well now you can have some affordable parsons chairs to call your own...
right now MiNTY has these beauties for just $250 for the pair!
you: shutyourface!!!
me: no really!!
why so low?
well they will need some new upholstery.
but relax...
i got that all picked out for you....
take your pick!
painterly black and white swirls? $18 a yard.
graphic and worldly pink and orange? $18 a yard.
purple ikat? $18 a yard.
BOOM!
awesome chairs.
or if you don't want to bother yourself with upholstery
there is ONE parsons chair available at MiNTY that honestly needs nothing but a new home..
handsome parsons chair- $350
here's an idea...
yes.
sort of obsessed with that paint color.
who's with me?
thanks donkeys.
my back felt better.
so i cooked.
such a rookie move.
but LOOK AT THE DELICIOUS FOOD WE ATE!!!
in season, fresh dover sole..
flour, salt, pepper.
brown butter..
sauteed then finished with lemon zest and juice.
hardcore.
grilled cabbage and yellow squash with a spicy thai vinaigrette.
so flavorful.
it was honestly the best part and i could have eaten just it.
wild blackberries growing on the side of my house.
tossed in some sugar, flour and vanilla.
butter crumbles.
flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and one stick of butter.
nestled on top of the berries, ready for cooking.
375 for 45 minutes.
last 5 minutes brolied for crispness...
caramelized goodness.
it was like one of those crisp, lacey cookies on top with a buttery, gooey vanilla ooze underneath.
and the tang of the tart berry mixed in made it so perfectly balanced.
just add vanilla ice cream.
i want to float down a river of ice cream.
me and my diarrhea dairy tendencies meant only one spoonful of the stuff.
but it was just enough to creamify everything in my mouth.
it was heaven.
OH!
and we watched the 1st and 2nd episodes of game of thrones!
or as i like to call it
game of incest and butt sex.
do you watch?
there are a lot of boobs.
clearly we haven't gotten past the 13yo boy phase of this show.
every scene mike and i are just about to touch our privates...
but then someone gets their head cut off and their intestines gutted.
it's awesome.
(i made up the crisp recipe so if you want specifics just holla in the comments section- it's gluten free but you would just swap out GF for AP if you wanted it the regular way)
sorry guys. this post is going to disappoint (what else is new?)...
but
i am for real laid up like a donkey who got kicked by a donkey.
i have been having some back issues (upper middle if you're wonderin) since about december.
they come and go.
worse after a work out..
anyway..
i have been living with it just fine (i mean it sucks but it's been manageable)
until today.
MOTHERFUCK!
i woke up and thought..this is it.
i am going to die today.
i drove myself to the end of the street to a chiropractor.
seriously he is right at the end of my street.
after some poking and prodding..
he tells me i have subluxation or some such thing.
and cervical misalignment.
go figure.
that's what pushing out a 9 pounder shoulders first will do to you.
i got to go for a ride on a table that moved me back and forth over a massager which was awesome.
if i had turned over it would have been REALLY awesome.
and i got cracked and popped and stretched (a little less awesome).
i was better for about 10 minutes.
now it just feels the same if not worse.
i have to go back for an x ray on monday and am supposed to take it easy all weekend.
gee...darn.
so all this to tell you that i have nothing to post.
except go make these shorts:
bc they are just too cute not to.
anyone else have back issues that they care to share?
any tricks i need to know about?
and remedies that work for you?
and did the chiropractor do his thing? i mean is it supposed to get worse before it gets better?
appreciate ya.
have a great weekend.
fartluxation,
i'm more than a little excited about the return of the jersey housewives.
how i have missed this fucking clown parade.
we are starting off in such SUCH a good place (terrible place)...
there is double leopard in one shot.
there is the worst apology in the history of apologies.
there is italian menopause.
"we fight big and we make up big"
let's hope they "menopause big".
there are bejewelled monokinis.
and thigh-ginas.
there is talk of a "gorgasm".
i know SOMEONE who jizzed in her pants a little.
there are wolves.
ashley has lohanized herself.
and they're sending her to vegas to live with relatives.
who wants to take bets that she's hustlin at the bunny ranch in less than a week after arrival?
in all seriousness....this is the ONE story line on this show that disturbs me the most..
what 20 year old is not out partying every single night?
sweet jesus!
i was putting money in fat ladies' garters at the clairmont lounge and doin' blow off a hooker's ass in the bathroom.
don't send her away.
she'll grow out of it.
she just needs a hug and to work out some of her anger.
too much emphasis is being put on her "bad ways"..on NATIONAL TELEVISION!
bunny ranch.
and finally..
more rosie please.
rosie is a no nonsense lady licker and i love her.
in fact, let ashley stay with rosie for a spell.
