Blanche: What a waste, Rose Nylund in New York!

Rose: [to Dorothy] It’s going to be a great trip, you wait and see. You’re going to be cured, and I’m going to get to see the Big Potato!

[Blanche gives Dorothy a "See?" look]

Dorothy: I said she was comforting, I didn’t say she was smart. -Golden Girls

This past week Travel Girl, Match’s sister, was in town visiting from Peru. We spent the majority of our time at Match’s parents spending time with his sis and the fam, and also their newest addition to the family, an adorable standard poodle puppy.

Phoebe: So, how was the honeymoon?

Monica: Oh, so much fun. But the best part is we met this incredible couple on the flight back.

Phoebe: That was the best part? [To Chandler] Good honeymooning, Tiger. -Friends

Last weekend I finally started to feel like myself. My stupid rash was almost gone, and Match and I had the whole weekend off together which we spent with some of the different couple friends we have. Saturday we drove to the East Bay with Couple Wife and Baby to cheer Couple Hubby on as he competed in Autocross Nationals. For those of you who don’t know, Autocross is car racing around a track set up by cones in a giant parking lot. It’s actually much more fun to watch than Nascar where they just drive in circles. The track has lots of corners and sometimes the cars spin out. Match was in little boy heaven watching all the nice cars and getting to stand with the guys between runs.Meanwhile, I was in Auntie heaven playing with Couple Baby who is cute as a button. Oh, and Couple Hubby won! Yay!  Also, Couple Wife was back to her old self, and I think Match was right when he said she was just having an “off day”. (more…)

Eric: Man, I thought my brother and I had problems. But you two are morons.
Cristina: Okay, well, swallowing Monopoly pieces wasn’t exactly a genius move. You could’ve really hurt yourself.
Eric: Well, I didn’t did I? Now my mom’s gonna make my brother let me play Monopoly all I want.
Cristina: And that makes you smart?
Eric: You’re fishing through my poop. How smart are you? -Grey’s Anatomy

Sunday night Match and I joined Drama Chick and B for an old fashioned game of Monopoly. The last time I played I ended up beating Match pretty badly. So he was happy as could be when I made a poor deal with him and he wound up monopolizing on Board Walk and Park Place and basically screwing the rest of us. It was fun to joke around and talk smack to each other while dealing with our fake money. If only we could pass go in real life. Sigh. (more…)

Couldn’t you just eat him?

Bart: What’s THAT extra B for?

Homer: That’s a typo.

Last weekend our camping trip was canceled because DC was busy with graduation plans. It was all for the best since Memorial Weekend was sure to be way too crowded at the lake. Match and I made the best of his rare full weekend off, and spent the weekend outdoors bbqing and hanging with friends. I got a great tan, and we both enjoyed each other’s company. (more…)
