The puppy has been collected from the airport and delivered unto Shane and LA. The puppy is very, very cute. Well, of course he is; he’s a puppy and he’s supposed to be cute, but by George, he lived up to expectations. :) Hopefully he’ll fit in with their household, but if not, hopefully we’ll find him a good home! Ted wanted to name him Porthos. He looks like a Porthos. I might suggest that to Shane. :)
an apple a day, anyone?
Ok, so I subscribe to Shape magazine, which often has interesting stuff that I faithfully ignore.

wet ears

I should be doing some writing, and I’ll probably get around to it in a while, but I’m, er. What am I doing? Oh. Looking for Shane’s phone number so I can call him to tell him when the puppy is coming in. *calls Shane* Hm. That particular bit of procrastination is now taken care of. Although…
pea soup
Boy, I just made an excellent batch of pea soup. Sadly, Ted doesn’t like pea soup, so he can’t appreciate its excellence, but I assure you, it’s really very good. I also made a less excellent batch of biscuits, which tasted perfectly fine, but which are a trifle flat. Darn it, you roll *pie* dough out very thin! O.O I did better with this batch of biscuits than the last, which were *very* thin. These ones were only somewhat thin, and the first several I punched out are more or…
