I'd originally figured Sunday would be a good day for a fast, since I’d only planned to do some yard work until dark, then put in a couple of hours’ worth of job-hunting on the ‘net. Nothing to work up an appetite over. “The best-laid plans” etc. I hadn’t figured on KtLW ‘n’ me being invited to a Polish Baptism--two kids we’d watched grow from knee-high to marriage-height had turned their parents into grandparents two weeks... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:39:47 -0600 here to compensate for the lack of detail there strikes me as being quintessentially Maggie-ish...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49075 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49075 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 06:11:48 -0600 Sorry about the echo, my evil delight is just bubbling over. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49061 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49061 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:16:45 -0600 comment over at Tanker Brothers......not much detail over there. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49060 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49060 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:15:18 -0600 comment over at Tanker Brothers......not much detail over there. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49059 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49059 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:15:12 -0600 blender boy" *smiling smugly*]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49058 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49058 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:07:37 -0600 KtLW has meandered off to the local deli--so, does 38-hours get me credit for an assist at snook-cocking whichever smoothie-slurper Cindy recruited for today? Maggie! You *remembered*!!! Awwwwww... AFSis - I hope the world goes easy on you... FYI, I tested kibble with mustard on the scruples. Jake is a "yea," Scout is a "nay," and Muffy bolted for the door with the first mouthful. Prolly should have used the Grey Poupon, I guess. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49043 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/no_good_deed_ever_goes_unpunished.html#comment-49043 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 12:24:52 -0600 WHOOO HOOO!

In true Winnie-the-Pooh fashion, you were stuck in the rabbit hole while Kanga and Roo had a lovely pique-nique. For starters: Mocha with whipped cream and chocolate curls with a shot of hazelnut. Fruit salad with pineapple, blood orange and watermelon. Omelette with caramelized mushrooms and onions, seasoned with a bit of chervil cheese. On the side, a sizzling ham steak. Blueberry muffins with honey butter. Another menu choice is French toast with a spread made of Nutella and cream cheese, sausages and ambrosia.

I promise not to mention M&Ms or Nutola if you promise not to mention coffee or bourbon. Ooop--waitaminnit. Master Gunner sez coffee and bourbon are okay. No deal... *dodging flung Nutola jars (empty)* You had your laugh. You had your fun.

Good thing beer's not on the List of Forbidden Items. Although, judging from the comments at Tanker House, Mama Sheehan has decided that protein shakes, smoothies and ice cream are suitable as "fast food." Hey, *you* try coming up with a Cindy pun while you're wired... I napped for a bit--had an odd dream, too. I seem to recall being in a contest to eat the world's biggest marshmallow.
