This and That
Someone found this site by Googling "boobs and burger video."

Here's what I had for dinner tonight, while Simon was at band practice:
Asparagus drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, baked at 375ish for 15ish minutes, then topped with a hard-boiled egg and shredded parmesan. Yes, this will fill me up.
When I'm not feeling the (self-imposed) pressure to craft something hot, healthy, quick, and tasty for my man, I seem to do just fine making hot, healthy, quick, and tasty for myself. Among my goals is remembering to make enough for two and to pick a vegetable he'll actually eat.
We're having fresh peaches for dessert when he gets home.

Not enough room in your bureaus for all your shirts? Grab a few hanging shoe organizers and behold how many snarky T-shirts you can fit into each one of those little fabric cubbies!
When we drive Stan to his new temporary home in Southern California at the end of September, we will be returning with a big, beautiful, all-wood armoire. "Big kid furniture!" squeals the girl who has been sleeping on a futon for five years and keeping her jeans in the chest of drawers bought for her nursery in 1979.

Whoorl is totally having a baby. Like right now. Go say hi!

Do you pee in front of your significant other? Simon seems to think it's a part of a healthy relationship, and I seem to be right that only good things can come to the family that AVOIDS sharing those special moments between a grownup and his or her potty. And is it just me or does porcelain cause bare thighs to flatten and spread in a particularly grotesque way--much more so than in shorts or on the edge of a hot tub or in any other pantsless situations you may find yourself in? Anyway, stop standing outside the bathroom whimpering like a pup. Let me keep this for myself.

What in the mother hell is this? Please click "view on model" to get the whole effect, and then join me in my bewilderment.

Because I love you and I want you to be happy.

Quincy Jones and Meryl Streep: who is more overrated? Our conclusion: "Meryl Streep gets her dick sucked WAY more than Quincy does. I mean, at least he deserves most of it." "And at least he has a dick."

Whatcha thinkin' 'bout?
I'm thinking that I really should get to bed.
Oh, and those boots (?) are hideous!
The internet bubble sheet just made the rest of my month! Thank you! :-)
Before we were married a co-worker of my husband said something to him about how soon he'd be shaving and I'd pop in to pee. He told me about it and I said, "Uh, no." And I'm proud to say it's never happened. I will say though, this kept him very unaware of women's bathroom habits until our daughter started using the toilet. She wants to wipe sitting down and flush with her foot and he doesn't know how to proceed. Sorry, was that TMI?
Also, the boots. I got the anthropolgie catalog in the mail yesterday and about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw those boots. I hope I don't see someone wearing them in real life or I might point and laugh, and well, that would be rude.
Bewildered doesn't begin to address my feelings about those mushroom-stompers.
I have peed in front of SOs but maybe I'm immune to the weirdness after growing up in a house where doors were rarely closed.
No to the boots (I doubt they'd have my size and the guys would make fun of me).
YES to the bubble wrap (I've bookmarked that to keep the boys busy for hours when needed).
No to the shared toilet (and I'm not even going to go in to why, 'cause if you have to explain that...).
I'm thinking people spend a lot of money to look bad in those boots.
I do peee in front of my mate, but sometimes I need to have the facut running.
A real dresser, Wow you're going to be a real girl Leah, just close your eyes and wish. ;)
I will have try that with asparagus, sounds yummy, and every other time I've had asparagus it's been very meh.
I'm with you on the no shared peeing experience. HTB and I are totally comfortable with each other in every other way, but having done the peeing in front of SO before, I'm trying something different this time. This may change over time after we get hitched, but for as long as possible, I'd like to preserve the illusion of a teensy bit of mystery!
Those bootie things are nasty. That picture on the model is like something out of a very weird dream. Do people buy/wear these things?
I will only pee in when steve's in the room if he's in the shower and I tell him not to look (he doesn't). I have seen him pee - either at home or in the woods while camping or hiking but I would prefer to pee alone.
LOVE the bubblewrap! That is too fun.
We pee in front of each other...but #2 is NOT AN OPTION.
The boots? Who designed those? Seriously.
The bubble wrap? Will add that to the folder I have for my kids' websites (and I may have to use it once in awhile)
And I think I may have to run out for asparagus :)
I've never had a boiled egg with asparagus, but roasting it with olive oil, salt, and pepper is my absolute favorite way to eat it. So delicious!
Those boots are hideous.
Pee, yes. Poo, no. And I have a weird thing about peeing in front of anyone when I'm squatting in the woods or something (vulnerability, I guess). I make him not watch if I'm copping a squat, but on the toilet? No problem.
I think that anyone wanting to dress up as a button-covered goat for halloween should totally get those, um, things for the feets.
I think that it's a crying shame that asparagus is so expensive here, even when it's in season. I love it so. Maybe next year I'll try growing it in the garden.
And I totally did that with my shirts for over a year when I first moved here (since I didn't have any furniture and didn't want to spend 3 arms and 2 legs on a dresser).
I agree with you 100% on the pee issue. Let the mystery live, ya know?
Thank you so much for the bubble wrap. You just made my Friday a lot less productive!
Yes, what IS IT with the toilet and the spready thighs. Whenever I look down at myself when I'm peeing I do a little "GAH, cut out the chocolate chip cookies, Clink." Lord knows I'd never let anyone else get a peek at that view. Glad it's not just me.
Thank you for making this unfortunately long week entertaining! Those "shoes"...what??? Is it wrong that I immediately went to manic mode on the bubble poppers?
BTW, this is my first time commenting. I, too, am a Utah native living in San Francisco. Love your blog!!
OHMYGOD, sitting on porcelain and looking at my thighs is about the worst thing ever for my self-esteem. It's awful- even worse than sitting on a fence or something.
And can I just tell you how much Anthropologie annoys me? Stick figures can wear their clothes. In all my times there and trying on clothes, I've bought ONE shirt that fit correctly. I go in and exclaim over how cute everything is and then step into the dressing room for ultimate disappointment. It sucks.
There is no peeing around Adam, even after almost 8 years of being together. He finds nothing wrong with it, but it completely and totally freaks me out, so we don't.
Separately, I can't really concentrate on much else other than that gorgeous plate of asparagus. Was it good? Did the egg work out? I do not lie when I tell you I'm *already* thinking about having exactly that on Sunday night, while Adam is away. It looks that good.
Why, Leah, those are LINAEUS BOOTIES, of course. Sheesh. It says so right there. LOL Wow... I LOVE Anthropologie. LOVE THEM. But I cannot explain away those boots. Err... booties. Do you think the jingle?
Peeing. No. There's just no reason for it. ALTHOUGH, the boy & I would go in and pee while the other was safely hidden behind the shower curtain (except for that time we had the orange see-through shower curtain.) But, funny story... when we first started dating, I could see a shadow through the curtain when I was in the shower. And he would always come in and sit down to go to the bathroom before getting in the shower with me (we liked to conserve water and all.) Now, in my world, when I boy sits down in the bathroom, that means one thing and one thing only. I thought, "Wow. That's comfort." So finally, months later I mentioned it, in a fit of giggles. Embarrassed the hell out of him - he was horrified to realize what I was thinking. No, turns out he just didn't want to be rude or something. I'm still not sure what his thinking was. Though he claims sometimes guys get lazy and don't feel like standing up, too. Regardless: let that be a lesson to you boys.
PS Funny you talk about asparagus and peeing in the same post.
Bubble wrap. On the internet. Now I can die happy.
do you cook the asparagus first or does the baking cook it?
i love the bubble wrap.
if you are my husband, you will not come in the bathroom when i'm using it because all functions will cease to work and will not commence until you shut the door, or i shut if for you.
No peeing in public, lovah or no.
No peeing OR pooping in front of an SO, thankyouverymuch. Some things are better left... mysterious, shall we say.
OMG OMG OMG, LEAH, if you like internet bubble wrap, go to www.jacksonpollock.org. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
(sorry I yelled, I'm really hyper today)
And, p.s., I don't hate the booties. They could be cute with a few modifications.
