Honey badgers are nocturnal. They'll wake her up long before you can.

Beethoven wrote a nocturnal.  I think it was in D major or C badger or something like that.  Now you know the rest area of the story.

Yummies for the honey badger!

A great way to prepare quinoa:
Roasted Brussels sprouts & Quinoa w/ warm red onion vinaigrette

1# Brussels sprouts, shredded
4 tbs olive oil
Kosher salt
Black pepper
1c. Quinoa
1/2c. Diced red onion
2 tsp. Minced garlic
2 tsp. Red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 c. Freshly chopped parsley

Preheat oven to 450* and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Spread Brussels sprouts over pan, drizzle w/ olive oil and season with salt and pepper
Mix well and roast, 10 min.
Meanwhile, prepare quinoa according to package instructions and drain any excess liquid.
Add 2 tbs. olive oil and mix to coat evenly.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, toast quinoa until crispy (use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan if quinoa begins to stick), then transfer to a large bowl.
Return skillet to medium heat and add remaining 2 fbs. Olive oil, red onion, garlic and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for 3-4 minutes then whisk in vinegar and mustard.
Keep warm till ready to serve.
Add parsley, Brussels sprouts, and vinaigrette to quinoa.
Mix well and serve.

Made it! Now we are in some unknown location where Michelle followed a friendly lady into a small room and shut the door. I do believe they are conspiring against me.

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

I have nothing to worry about. Stephanie Laurel and Kendra Hardy are nowhere to be seen. Still can't tell who's on first.

Are you talking about me? I know that at this stage of my life "ball gag" fits the description but I'm not even there to annoy them.
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

I'm having fun with my house guest.  This afternoon I took Laurie out shopping.  First stop was Home Depot, where I needed to pick up a few locking door handles for a little project I'm working on.  Then, a quick stop at Trader Joe's to stock up on cheesecake and some delicious soft cheeses.   Finally, we stopped at Fry's Electronics where I picked up some very special equipment I'll be configuring and installing shortly.  Busy, busy...

We got home, and I fixed lunch and prepared a special treat for my LGBTQ social group, got dressed properly, and took Laurie in hand to head to our social meetup and shopping experience at a local botique.  The meetup went well, and much shopping was accomplished.  I've picked up more boots, a nice black dress with embroidered hem, and a lovely Calvin Klein black and white jumpsuit.  Laurie found some very nice jewelry items there, and one of the staff did a great job of distracting her during our group's planning session.  All approved of her, just as I though they would.

We went out for dinner afterward, where I plied her with far too many carbs.  We returned to my nest, and, while Laurie drowsed over her keyboard, I attended to a few tasks, installing the new locks on room doors and secreting the keys away in a safe place. 

It has been a busy, fun day, after a wonderful several days entertaining my gracious guest.  I'll have her all tucked in, all safe and ever so secure in just a little while.  Oh, yes.  Ever so...

I meant to ask you about the LGBTQ social group meetings yesterday, oh well. 
I'm glad you had a good time with Laurie today.   Please give her a hug for me before she leaves.

My house guest is well on her way home now.  I was absolutely delighted to share a few days of my life with @Laurie.  She just kept insisting that I do whatever I would usually do, and tagged along, so that is more or less what we did.

During her brief stay, we went shopping, did a few walks around town, cooked some meals at my place and enjoyed dining together, had a nice day visiting with @Jessica, visited my therapist, and even attended a Unitarian Universalist service!  Laurie very patiently got through an entire service on patience.

I'll head north this summer and we will meet up again at Astoria Pride.  :)

Thank you, Laurie, for coming all this way and sharing my life for a few days.

Be well.

How could I not come visit you, Michelle?  You have invited me so many times trying to help me through  this or rather these problems I have only to be turned down over and over because I could not.  Now that I can it is only right that I do so.  I am paying back a little of the debts I have accrued to so many here on Susan's.  People like yourself,  Tessa,  Kendra, Tia, St((ep)(h)ani)e, Faith,Sephirah, Liz, Cindy, and so many other friends I've worried that care about me.
  It was my pleasure to share a bit of your life and Jessica's too.

Thank you,
   Laurie

It was pure joy that I experienced from spending the day with the two of you.  You both showed me so much caring and love.  I hope to go to the Astoria pride day too.
