I just made peanut butter and honey pancakes.
I know there are people out there that have never had this amazing concoction so let me tell you - you’re missing out.
I am one of those people and would like the recipe, please.
Middle Names
acheron:
citizenrockfordkane:
What gets into new parents that they burden their child with a middle name so horrific it can only cause mirth?
James T Kirk’s mother for instance. What was she thinking?
A friend of mine recently had a baby, and in the next bed to her was a woman who had given her new daughter the middle name of “Danger”. Really. I am not making this up.
The kids with...
I am excited
acheron:
After weeks of indecision about whether to get a Sony or a Mac, the husband is going to buy me a Mac. This will be a whole new learning curve for me. Frankly, I’m terrified.
How exciting, Ach! You will catch on quickly, I know it. And then you’ll love it and will be a Mac fan for life.
one last thing before I go.

On the roof of Momo’s in Austin. Drinking a cold, frosty beverage and listening to a good band.
Momo’s is such a cool place. And Momo is also a nickname of mine. My Momo’s shirt is one of my favorites. (:

hair
am-:
hmm…. i might ask my hairdresser. and i guess the thing is that if i get it done and hate it, it’s easy enough to dye it dark again myself.
That seems like it’d be true but my hairdresser told me that it’s quite the opposite - it’s really hard to go to dark from light (and I know from experience too when I tried to dye my hair dark myself… he ended up having to fix...
Without Me - Eminem
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
‘Cause we need a little controversy
because it feels so empty without me
This came on my iPod while I was running a few days ago. I found it interesting.
I just want to say
acheron:
(Again - no reblogs please and I don’t expect any anyway.)
that I really understand why no-one wants to be associated with me and that’s fine.
But I have feelings too.
To spare upset all round for the time being I’m not going to be reblogging anyone.
I’ll be associated with you anytime. Anyone that knows you knows what a good person you are and anyone who took the time to...
Defense of a fangirl
acheron:
Let me set the records straight without subtext or any hidden meanings or out of context. Then the haters can all unfollow me and that will be fine (if they haven’t already done so).
Ryan, at no time did I pour scorn on the fact that you are going deaf. I was nothing but supportive and sympathetic and understanding of what you were going through in that regard. When you were having...
jholla:
That being said, I have a very strong opinion about the crap that is showing up on my dashboard this morning but I feel like my voice will get lost in all of the shit that is flying toward the fan.
Ditto.
Mandy Moore's blog
acheron:
Has anyone else checked this out (thank you tby and a friend). Looks like Ryan was posting on there last night.
Is he really sad and low and asking for our sympathy?
Or is he as he said hiking, walking the dog and stuff in the sunshine with Mandy Moore?
Anyone else feel dirty?
He absolutely wrote that. I don’t know if it’s all a game or what. I believed his post about...

msgrisgris:
Is it ok to send a text to my ex and just say somthing like ‘hey, I don’t want to bother you in any way, but i’m just wondering how you’ve been.’
Is that inappropriate? Self-serving? SELFISH?!
I’m so torn. But after nearly a decade together and then nothing it’s natural to care and wonder how that person is.
So, should I do it???
hmmm good question. i don’t know.

Steve Jobs is stepping down from Apple?
It’s all too much for my brain to process right now.
Jumping on the Apple cart.

nashvilleneedsmoremetaphors:
The home machine is on its last legs and the time for a new computer is at hand. So…I’m contemplating a jump to Apple. Only problem is for the same price as a decent notebook, I could probably buy something like a dozen duplicates of the car I currently (and historically for that matter) drive.
I could get a new car, but this one has no...
DVDs
acheron:
My intention to watch at least one DVD a weekcontinues and this week it’s Ladies In Lavender. Since my neighbour (he of the early morning meetings a la dressing gown) has discovered by plan he is plying me with DVDs he thinks I should watch. Two great British dames.
Don’t forget Almost Famous! I can recommend lots more, but another one to put near the top is In Bruges. It was...

Nooo! I have yet to discover an amount that is too much. What were you putting it on?

I tried to exhibit some self control by not downloading the tumblr app for my iPhone…and then I remembered I don’t have any self control.
Done and done.
If you lasted a week you lasted longer than I did! Did you get Tumblr Pro? It’s worth the $1.99.
Survey
electricpencils:
I keep seeing single question surveys, like how tall are you, etc. I think we should each post a picture and answer the following questions, just to get to know each other better. And let’s remember that this started with me, Electric Pencils, because I like getting credit for things.

No worries. I’m not secretive about my Ranch love (: And there is definitely such a thing as not-good Ranch. What kind of dressing do you put on salads?
I love anything ginger….so good.
Good for you too! I just had a ginger salad with lunch at my favorite Thai place.

I’ve decided that I hate Ranch dressing.
I know, I know…
I keep thinking to myself “people are crazy about this stuff so there has to be a really good one out there”….but no.
I’m always disappointed no matter what I put it on. And sorry to those of you that have one of those crazy ranch fetishes. You know what I’m talking about - the people...
