(is that one word?) and then, because they must be loaded with carbs instead of actual meat, they totally let me down and i crashed. hard. and here in DK, they just spoon the sauce up right on them with a big old ladle. you must come and visit.julochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884096685015570257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-4004587284467466672008-08-27T19:56:00.000+02:002008-08-27T19:56:00.000+02:00I guess by this point you must realize that we don...I guess by this point you must realize that we don't *want* you to have bad days (any more than we want them for ourselves) but we do want you to write about them if you have them.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry that even the meatballs did not provide you some solace, as I find that drowning sorrows in food is a lovely pasttime. And I think those meatballs are particularly delicious, even without the sauce in the packet (purchased separately).<BR/><BR/>I hope that Sabin will go through her schooling with the same sense of discernment as her brilliant mother!tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-58137477444696839712008-08-27T19:25:00.000+02:002008-08-27T19:25:00.000+02:00Wow, I thought I was the only one who had these ty...Wow, I thought I was the only one who had these types of days of total organized chaos.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post, it was fun, made me laugh til I nearly peed and made me realize that everybody has "those" kind of days.

That, when we're kids, we don't get to choose, we're just born into whatever. But when we are adults, absolutely every feature of our lives is because of the choices we've made. And you, honey, chose the risengrød conversation at the elementary school with the wretched extrabladet readers. <BR/><BR/>I used to envy you. What happened? <BR/><BR/>Very nice writing. Your mind, scary as this may sound, wanders into similar obsessions that my mind does. Perhaps someone outside of blogspot should be publishing you.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744602248821996939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-73759314842261481602008-08-27T04:13:00.000+02:002008-08-27T04:13:00.000+02:00Oh my God!

I needed this wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL bit of story telling so bad - I have been laughing my rear off (for which I offer a very sincere thank you!). Yes, I know those days - I've been having a few right in a row, but magically! - I do believe you have broken that spell of yuckiness because this VERY MOMENT the ever-wonderful Michael just called & said hey, let's take tomorrow off & go out on the barge & just do nothing. To which I readily agreed. I am on my way to put a sign on the door.<BR/><BR/>LOVE this post.<BR/>:) Debid smith kaich joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450581639610967780noreply@blogger.com
