The recipe is my mom’s; I had meant to show the process as I was making them, but it doesn’t really work when you’ve got salsa de enchiladas slathered all over your hands. *The* IP and I will have this for dinner, followed up by his birthday ice cream cake. I will sing “Happy Birthday” [...]
So even though I co-own the Mazda3 and even though my name appears first on the lease, I really haven’t driven the car since we got it over the last long weekend in DC (as opposed to the “next long weekend” which people on Google and Yahoo keep on searching for – just bookmark OPM’s [...]
Posts I should work on but am too lazy to begin:
The post about how my two favorite pairs of shoes have been sadly defeated by the mile-long walks to and from the Metro. I received my second pair for my birthday – not three months later and they are gone. My first pair [...]
Happy birthday to my fiancé, who is a sprightly 34 (thirty-four; treinta y cuatro; trentaquattro; trideset četiri; třicet-čtyři; fire og tredive; vierendertig; tiedonhaku-ja neljä; trente-quatre; vierunddreißig; tριάντα τεσσερα; trettifire; trzydzieści cztery; trinta e quarto; treizeci şi patru de; тридцать четыре; trettiofyra) today. Many happy returns from your 30-year-old fiancée, who adores the hell out [...]
IP and I have received our first gift in the wedding sweepstakes (as it were). The gift came from a couple who is friends with IP’s parents. What was amazing to me, besides the fact that we already have a gift in hand? My name was spelled correctly! Yippee!
That aside, the [...]

Voldemort has somehow triggered Armaggedon, and IP and I find ourselves smack in the middle of it during a museum visit in DC. We have some family and friends with us as the sky starts to darken, the streets of DC begin to crumble and allow molten lava to pour through, and shrieks of [...]
Note to people responding to emails that I have sent them, in which my first name appears unabridged and in its correct three-syllable glory: my name ends with an “a”. For example, with my pseudonym: name’s WordNerd, not WordNer. Your dumb ass mistake is why I respond to you with the last letter [...]
♦ I have jury duty in a couple of weeks. This is all well and good because I view this as an opportunity to do some heavy-duty reading and avoid work. I realize that there is a chance I may end up selected for a trial, but as long as the trial ends [...]
Oh, Spindly-Legged Couple. Why do you even try?
The Spindly-Legged Couple, mentioned on this blog only in comments, is an tiny yet interesting aspect in the lives of my dear fiancé and I. The SLC are what could be considered neighbors, but they do not live in our building; they live a few buildings [...]
