Oh dear, a meme. I’ll get that out of the way first, and I blame skorzy and atara for it:
Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you’re interested in/curious about – it can be anything from the house I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life!
Please note that it may take a few days to get to all of the requests (if there are any), but I’ll do my darnedest to accommodate them all. Now, I reserves the right to interpret any and all requests however I like, though 😉
Now that that’s out of the way…Yesterday was rather busy. I slipped out from work a little early (considering I get into work each day 20-30 minutes early, this is no big deal) and ran up to Lovin’ Oven Cakery to pick up some tasty stuff for a certain panda’s birthday. On the way, I got a call the my new glasses were ready, so I stopped by the opticians in Grayslake (navigating through the weekly Farmer’s Market) to get them, then raced home and did some last-minute cleaning. Dan got home a little late (he’d had to drive in due to a little problem that Metra had), and were then joined by steviemaxwell, magicpaw, midwestcougar, nymphara and her new squeeze, Nick, and roho and genet. While the crowd played a couple of rounds of poker, I busied myself grilling up a multitude of brats and hot dogs and hamburgers. Everyone had a good bit of fun, and Dan had fun making appletinis. Genet and I elected to chat while everyone else played games, and that was fine – I wasn’t much in a poker mood. For dessert we had a couple of monstrous éclairs that we cut up for serving, as well a couple different kinds of strudel. Yummy! We didn’t get to bed until after 11 PM, though, and both Dan and I are dragging a bit today as a result.
Not much going on today, though I do have my annual checkup with my doctor right after work today. Tomorrow we’ll be heading up to Antioch to stock up on some important items for Anthrocon, and I may see about taking Dan’s car in for emissions testing as well.
The upstairs rooms, I only know what your living room and kitchen looks like (and the garage)
I second that!

Normally, I can tell within reason who is writing the entry I’m reading just by what it’s about and I don’t have to look at the userpic or the username.
Until I reached that sentence I knew it was you or . That sentence caused me to stop and read it again. I read that you were cooking small, annoying children on the first try. The second got the intended meaning, though I had to actually look at the username to make sure I was right.
*headdesk*
I want to see a picture of your favorite local restaurant.
Your front yard!
your favorite meal to make at home,[and the recipe too].
I’ll make sure next time to be out the door by 10. 😉
Here’s a suggestion for your meme: take a picture of any random interesting thing you just happen to experience.
