Sitting at the computer, it occurs to me that I could get so much more done if I did not have to be at work. Some days, it is such a waste of time. I could be sewing, or cleaning, or cooking, or doing household tasks. Or, *gasp* do something fun, like play with the boy, or read, or just sit around.
:)
anyway, Thought I'd share.

Random food thoughts
I'm typing without a title today. I may add one later, but frankly, not sure what is going to come out of my mouth (well, fingertips). I'm peckish currently, but have no "snacks" to take care of me. May make some popcorn.
DID make a roast chicken for dinner. Threw some peeled, quartered russett potatoes under the bird. THey browned up very nicely, then I mashed them. Still, not really what I wanted. I think I wanted the creaminess of boiled white potatoes, nothing but starch and waste carbs. :) mmmm.
But the bird was well done. The joints just about fell apart. I was even able to actually carve the breasts for my husband (something I am never able to do ).
Really, Golden Corral? Your seafood is that great? something tells me that it is more on the lines of mediocre. But I'm fairly certain I won't get a chance to check that out anytime soon.
O.k. so, apparently this is a post on random food topics.
My friend Denise threw away mini snickers bars just because she was not supposed to eat sweets. (well, she is watching her weight for an upcoming reunion). That just hurts. Can't do that. (dieting for a reunion OR throwing away perfectly good snickers bars).
Anyway. On to stare futilely at the fridge.
I wish something would occur to me. . . .

Wendy
I have been thinking about having a blog, but really, does the world need one more person rambling on about the fantastic food they had last night, or what their adorable child accomplished this week?
No, probably not.
But then, all of these random thoughts started filling my head, and I had no one to share them with. So, thanks. You get to be the willing recipients of the random flotsam and jetsam (jetsom?) that fills my days.
And today, the randomness picks my friend Wendy.
According to her latest facebook post, Wendy is feeling the woe that is being a single woman. Many, many of us can sympathize, having been there, done that.
Several of the remarks to her post are disbelieving that she would have difficulty finding "a boyfriend".
I have no difficulty believing this.
You see, Wendy is a very attractive woman.
She currently works in a field that is populated with "attractive" women.
If that were it, she'd be set.
But Wendy is also smart. Not only that, but she is intelligent.
That is what is making finding "a boyfriend" difficult for her (imho).
She has that unenviable task of finding a quality guy who appreciates the outer beauty, relishes the inner beauty, accepts her intelligence, and allows her to be her while treating her as a special person.
I'm not going to get on a soap box (although I could, no one can stop me!!)
(Insert evil laugh here)
but, it just occurred to me.
