A bit of a blur, actually, but I&#8217;m really jazzed about the fact I washed all our bedding today. All. Of. It.  Actually, I had to stop washing the pillows, because the cheap ones were EXPLODING in the washing machine. It was like a horror movie, with pillows committing hari-kari and exploding their stuffins all over the place.  And then one load of pillows had PMS &#038; they retained a ton of water, so they&#8217;re drip-drying until they&#8217;re less waterlogged &#038; bitchy. After two pillow deaths &#038; two pillows in Time Out, I quit with washing the pillows. Damned dust mites. I had hopes of killing them ALL!!!!    <\/p>\n<p>I met my first real, live blogger (as in, a blogger I knew solely through blogs) yesterday &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/wildscorpy.com\/weblog.php\">Carrie<\/a> of Wild Scorpy was kind enough to drive in to North KC to meet me for lunch. Where else would we dine, but a thai restaurant? &#8220;Tasty Thai&#8221;, and she gets extra points for being so adventurous. I had not dined at the TT before, and it was a bit of a mixed bag, not knowing their food as :cough: well as I know Thai Place&#8217;s, Thai Orchid&#8217;s, Thai House&#8217;s, and Thai 2000&#8217;s&#8230;.. (sidenote, Kristin &#038; I saw another Thai restaurant downtown, it&#8217;s right next door to Bazookas. (titty bar) Swell!I probably won&#8217;t be going there anytime soon.)  Anyhoo, the food wasn&#8217;t as fantabulous as I&#8217;d hoped (spring rolls were made with really thick rice paper sheets, red curry wasn&#8217;t, well, <strong>red<\/strong>), and eventually, I&#8217;ll have to do a complete Kansas City Guide to Thai Food (<em>Not Located Next To Titty Bars<\/em>) &#8211; which will require further dining at Tasty Thai so as to provide a thorough analysis and report. All of that aside, meeting her was great fun &#038; it was surprising to realize that three hours had flashed by &#038; our legs were getting stiff from sitting so long! I will give Tasty Thai props for having a hilarious, festive delivery vehicle:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5985\/480\/1600\/thaiscion1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5985\/480\/320\/thaiscion1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>Oh, yes, I had to use the zoom:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5985\/480\/1600\/tthaiclose.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5985\/480\/320\/tthaiclose.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So thanks for driving down, Ms. Scorpy, it was a lot of fun &#038; we&#8217;ll have to do it again &#8211; but I swear, if we go back to Tasty Thai, I am buying this bigass pikachu &#8211; it&#8217;s a bank!
