wait: have I done a random post lately?
Youngest requested Milky Way bars from the big box store last weekend. I haven't had a Milky Way in a very long time. I am surprised and pleased to report that I can really taste the caramel and that it offsets the chocolate nicely. However, I still don't really know what nougat is.

A really long time ago, K worked with a camera guy that he was especially fond of. That guy directs Scrubs now. This tickles me. He was a good guy too - you know, that's my highest compliment, to call some one a "good guy." This guy? Was always a good guy.
**********************************************************************
Scrubs is, I'm noticing right now, a very sweet/funny/endearing show. I have long maintained that Zach Braff and Middle are very much alike in many ways...though Middle would call bullshit on that, I'm pretty sure other people in our family would agree.
***********************************************************************
I got my hair cut last week, at a new, more convenient location. It's been a shock to my system, this haircut. It is very very VERY short and was, for about 4 hours, very white. I've since colored it and decided that I need to calm down already with the short hair as it is pretty severe looking and I need to soften up. A bit. I think.
*************************************************************************
Two things about work:
1. We got bonuses this week. Unheard of in these economic times, upper management (read: my boss) have made smart financial decisions and shared the benefits of being smart with the employees.
2. After having lunch with a group of work friends whose company I enjoy, I gave up my blog address. Am feeling very shy about this whole blogging thing of late as new friends read me.
*************************************************************************
Dinner Friday: guacamole and chips, red wine, M&M's.
*************************************************************************
Still kind of reeling over the fact that both of us are gainfully employed and Middle got into college.

Be nice. Don't make me come out there from California and pelt you with organic produce.
Cheers et regards,

I have not had a Milky way in a long time either, not sure what nougat is either, not sure I want to know :)
I just got a bonus, too - and a certificate for an Ipod Touch as another bonus.
Is it just me or do I feel like I am tempting fate with this economic good fortune right now??
i think this is some extraordinarily well-deserved goos stuff for Chez Blackbird.
i'm so happy for you!
We've never recovered from having to forego our "Marathon" bars in favour of the US "Snickers" you see...all one and the same, but somehow, when that familar name disappears, the taste and associations go with it. After all, when everything becomes the same, what exotic things will be left for us to bring home from the USA?
"Starbursts"? Nah....They'll always be "Opal Fruits" here....
So glad all is well chez Blackbird: Congrats to Middle on his college place and to Mr Bird too. Nice to hear that good things are happening to good people in spite of everything else!!
I don't want to turn into one of those people who always posts their word verification word, but seriously? effinaph. Effin' aph. I don't even KNOW, man.
A bonus is a rare and wonderous thing. Like found bills in the laundry. Enjoy!

ps. I just got my [white] hair cut short too. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
I'm such a word nerd.
AND - wonderful things happen to wonderful people.
Enough said.

My twin sister has very short hair.
Why can't I?
Answer:
Because with short hair, I look like a handsome, strapping young man. That's why.
Just noticed my word verif. and am very offended:
YERANL.
As in, YER ANL.
That's just rude.
Congratulations on all of your happiness.
