My mother cooked a great deal of variety growing up, but when I was left to my own devices it was repetitive and never healthy. Now that I'm grown, it's a battle between the two.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Since I'm home most of the time now, I'm getting more variety in my meals, because it's something to do. When I was working I'd make something (soup, chili, lasagna, etc.) that I could take for lunch all week.
Today's lunch is zucchini frittata, part 2 of 4. Tomorrow we are doing a salad bar potluck for our department meeting, so I've got lunches for the week covered.
Baby rock hyraxes. So cute.
Plus, the story about the five capybaras born in Berlin makes me wonder if eohippus had multiple births rather than singletons. (Because I think that the representations of early horses look alot like capybaras.)
Person, if I ask you to do a thing and you don't do the thing, then I can't have an update for you on the thing because of the thing you did not do.
Unless you were trying to get me to do the thing for you, in which case, bravo.
Just discovered an adult woman with the name Merica. Like America without the A. Who names their kid that?

ION, let me just say: getting a migraine on top of a cold is almost the exact literal definition of adding insult to injury. Boo. My head hurts in so many ways now. And I have no voice.
Timelies all!
Going out to dinner tonight with Gary's mom to celebrate our anniversary.
I am a silly person, but -- I just printed out good feedback from my boss on an edited manuscript (just 1 page, where she wrote "NICE!" [the ASSCAPS and exclamation point are hers] next to a particularly tricky passage).
I am going to hang it on the fridge. Tim said he thinks he has gold stars somewhere to stick on it. (If he *does* have gold stars, I don't understand why I haven't been getting them all along. Bake scones? Gold star! Leave you the last scone because I know you love them? Gold star! Not kill your father on vacation? HUGE GOLD STAR, baby.)
In term of eating the same thing. I eat basically the same thing for breakfast every day - greens with chicken, cheese and "fixings" (chopped celery, radish, carrot & green onion). Dressing: cider vinegar and eggless mayo sweetened with splenda, and spiced with garlic and black pepper. Greens are either carrot greens & beet greens I get for free or spinach when I have to buy greens.
Lunch alternates between a pudding made with peanut butter & plain nonfat greek yogurt sweeted with splenda with an apple for desert or plain non-fat yogurt with chopped apple and peanuts again sweeted with peanuts. So essentially the same lunch with alternating textures.
Dinner varies.
