Oh for the love of all that\u2019s holy.<\/p>\n

I have the flu.<\/p>\n

And even more<\/i> unfortunately, if that\u2019s possible, this inane discussion over the relative status of my alcohol usage is still<\/i> raging<\/a>. Now the commenters have turned against each other, I guess because I decided not to get more involved, and then I decided to get involved again, and now I wish I had just taken a nap instead. Someone. Stop. The. Madness.<\/p>\n

Is it just me, or has the word \u201ccharitable\u201d become the \u201ctolerance\u201d of Catholic Blogistan? I\u2019m all for not being mean, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s particularly uncharitable to call a spade a spade.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So, in case you haven\u2019t guessed, this isn\u2019t going to be a real post.<\/p>\n

But I have a special surprise for you.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s the new Mumford and Sons song! Yay! It\u2019s lovely, of course, and amazing. I\u2019m in love with all of these guys. (I\u2019m also sorry about the tininess of the video. I can\u2019t figure out how to make it bigger.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very upset that the lead singer Marcus Mumford is dating Cary Mulligan. She doesn\u2019t seem like a particularly nice person to me. I\u2019m not really sure why. Maybe it\u2019s because the only thing I\u2019ve ever seen her in is Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and I blame every single person involved in the making of that movie for the waste of those hours of my life. It took Shia LeBeouf off my favorites list and put him only slightly above Tom Cruise. And that\u2019s a place no one wants to be.<\/p>\n

Has anyone spent the day drinking Theraflu? For the last two days I\u2019ve been alternating between nighttime theraflu at night and daytime theraflu during the day. I don\u2019t feel much better, but I am beginning to feel slightly manic.<\/p>\n

(Oh, and before I get accused of abusing medication, let me assure you that I have been taking the day-time twice a day and the nighttime only at night.)<\/p>\n

Speaking of accusations, healthily sanguine accused me of becoming a fondue glutton, and I have something to admit.<\/p>\n

My name is Calah, and I am addicted to cheese.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so serious. It\u2019s not normal. I love cheese. I love chevre, I love jarlsburg, I love emmentaler, I love Dubliner, I love gruyere, I love camembert, I love Stilton, I love Iberico, I love pecorino romano, I love parmesano-reggiano, I love mozarella, I love sharp cheddar. The only cheese I\u2019m not terribly fond of is Brie.<\/p>\n

I know this makes me kind of a heretic in the cheese world, but Brie doesn\u2019t taste like anything. I love Brie with<\/i> things, but on it\u2019s own it kind of just tastes like creamy rubber.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time Trader Joe\u2019s used to carry these little raspberry-and-Brie phyllo rolls, and the Ogre and I used to buy them for date nights. (And also every night in between. Shhhh.) They were heaven.<\/p>\n

Then Trader Joe\u2019s, in an act of foodie blasphemy, discontinued them. I tried to re-create them once but failed spectacularly. So if anyone has a recipe for such a culinary masterpiece, I will love you forever if you send it to me.<\/p>\n

If you send it to me, and I make it, and I love it, I might actually send you a cookie in return.<\/p>\n

How\u2019s that for gratitude?<\/p>\n

Okay, so all the five kids are playing in the front (gated) courtyard, and the oldest two were just discussing how they had to use the bathroom. Then Sienna said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we just use the bathroom in the grass so we don\u2019t have to go inside?\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so proud.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Is that enough random information to slap together and call a blog post?<\/p>\n

Methinks it is.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
