<p>It’s quiet in the Alley. Too quiet. where are all the Sinners?</p>
<p>Doing our taxes.</p>
<p>Ha! Did them, did them!</p>
<p>But I need to vent about Mathson. I’ve asked him every day this week to sign up for the accepted students days at the various colleges. Nag, nag, nag. I do my part, which is figuring out how to get to RPI and Carnegie Mellon is the same weekend. (Do you know it cost $150 to fly round trip to Pittsburgh - a seven hour drive, and $700 more if you try to fly to make a stop in Albany a two and half hour drive away?) Long story short, I buy tickets to Pittsburgh for the sleeping bag weekend and he comes down tonight to tell me they won’t let him sign up because its booked up. Of course it’s now too late to find out from the admissions office if he can attend and just spend the night in a hotel, but today is last day I can cancel tickets. Finally left it that he made reservations for another time which would involve missing two days of school and more inconvenience for his parents and we wouldn’t cancel tickets, but he owes us plane ticket money if he can’t go as we had originally planned. Maybe, maybe he got a lesson in why procrastinating is not such a hot idea?</p>
<p>Aaaaaaaaaarggghhhh!!! I am not in the Alley because I am in Boston. Touring colleges. Again!</p>
<p>Kill me now.</p>
<p>Had a martini for dinner. Not helping. However, S is adorable despite over-commitment to televised sports.</p>
<p>Cannot bring myself to tour Harvard. Could maybe be brought to have dinner in Cambridge. Anyone know if SA has a sister bar over there?</p>
<p>Would someone please tell me to proofread my posts occasionally? I can’t believe how mangled that one became!</p>
<p>Mathmon, </p>
<p>Please, Please, Please, proofread your posts occasionally!! :)</p>
<p>Forget dinner, just go shopping in Cambridge.</p>
<p>OK, someone send me a ripe banana, asap! I was all set to make a nice tender Passover banana cake when I discovered my DD had eaten the ripe banana that I was saving. Those green ones over there just won’t cut it!</p>
<p>Her excuse? “It looked too ripe to eat, so I ate it.” Future martyr, like her mom. ;)</p>
<p>hahahaha mommusic!
Want a great recipe forPassover rolls/popovers instead? I mad a double batch yesterday and they are almost all gone!</p>
<p>(and they don’t need bananas)</p>
<p>Use chicken fat instead of bananas. It’s easy… ;)</p>
<p>thats gross, p2n.</p>
<p>I take it back, p2n. THIS IS GROSS!!!

<p>Yep. Yuck. How on earth did you find that?</p>
<p>p2n-
It was actually on the front news screen for my good ol’ AOL account. Lovely news item, eh? I started a separate thread about it, since we prefer to talk about marmots in SA, not rats.</p>
<p>What is the alley doing way down here on the second page?</p>
<p>I’m thinking of changing my name…Getting tired of weenie. What do you think???</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Well if you can bear to lose the 2811 post record, I’d go for it. weenie sounds well… weenie to me. :)</p>
<p>Weenie reminds me of a little witch in some children’s book. Can’t remember the story but I’m sure there was a “Weenie Witch” in there. Cute but maybe you’re ready for something more…mature?</p>
<p>DD & her DH left and the house is empty again, except for the Boy Still At Home, who is so non-demanding he hardly counts. It’s been a fun weekend/couple of days. Lurching from meal to meal, basically. </p>
<p>Now we look forward to the two college boys coming home in…about a month! :)</p>
<p>My college roomate 30 years ago called and still calls me weenie. But she is from Texas, so when she gets on the phone she says what sounds like, “Waynieeee!” So I love the name:).</p>
<p>perhaps you could change to “the artist formerly known as weenie”…?</p>
<p>Yes, or perhaps one of the smilies?</p>
