Not One of Jane's Better Days

Don't worry, Jane. Grandma Lane just wants to be absolutely certain that you know today is Grandparent’s Day! When the ringing in your ears stops, you should wish her a happy holiday. And then make a fast escape.

In fact, why not realize one of your most cherished dreams and celebrate TV Dinner Day by eating dinner alone! No need to wait until Thanksgiving; just stab the plastic, stick it in the microwave, and voila! The saddest meal ever invented is yours!

But How Will She Hear the Phone if the Vacuum's On?

Helen's stepping far, far out of character for Housewife's Day, but she can stick to housecleaning today. Jake's got the cooking covered for Men Make Dinner Day, although I'm not sure anyone is going to be pleased with the results.

Fortunately for the whole Morgendorffer family, it's also Sandwich Day. PBJ can be a good Plan B if they run out of frozen lasagna.

Quick, Someone Hide the Hot Sauce!

Sit back and let ol' Jakey take care of cooking tonight because it's National Men Make Dinner Day! On a side note, I'm pretty sure Pizza Prince delivers. Just in case you're not in the mood for Kitchen Sink Stew.

Roll Over, Shakespeare

William Shakespeare passed away 393 years ago today.

Something tells me that he would find this very amusing.

There's more Daria/Shakespeare crossover stuff out there, I'll track it down after dinner.

Okay, I've been fed.

To start with, there's KB's The Life and Death of Stacy III. There's also a bunch of stuff someone instigated here (I wouldn't know who). How about Midsummer Night's Dream? What kind of Shakespeare collection would it be without some version of Romeo and Juliet? Another light romantic comedy based on Much Ado About Nothing.

That should keep everyone reading for a while.
