There's a place called Eat 'n' Park?
![]() Seems like it'd be better Park 'n' Eat. ![]() Less messy at least. The way they say it, it implies to me, that you're supposed to start eating before you are parked. |

SON OF A B!
I got another rejection this morning. At least this time it was quick. Less than 24 hrs. ![]() So--on to the next place. (But I may need pie now, for real.) |

![]() Things that don't make sense frustrate me. ![]() And I'm oddly reminded of a segment Adam Carolla used to do (maybe still does) about words that sound better than they are. (hang on, this relates back to pies )Like: Pie chart. Oh--I just found a #soundsbetterthanitis on Twitter. I'm gonna follow it for a bit, I bet there are some real gems. *prepares to be equally frustrated and entertained at the same time* |

If you're going to follow something on the Twitterverse, for sheer giggles today I recommend the Harry Potter boobs thing.
Juvenile, sure, but amusing.

My recommendation for the day is Gilbert Gottfried reading excerpts from 50 shades of Gray. Not safe for work, kids, etc!!!!

So, what I learned today...
No matter how chilled out I try to stay, and irrespective of where we go, I can't have a day out with Zoe without ending the day feeling shattered and with a headache. I really did try chilling out (big idea of going to the park and letting her run free, whilst thinking on edits to distract myself from her throwing herself about, is a failure). One of these days we are going to have a day that doesn't end with her trying to give me a massive coronary... In other news, I came away from the day with a stack of anime, so... YAY. ![]() I'm rewarding myself for not letting her break any bones on my watch.

My niece. I'm not allowed to simply leave her in the park when she isn't doing what I tell her, so I was kinda stuck with her all day... *curses bad luck*

*cuddles Gary and strokes his beard*
Kids are exhausting. You need to relax a bit now and try to smile for me. |
