eee1313This was the view out my window all yesterday and today. I'm glad I snapped the pic when I did, because not two minutes later the balloon guys came and deflated the gorilla. Right now it lays in a pink heap on the lawn, looking like the aftermath of Glenda the Good Witch being melted.

In other news, the Scientist called, and we have a new bed! This is wonderful news, my friends. I've been sleeping on the same mattress since approximately 1999. Before it was my mattress it was briefly slept on by my parents, who deemed it unworthy and shunned it to the guest room. The mattress is so old and worn-in that there are literally trenches down both sides of the bed where people's bodies have laid. (Lain? I can never remember.) Anyway, there was a good deal on mattresses on Black Friday, so we put in the order.
So the Scientist called to say it had arrived, and his brother D helped him move it upstairs, and it is all set up with clean sheets and new pillows and I CANNOT WAIT to sleep on it tonight. You have no idea. I made little gleeful noises into the phone, I am so excited.

Last night I was so tired, I had a dream about sleeping. No fooling.

I have decided that Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network is the most dangerous show on TV. All the food looks delicious and disgusting at the same time. They'll have crazy food like a giant buttermilk pancake wrapped around a bacon cheeseburger with country gravy and more cheese on top. (Imaginary, but similiar to the food found on the show.) I'll watch it and think "Who thinks up these recipes?" and "That would cause a heart attack in two minutes flat" and then "OMG SO HUNGRY I WANT TO EAT IT ALL."
A while ago I saw that Cemitas Puebla in Humboldt Park was on the show. I really, really want to check this place out now. Anyone else interested in hitting it up sometime?
And great, now I am hungry.
That is all.
