Today Emily "Deave" Deaver, who is staying with me for the week while she works at the Biola music camp, made the most amazing feta-cheese, spinach and tomato scramble using none other than my cage-free vegetarian eggs. We would like to thank Heather Fedbetter for truly feeding us better. I would also like to thank Trader Joe's for providing the spinach, tomatoes and cheese. It was a meal of complete organic GREATNESS:
we're happy cause we're healthy!
Last night, Deave and I-- after returning from a frozen yogurt run-- sat in Deave's car by her friend Song's house, waiting patiently for the boys to arrive for a much anticipated Nerts tournament. If you don't know what Nerts is, well then, you are missing out on the best and most addicting card game ever. Deave, Song, David Burrows and I played for a grand total of 3 hours before we finally stopped with Deave in the lead with 400 points. Not to worry, I was only a few points behind her. Poor Burrows was at a grand total of -67. But that's ok, he was a good sport about it.
Anyway, while Deave and I were waiting in the car, relishing our sugar free, fat free strawberry banana yogurt, we started talking about the guys that we admire. Unfortunately, these guys were fictional characters, a discussion brought on by my unashamed crush on Christian Bale as Batman and...Harry Potter. Deave started naming the men in her life--Gilbert Blythe (from "Anne of Green Gables"), Rochester (from "Jane Eyre"), Heathcliff (from "Withering Heights") and Lord Peter Wimsey (from the series "Gaudy Night" by Dorothy Sayers) and to this list I added Mr. Darcy, from Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." After a moment of silence, Deave and I realized that we were gushing about men that don't exist. Here we were, sitting in her car, eating frozen yogurt, giggling about fictitious men! It's funny, yes, but SO SAD! But funny. Really funny. As Amy Kuney sang in her song, "Love is Trippy" we're "overdressed, undersexed, starved for a yes, or maybe always tired of being ignored..."
we're really not that desperate. we're just girls. I blame it on the frozen yogurt and Christian Bale.

Hi, I found your blog post through a search for “Nerts”. It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association.
