Some collected random thoughts

  • Ina Garten made something vegan today. No really!
  • To the companion animal that keeps puking on my bed: please do that on the hardwood floors in the future. kthx
  • According to Paula Deen, fish “has no fat.” Um, okay.
  • So far, this election has been far more entertaining than I’d imagined. I’m not looking forward to Tuesday when it’ll probably narrow down to two.
  • They’ve made this whole blog customization crap way too easy. Why I remember when templates were so simple and bare that you had to fiddle with ’em forever to get them to look reasonable. Now it’s just grab, upload, activate. Select widgets. Done. I haven’t touched the code at all this evening. I’m getting soft.

Why Publix is better than Kroger

I had to pick up a few things at the grocery store and was seriously dreading it. Christmas Eve? What the hell was I thinking? So I bop up to the Publix at East Lake. I get the last cart. Oh no. That can’t be good. I grab my shit, head for a line, and they have all the lanes open. Walk right up, plop my stuff down, and head out. Home to back home in 20 minutes. If I had gone to Kroger I’d have probably been there half the day. Hell, that’s the case on a non-holiday.

Tag, you’re it!

What, there are internet memes that don’t involve cats? Huh, who knew? Leigh tagged me, so I best make with the writey writey.

Rules:
#1 Players must list one fact, word, or tidbit that is somehow relevant to their life for each letter of your first or middle name.
#2 When you are tagged you need to write your own post containing your first or middle name game facts, word, or tidbit.
#3 At the end of your post choose one person for each letter of your name to tag. Don’t forget to leave a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
#4 If I’ve tagged YOU (the bloggers that I’ve tagged are listed at the end), please join in on the fun!

I have Lived on the East and West coasts, but never in between.

Over the years I’ve gravitated towards eating healthier and healthier. No, being vegan isn’t enough. I mean, Oreos are vegan. Well, most of them anyway. So a year or so ago I started carrying a piece of fruit to work to eat with lunch or as one of my snacks. I like lots of different fruit, but for portability, sturdiness and flavor my favorite is an Apple. After a summer of apples being so-so, the new crop of Galas from Pennsylvania are in and they are perfect. Crisp and sweet.

I’m really fond of Underwear with silly characters on them. When I was a kid, I was too old for them when Underoos came out. But my brother had them. The Hulk, Spiderman, and I think there were even Batman ones that had a cape attached to the t-shirt. Or maybe I dreamed the cape part. That would have been really cool though. Right now, all I’ve got are Muppet panties. Oscar the Grouch (for when I’m feeling trashy *duck*), Elmo, and the Cookie Monster. If I ever come across Tarepanda panties in a womanly ass size, I’ll probably let out a squeal that’ll shatter glasses for miles around and then pee myself. I mean, look at it!

I won’t Run unless I’m being chased, and maybe not even then.

Autumn is my favorite season. It’s going to be especially welcome this year. I’m so tired of the heat.

Hmmm…I sure don’t have five people I’d feel comfortable asking to get all memey…so I’ll put it out as an open invitation to anyone reading this (all 3 of you) to keep it going in their blog, or toss the answers up in the comments.
