no, I mean someone here asked, because I keep posting about what I am using up out of my pantry.

Ohhhh! Heh.

Something must smell really alluring in one of Anna's plants. Loki is hellbent on jumping the rail and while he didn't quite growl when I pulled him out of the pot, it was pretty close. I yelled at him and he whined.

Dinner was a mushroom, onion and ginger empanada and steamed skinny asparagus. Nom.

Mmmm. I've been eating a frozen pizza all day, and I'm going to regret that tomorrow when I don't have it anymore.

This is random: The guy who won the marathon yesterday set a new record. The guy who had the previous record? Same first and last names, and middle initial. No relation.

That is weird. It reminds me of high school when we had 2 kids (a few years older than I) who were both named "Jason Parker" with the same middle initial. So they were known as Jason Parker A and Jason Parker B. Jason Parker B was always in trouble and getting called to the office on the morning announcements.

I wonder if there are still morning announcements?

My dad went to school with a guy with the same first and last name, and one middle initial the same (my dad has 2 middle names.) The guy was a year younger. Even freakier, once he grew up, the guy bought the house right next to my grandparents, and they sorta became surrogate family (we gave his wife my grandmother's wedding ring when she died.)

I had the call-to-the-office mixup in middle school.

I'm assuming Cheruiyot is a common Kenyan last name...

There are still morning announcements.

The morning announcements thing also reminds me (I am from a small town, so bear with me) of a kid who got suspended because of a really clever "Toys for Tots" campaign. He got on the announcements, and played George Micheal's "I want your Sex", but before he got to the word "sex", they turned off the tape and said money and launched into an announcement about the Toys for Tots collection. He was a Coach's kid, so it was a big deal he got suspended.

A few years later, after graduating from college, he was substitute teaching for a biology class, got annoyed with the kids, and called them "little fuckers" and had to be escorted from the building by the Principal (also a coach).

The really funny thing is that they didn't seem to care about the English teacher who threw a chair at me or the Social Studies teacher who drank all day long!

Yeah, my dad's name is not uncommon at all in the swedish community.

There are still morning announcements.

I sort of imagined by now there would be morning video, or morning tweets or something!
