And Starring as Florence Nightingale
{before sunrise} I’m pretty much in a state of suspended animation over here. See, that’s what happens when The Husband gets sick. All else stops.

Oh, is it Valentine's Day?
I’m a little grouchy. Today is not Valentine’s Day in my house. The Husband is working late tonight so we’ve postponed Valentine’s Day to Friday, which I actually like, because Friday beats the crumpets out of Tuesday hands down, but still, it’s all a little blah over here.

Food Whore: The Origin
You know how I’m always going on about The Husband’s insatiable appetite for food (usually for icky things like raw beef, tongue, and brains) and refer to him as Food Whore like here, here, here, and here? Well, here’s my little food whore at the beginning… {evidential proof} … two years old, clutching a croissant…
