"Au Bon Pain" literally means something like "Of the good bread" or "At the good bread."

But, you know, I like "Hey! Good Bread!" better.

Yes, because "pan" is bread in Spanish, I think "panis" is bread in Latin, and "pain" is bread in French (isn't it? I never took French, but always figured "Au Bon Pain" mean something like Hey! Good Bread!)

But those are all Romance languages, aren't they?

Gujarati and Hindi are derived from Sanskrit. I think Sanskrit was the original language in the Indian area, but I'm not certain. I mean, it's the language all the sacred texts are written in.

I never did think of the pan/paneer similarity. And while my initial reaction was that of course they're not related, they have different root language families, it just occurred to me that the word for name is naam. Maybe they're somewhat related. I'm sure I might have learned this stuff a few years ago, but I forgot.

Sanskrit is an Indo-European language, as is latin, parent of the romance languages. So it's certainly possible to have similarities in words.

Lunch will be a turkey sandwich...and Sun Chips!

This is what I had! Turkey on pita bread with tomato and cheddar sun chips.

This is why I have chapstick (or some other non-burny lip balm) stashed every place I could possibly need it. Purse, car, desk at work, bedside table, bathroom, pocket of 2 different coats.

One must always be prepared for a chapping emergency.

Teppy is me. Although I use Blistex Medicated. I've currently got five stashed in various places. Winter hates my lips.

Afternoon napping is achieved. I'm going to take a leisurely shower.

Benefit does a gorgeous lip balm - it comes with a second tube that exfoliates the dry horrible skin off the lips.

My taglines do not need announcing.

Hola.

Mine was turkey ham on wheat and original Sun Chips. Sun Chips are so good! And theoretically healthy in some sense of the word.

Well, better than regular chips, anyway. I don't like baked chips, so I try to buy Sun Chips every once in a while.

I usually do this, but all my stashes have been depleted and i hadn't replaced any. i rectified that just now at lunch. i used to be a mint Soft Lips girl, but they've stopped making the mint. so i've moved onto Blistex's mint.

I was surprised to find that Burt's Bees is like that -- it's like a mentholated cigarette for your lips. Very weird.

see...the mentholatum is what i'm addicted to. i love that stuff. i tried burt's bees, but i didn't really care for it all that much. i'm not really a fan of colored chapstick.

oh and i keep forgetting to mention that Owen is a total cutie-pie. jaedyn has started eating the food in the jars now. she loves it.

Does the cutiehead have any teeth, tiggy? The baby thing goes by too fast (as I've said a million times already).

Mine's not colored -- it's just plain. And I actually bought it at Border's. Impulse shopper -- that's me.
