I aso think that part of my problem with the Sookie STackhouse books is that I kept wanting it to star Sookie from Gilmore Girls instead.

I might hear her voice when I'm reading.

THAT's why I thought she was heavy!

:headdesk: My Dad want's to know why I would fan a page on Facebook titled "Intelligent, classy, well-educated women who say "F*ck" a lot."

Yes, I'm fortyla;lkereaw years old.

Actually the question was phrased, "your mother wants to know why you would join a group of intelligent women that say [complete silence] a lot?"

Me: Because it was funny?

THAT's why I thought she was heavy!

Hee!

Indiana dairy farm has cow manure bubbles that can be seen from space. [link]

Theresa, that's hilarious. The first place I saw that meme was on my high school chem teacher's status. Let 'em wrap their heads around that.

Had a whole lane all to myself for the entire mile and a half and cooldown. I love that.

I have four ear piercings. Two are little silver beaded hoops I basically never take out until made to (had to once for xrays or something.) If I'm leaving the house for anyplace other than the pool, I am wearing a second pair as well. Otherwise it's like forgot to put my bra on or something.

I got home from a long day at work firing people to find that my most excellent of husbands had gone grocery shopping and done all the laundry. Bliss.

That was sweet.

I'm cracking up over the school lunches thing. I pretty much had to bring my lunch, and oh how I lusted after the school lunch. And the thing was? It was crappy and gross. In high school, the main thing students ate were milkshakes, fries with "nacho" cheese sauce and burritos from the taco trucks that'd show up in the parking lot. If it wasn't Little Caesar's Pizza from some fundraiser. Grosses me out now (once I started driving, we either went to a friend's house or to Whataburger. I loved their grilled chicken sandwich.)

well tonight has been a failure to get house stuff done. had a call, then got sidetracked and there is no basement access after 8pm. So, instead, I am packing and have started the GREAT FOOD CLEAN OUT pre-travel ritual.

Tonight I used up 2 avocados, 1 container of leftovers, 3 items from the freezer for mac.

This clean out is also part of my larger focus to use up as much pantry food as possible in the next 3 months. We have recently made a pitcher of iced tea, a pitcher of fruit punch from a concentrate can, polished off a couple bags of chips, and used up the last of a bag of pasta.

Tomorrow I will take fruit with us for snacks throughout the day as well as some ziplock bags of chips and nilla wafers.

I'll pack more snacks like that for the plane ride and hopefully that will empty out a few things from the pantry.

DInner tomorrow will be whatever I can scrounge from the fridge, and I may actually cook some muffins tonight for breakfast the next 2 days.

What I really need to get focused on is making beans at least once a week once we get back from vacation. I have dried beans like woah.
