Thanksgiving was wonderful. I came clean to my mom about being poly, which she accepted and understood, and let me know that she wanted me to be happy, and didn't think it would make me happy, but she respects my choice. Overall a much better reaction than I'd feared. She'd also already pretty much figured it out and was trying to figure out how to ask. The food was phenomenal, though, and for the...

Dear Dr. Fingers , Why don't I have the ability to create bourbon from thin air? - Virginia

As I mentioned before, our dining table in our new dining room looks pathetically small. It's quite funny to look at. I have pictures, but we still have no internet, so you'll have to wait on them. So, last night, angrybunnyman and I went out looking for replacements. And found a great one. This table with one of these chairs for the head , then some far less ornate, more modern looking...

2 bed, 1 3/4 bath apt. on West Side is available for sublet in late November! We'll be moving out the weekend of the 13th so it will be ready for move-in the next Monday. We'll cover rent for those two weeks as well. :) The place is located on Midtown road and it is just crazy good. Quick access to the all of Epic's locations. Quick drive to Copps on Junction, Princeton Club and West Towne mall. ...

This. Suffice to say, we're essentially starting over. Madison people? If you're looking at houses, don't come anywhere NEAR Howard Williams. They're the ones with the black signs. They're lazy and no good.

Thistle Originally uploaded by FlutterbyV I'm feeling very much the loner today. In a not good way. I had dreams last night of losing friendships. One of which was lost a long time ago, and I thought I was finally pretty much over. Guess my brain has other ideas. The other was a friendship that I never really wanted in the first place, and was long gone a really long time ago, so I don't...

Seriously? If I'd known hollandaise was THAT easy, I'd have been making it regularly for AGES. That? Up there? BEST VEGGIE EVAR! That? Mixed with Hollandaise? I died and went to heaven last night. So, I mussed up the Hollandaise recipe from what I've found around just a little bit to make it more artichoke friendly. Here's what I came up with. Artichokes with Garlic Hollandaise 2 fresh artichokes...

angrybunnyman is going to run every day for a week to try to break his slump. Me? I'm going to do my Jillian DVD. I want to break the barrier that's keeping me from going under 220 lbs. I've been bouncing around 220 - 223 since a week or so after we got back from Sweden, and it's time to move on. Not that I don't like how I look now, actually. I'm pretty happy with it. But I want to see...

Maggs Originally uploaded by FlutterbyV The weekend started off with a bang... :) Friday night was... I honestly don't even remember. Probably hanging out with angrybunnyman and relaxing. We were awakened sometime around 3ish in the morning by a couple of loud pops. We thought someone might be egging the wall, and ABM got up to look and see if he could see anything, but he couldn't...
