the sliding glass door.) The bad news is that I have two more boxes of craft supplies for which I need to find a home.

Did you see that Lisa left a recipe for that fabulous bacon?! As a public service, I will pass it on;
“Mix 1/4 c brown sugar & 1/2 t cayenne in a gallon size zip bag. (throw some cumin in there if you must) Separate 8 slices of thick cut bacon and put them in the bag, zip it up and mush it around until the bacon is all coated. Then bake it on a rack in a single layer (not touching) at 375 for about 15 minutes.”
Doesn’t that sound outrageous! Of course, I’d rather have Betty make it for me, but…
Thanks for the link! I’m so flattered!

I don’t have TV so I have to wait for my local video rental place to get shows in. I saw part of an episode of this the last time I was on an airplane and it looked good so I was peeved when the airline video crapped out on me.
Moving and having to unpack the things you just packed up is such a laborious process but often it results in clearing away a lot of detritus and so I usually end up feeling better afterwards.
I mostly drink decaf anyway (palpitations) so I’m used to it. Even so, I can’t drink coffee in the afternoon or evenings. It’s psychological for me I think.
