02. It is possible for your mouth to be so cold that you can't speak properly. Related: standing outside for the US Pond Hockey Championships might not be worth losing the ability to speak. There are only few things that make losing the ability to speak worthwhile, like transforming from a mermaid to a girl because gosh darnit you're ready to know what the people know.
02a. Hearing songs from The Little Mermaid at a piano bar on a Wednesday night will ensure that you have The Little Mermaid on the brain until at LEAST Sunday.
04. The League is just as funny as everyone says it is. If you like characters you're not quite sure you respect, and profanity. Which I absolutely do.
05. If you try one thing that's floating around Pinterest right now, it should be this:
20 pages is all I could do with that book. Oy.
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes about The League. I reference it daily. :) and walk across a frozen lake is on my to-do list this winter!
ReplyDeletedying with the ketchup approach. bahahaha. you can't even be angry about your selection when he lays it out like that. I will admit, those funky, fancy house made "sweet" ketchups that places sometimes try to serve me? NUH UH. bring me da heinz.
ReplyDeletehaha Y HATES that, too! He refuses to eat at a restaurant I love (Wiseacre, in Tangletown) because they tried to serve him curry ketchup.
DeleteYou will cry throughout the whole book. But keep going.
ReplyDeleteSince reading it, mine listen to the "Light Classical" station. And I talk to them out loud even more. And people think I'm crazier than ever.
Oh no... I don't know if it's possible for me to talk out loud/sing to Ike more than I already do!
Deletehaha that ketchup logic is wonderful. I agree 100%!
ReplyDeleteHuh - I was always 100% a Heniz girl until I tried Trader Joe's and decided it would be a worthy replacement. They get me every time with their samples... And you two are so cute bundled up, even if you can't talk right. Also, Katie is right - keep going, but get the kleenex ready for the end. I loved Enzo.
ReplyDeleteI'm pressing on! Maybe the crying will keep me warm..
DeleteAlso, Y strategically put the ketchup in the refrigerator, then left it out uncapped so it would get "ruined" by his food safety standards, and we'd have to buy more. So I didn't even get to try it!
DeleteI love TJ's ketchup! Did Y even try it? I think you should do a blind taste test. :)
ReplyDeleteHe tried it, and said it was "disgusting"
DeleteI'm dying about the ketchup, and I agree that you should do a blind taste test. Maybe buy some walmart brand too just to really mess with him!
ReplyDeleteOh. Yes. The Art of Racing in the Rain. It made me SOB. Moka now watched Too Cute or listens to NPR when I leave the house.
ReplyDeleteI love The League too. Hilarious. And I love that diagram. You can tell he's in medicine.
