Hands with new and improved foot-scent

We are watching Good Eats and the episode is all about squid. Which is hilarious, for my love is Squidy. Which if you google image search… well it didn’t work this time, but it used to be the only things that would show up would be pictures of the robot creature bad things from the Matrix.

This morning, we got groceries delivered. We use those plastic bags as our trash bags, and when we get the groceries delivered we get a LOT of bags, so that’s what we do when we need bags. The woman who brought the stuff was irritating though. The order ALWAYS comes with a little comment to ENTER VIA THE EXTERNAL STAIRS because there are two doors on the right side of this building. Both of them are us. This lady brought all the stuff to the bottom door and then called me because I didn’t come to the door. Because I was waiting at the top door. So, not bad, I go downstairs and let her in. Then she tells me "new policy, we can’t carry things up stairs anymore" so she just left and I had to carry all the crap up the stairs. I got it in about 5 trips, I think. Man I hate stairs. I think they hate me too.

I made cookies this afternoon. Anzac biscuits. Yum yum. I really need a better recipe though, the one I use is not good for Sez. Always makes crisp crunchy cookies which I do not like. Other people enjoy though. The oven totally burned the cookies, so I had to trim all the edges off. Took a really awesome picture of the trimmings that was going to be my daily picture but I managed to accidentally delete it when trying to copy it to the computer. Ah well.

That’s my lovely bruise from the bathtub metal edge thingy. It’s a big lump too.

My JJ called this afternoon, so we had a lovely hour-long chat about all kinds of ridiculousness. It is so great to laugh like that. This entry, because of the title, is apparently a public service announcement. I had been scratching my foot so my hand smelled like foot. This was determined to be a good thing, having a hand smelling different than just… hand, because – and I quote – "How will people get on in life if they don’t know what their hands smell like?!"

And you can only know what your hands smell like if they have, at some point, smelled like something else!

There was also discussion about a koala mafia that will hunt you down for eucalyptus and eucalyptus-scented things. Which reminded me of an incredibly creepy koala figurine thing I have…

Is this not incredibly creepy? Look at that grin, it haunts me!

Right next to this koala, hidden in the top of my wardrobe, is a weird smores tree decoration…

Marshamallows enjoy eating steak, it seems.

This evening, the reason for baking the cookies, we went mini golfing. Kerry came over just after 6 so we could follow her there. It was a very difficult course. We got onto the road we live on, travelled straight down for 20 minutes, and tada we were there.

I finally get it! The Good Eats episode where they do the ‘behind the scenes’ but not and it ends with a giant red thing picking someone off the ground and high into the air… I hadn’t seen this episode before so I now I know why they did that. Heh. Oops, I went off topic.

So yes, we mini golfed. My beginner’s luck did not work, unfortunately. Was still a lot of fun. I love that it is right there too, I think Jake and I will be going back. Jake even got his ball in the bucket on the 19th course so he won some free icecream.

We had dinner afterwards, at about 8:30. I had a bit of cookie dough for breakfast (as I was baking, it is irresistable!) and a little thing of raspberry yogurt in the afternoon because I knew we were gaming before eating… but it felt like my first food of the day. I had a crispy chicken wrap with honey dijon dressing. The dressing came in a little side cup so I could have as little as I wanted, and the chicken was hot and crisp while the lettuce and tomato was nice and cold. It was such a lovely wrap. Jake got us large drinks which were… kinda cinema-size. They were crazy-big. So drinking that entire thing and eating so much after eating so little, my stomach hurt when we got home. Dancing in the car on the way home started that. Yow.

Was such a lovely time with friends. We sat around at the little diner that is attached to the mini golf and just chatted about all sorts of random stuff for what felt like ages. Well, in those sorts of sitautions I don’t chat, I just listen unless someone asks me something directly, but I still enjoy it. Food wasn’t allowed on the course, so I didn’t share the cookies until we were done with dinner. Everyone took one cookie, but pregnant Michele got about 6. Although that was because I handed her a pile. I love when people love my baked goods, makes me happy.

I don’t know when we are next going to all get together. Kerry and Mel are both starting school at the end of the month so they will be further away, and busy. Otherwise I would have suggested game night be here next time. Eventually.

It is so late and I am so full and so sleepy. Jake has been sleeping on the couch since before I started this entry. I guess we should go to the bed place.
