Does anyone else find it odd that Madonna tends to speak in a British accent more often than not? Maybe we should all start speaking in random accents throughout the day, just to see how it would go.
twinners
January 30, 2012
(Note: Neither of these are my car)
Do you ever run into your car’s twin? Do you have a “popular” enough of a car to run into your twin pretty often? Neither of the cars we own are in the category of “super popular” so it is rare for us to run into our cars’ twins. But we do see some twinners every now and again, and it always makes me a little excited. Like the cars knew each other in a previous life and are long-lost twins. I always feel like I should wave to the driver of the other car. I know, kind of weird, huh?

As you may already know, I’ve become somewhat of a fan of the Biggest Loser. I’ve posted before about my little addiction to this show, and how watching it makes me want to eat a big ol’ slice of chocolate cake. Well, last night I watched the season finale. To celebrate, I made a quadruple batch of cookies.
Ok, so the cookies weren’t all for me, they’re mostly for a cookie exchange. Graciela enjoyed “helping” by keeping herself busy in her exercauser. She is getting very good at reaching out to grab things so these days I don’t put her in the carrier anymore when I’m near the stove.
pumpkin
December 7, 2011
For the last month or so, I’ve been obsessed with pumpkin. Right after Halloween, when there were rumors of a possible pumpkin shortage, I bought 6 cans of pumpkin puree. Since that time, I’ve been making something with the pumpkin every couple of weeks. I’ve tried a couple of different pumpkin bars. I still haven’t found a recipe that I’m in love with. Now I’ve decided that I want pumpkin soup. Has anyone ever had pumpkin soup? Does that even exist? I just think it might be really good. Sort of like a tomato soup, but with pumpkin instead. Thoughts?
genius
November 30, 2011
Don’t you think genius should be spelled with a J? I think it should be. I obviously wasn’t an English major, otherwise I might actually know why genius is spelled with a G instead of a J. Anyways, this has nothing to do with spelling. What it does have to do with is an awesome idea I had this morning…which I’m willing to share with you as long as you’re willing to split the royalties with me when you become rich for making it happen.
You see, I put a load of my work clothes in the washing machine last night before I went to bed. This morning I put them in the dryer to dry while I showered and got ready. And if you’re anything like me, you probably love to wear warm clothes right out of the dryer on cold mornings. Then I had the idea: someone should invent a small capacity, energy efficient dryer. Each morning, you just pop in your outfit for the day, and 5 minutes later it would be nice and warm and ready to wear. That would put a smile on my face every morning.
Sadly, no such thing exists (at least not that I know of). So for now, I’ll just keep using my average-sized, non-energy efficient dryer that came ready to use with our rental.
flying in an airplane
November 28, 2011
Graciela’s first flight was a success. She guzzled down her bottle upon takeoff and then slept most of the rest of the way to Texas.
When she finally awoke, she enjoyed looking out the window to see the sights.
And gawking at the interesting sights on board.
Our way back to Las Vegas was pretty much the same. Looking out the window mesmerized by the flashing lights while we waited to take off:
I tried to give her a bottle when we took off, but she was so tired that she went right to sleep.
The flight attendant and I had to get creative to save her formula (once the bottle is opened you only have 1 hour to finish it or refrigerate otherwise it supposedly goes bad). So we used a motion sickness bag and ice to keep the bottle nice and cool.
Graciela woke up about 10 minutes before we landed, just in time to stare at all of the crazy people on the flight.
