Sometimes I have exciting things to post, and sometimes I don't. This post falls into the latter category, but it seemed necessary to document the fact that I can (sometimes) cook. Last night, after Tara and I went to see Easy A (which was actually quite funny, though not on a par with Mean Girls), I came home and decided I'd make pesto sauce. I got some basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, and cheese, and lugged my gigantic hand-me-down food processor out of the cabinet. It turned out pretty well, if I do say:

Normally we put skulls on the porch posts, but we decided to postpone it temporarily and left them on the couch. Then this happened:



As you can see, Bobby and I are eating well and the cats are resting comfortably among the skulls. I'll be spending the rest of the evening cleaning my house, as this is set to be a busy week for me. When is it not a busy week for me?
