Nancy is right.

On two accounts, really. One, that it is my birthday. And two, that I haven't written in a long while. I could give the tired excuse of being busy (which is legitimate, really), but I won't.

I will, however, share a quote with you that fell from J's lips this morning after I'd opened up my shiny, new belgium waffle maker and we were flipping through the accompanying catalog.

I wouldn't buy an espresso machine with a coffee maker attached. I don't buy connected appliances. If one breaks then it's just like having a dead baby twin stuck to your head.
