Insomniac Ramblings, Pt. 1

I can't sleep so instead I am watching Unwrapped on Food Network.

Did you know that Pringles are made from potato flakes? They press them together with some other stuff into these sheets that resemble well, kind of a wonton skin almost but not quite and then cut them into shape with some special top secret doo-hickey. The whole process kinda made me gag.

Dudes, now there's a guy who has so much Planter's peanut memorabilia crap that he must be single. Whistles, soap, baby rattles, costumes, rings, purses, watches, belts, oh my. Poor Mr. Peanut.

Beer nuts contain no beer. What a let down.

Sorry you wasted your time, maybe I bored you to sleep?

For Ashley, updated

The song immediately popped into my head and now it is stuck. The horror! I almost bought this for you.

Okay, about 4 or 5 months ago late one night Ashley and I were flipping through the channels and came across a tv show on PBS called Ferrets: The Pursuit of Excellence. It featured several ferret owners and followed them in daily life showcasing how they care for their "fuzzies". The woman in the video below managed to sing through 2/3 of the hour long special. If you happen to catch the special on your local PBS station I highly suggest that you sit down and watch it, I guarantee you that if nothing else it will bring a few full belly laughs and a bit of, uh, enlightenment your way.

I am no longer fearful of becoming an elderly cat lady I now fear becoming a ferret lady...

You Are Here

But I haven't been.

My e-mail responses have been sorely lacking as well, which in all actuality might be nothing new.

Must work on the above.

Java Grumbles

It's about 9PM on Sunday night and I just realized that I drank the entire pot of coffee by myself. My coffee maker brews 12 cups if you make a full pot. I made a full pot. Also, out of coffee beans. Send help.

Wait, did you hear that noise?? That would be my stomach. Somewhere in that 12 cups of coffee I forgot to eat. I managed to make a loaf of french bread but I didn't actually eat any. But I did feed the kids so I should get points for that.

Grumbles! I got a new laptop for Christmas from my Mom and Pete and Tim but that isn't my grumble, that part makes me very happy. It's shiny and new and it doesn't get hot. I have been working on it since 11AM and my legs don't have burn marks like they did with the Vaio, it's a video card and sound thing don't ask. However, there seems to be a huge error between the keyboard and the chair. Yeah, that would be the user. ME! Someone needs to disable the darn user function on this thing. Or read the manual.

Or go scrounge through the freezer for hidden coffee beans. Surely another cup or two will get me through the rest of this work.

There used to be this little coffee bean shop in Redlands, CA right on a corner off of State Street, Tammie is it still there? They had the best selection of beans. Is 1185 miles too far to travel for coffee beans?

Playing Catch Up

The holidays are over, the girls are back in school and the snow has melted. I guess that means I have to get my ass butt in gear and get my shit act together. Can't I have just one more day to stick my head in the sand?

Please?

Was I supposed to be watching my mouth in 2009? Shit. Shoot.
