Wandered over to St. Anselm's Carnival Friday night where I had a kielbasa sandwich, MFD got some of his beloved cherry bells and funnel cake, and I watched carnies glance around furtively as carnies are wont to do.

Me: I wish I had like eight pet penguins.
MFD: We should get a pet penguin.
Me: We'd need eight. They like to pal around together.
MFD: We should get a rockhopper penguin.
(silence while I google an image)
Me: Really? That's a F'd up penguin.

Look what my dogs left out front: a Mother's Day card. MFD busted through the door with it upon his return from playing at the Susan G. Komen walk Sunday morning and said he found it out there.

Food prep for the week: cutting up fruits & veg, making
cilantro lime quinoa, egg salad,
broccoli breakfast bake, and Lauren Schwarz's crockpot creation (chicken tenderloins, block of cream cheese, can of cream of chicken soup, half jar of jalapenos, cooked/crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, cook on low for four hours, shred, serve over rice).
MFD came into the kitchen just as I was about to load the dishwasher.
MFD: Whoa. It looks like you just opened a restaurant in here.
Me: I did. It's called This Week's Food. Now get.

Hearing the Pina Colada song on the way home got me thinking...seriously, the woman places a personal ad, the guy answers it, and when they find out it's the other one, all she says is "Aw it's you," then they laugh for a moment, and he says "I never knew that you liked pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, etc..." I guess them saying F U for placing a personal ad and F U for answering it and throwing drinks in each other's faces in O'Malleys where they were supposed to plan their escape wouldn't have fit in with the wistful loviness the song is trying to evoke.
I just mini-ranted on The Pina Colada song.
