Holy Roman Empire

Remember like 1,000 years ago when Saturday Night Live used to have that running skit with Mike Myers (I think) dressed up as the older Jewish lady? He would mention some kind of a topic and then say, "Talk amongst ya selves..."

Well, there was one that we used to mimic in high school. He said, "The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire..."

That's how Lit Society was last night.

You know the drill; it's all about the book and the food. Well, I hadn't read the book (what, with reading 4 novels the last 2 weeks - not kidding) and we weren't planning on going all out with the food. So, it was an unusual, but much needed, night!

I say we weren't planning to go all out with the food, but then this happened. A lobster pasta that I basically double fisted into my mouth within 5 minutes. This is what Chef Campo calls "whipping something up." Really? To me, whipping something up involves a call to Papa John's.

Thanks to a recipe from A-Peep, I brought the bomb of all desserts. A chocolate chip cookie crust, topped with double stuffed Oreos, topped with a dark chocolate brownie. It's elastic waistband all the time around here.

We talked a bit about the book (the review must wait 1,000 years until I have the time to read it) and mostly just caught up. My life is not all that manageable right now, and I needed a sanity check from my peeps. Things are good, just a bit out of control, and the Type A's don't like it when things get out of control. The Type A's want to reel it back in and force it into submission. And life just doesn't work that way.

Anyhoo, is this the cutest little bun bun you've ever seen or what?

Also? The weather has been magnificent lately. Like, in the 60's and 70's. It has felt like spring and has been super sunny. I think it's supposed to snow today or something. Because, you know, it's Denver.

OK, time to chug my coffee and go do the writing consultant thing. I'm so tired, I want to be like, "Here's the thing. I'm going to nap under the table while you write an introductory paragraph, OK? Thanks."
