What a good idea! Is there anything tricky about them?

Nothing at all! I followed this recipe and used turkey bacon so they wouldn't be greasy. I was worried the eggs would be rubbery after reheating them, but they turned out great.

I wish I could persuade the kids to eat them because they are SO SO easy and after they come out of the freezer there is ZERO cleanup (other than tossing the paper towel).

Excellent! I've been afraid to try freezing and reheating eggs, I needed a testimonial that it's okay.

My sister does that. She uses the southwestern style eggbeaters to make it super easy and flavorful. Tasty.

Once again I am aggravated that my outfit has no pockets. I'm going to have to start carrying a reticule or something.

ETA: Or maybe I just need like a belt holster for my phone? I never thought of myself as a phone holster kind of person, but that would serve me well today.

We really should come up with an appropriate punishment for manufacturers of skirts, pants and dresses that lack pockets.

I woke up to a small dog burrowing into the kitchen cabinets. This is not a good sign.

Thank you for the Sweeney Todd earworm.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Home made breakfast burritos is a great idea. Thanks, Jessica. We usually just make them on the weekends, and/or for dinner.

DH got bagels on Sunday, so for this week I'm pretty set for breakfast, and for Franny's lunches. Speaking of! Franny goes on an overnight field trip this week to Catalina. My big girl!

I'm trying to figure out how to deal with a situation this morning that basically boils down to, "So nobody was paying attention to the presentation I gave on Thursday? Great."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The house sale is still on, and we're just having to eat the difference in the appraisal. It sucks, but there's basically nothing we can do.

So today, there's stuff I need to be doing, like chasing the guys who are making the repairs, and getting the realtor to answer questions. And I really, really just want to go back to bed.
