The Pain Of Popcorn

Every once in awhile I get a hankering for some popcorn.  It isn't very often and when I do desire some most of the time I just move on without fulfilling this particular craving.  There is a reason for this I realized today.  When I get a hankering for popcorn and actually partake in its crunchy goodness I inevitably regret my decision.  I hate pulling popcorn kernels out of my teeth the remainder of the day.  It doesn't even matter if I vigorously brush my teeth (which I did this evening), because inevitably there will always be that remaining popcorn kernel that lingers and lingers to be found in my teeth at a later time.  I know that you have all experienced this because I cannot be the only one to have dealt with this annoyance.  Oh the woes the can strike when eating popcorn (this line was delivered with my hand on my forehead in my most tragic pose with my most tragic voice....could you hear it).

Boom Baby

To begin with, yes, I know this picture is sideways!  With all the advances and technologies out there I just couldn't figure out how to flip it the right way.  I work in IT now and I still struggle, but whatever.  The main point is that I completed this crazy puzzle!  It only took me a month, but I did it.  Many a night those puzzle pieces lay jumbled together taunting me in my inability to place them in the correct places, but not tonight.  Tonight I conquered!  Tonight I reigned supreme!  Tonight I did it!  I know that I will just end up pulling this masterpiece apart to be stored in its flimsy box back at my neighbors house, but for now it lies completed in all its glory to proclaim to all my amazingness!

Toothpaste

As I sit here on my bed gazing at my computer screen I intermittently brush my teeth as I contemplate life.  I love brushing my teeth.  I'm not overly zealous and brush my teeth every moment of everyday, but when I do it is an enjoyable experience.  Just the feeling of clean teeth is a benefit, but the fresh minty taste that accompanies my toothpaste makes it all worthwhile.  Whoever created the minty burst that comes across my taste-buds from my toothpaste should be commended.  They have brightened many a tooth brushing moment.

Fall Is Coming

I can feel it!  Fall is on its way.  It may be a couple days or weeks away, but its going to be here soon.  The crispness in the air will be available to me as the wind blows in.  The beauty of the changing leaves will be outside my window before I know it.  Oh, I love the the change of the seasons.  Fall will always be my favorite.

Taking A Day Off

I finally took a Friday off.  Wow!  I almost don't know what to do with myself.  I may have every other Friday off from my job, but I usually go and work at a previous job that is kind enough to let me show up randomly to earn a little extra cash.  Not today!  Today I am going to have a me day.  A day all to myself in which I don't have any structure or obligations.  I may need to be a little tighter on my budget these next 2 weeks, but it is so worth it.

Rain On My Face

As I do everyday I was sitting outside under a pinetree during my lunch break.  I decided to lay down for a moment and just feel the world around me.  I focused on the breeze, the rustling of the leaves, and the commotion of all the people moving by.  Out of nowhere I feel moisture drip onto my face.  First one, then two, then multiple more.  I could have jumped up and ran for shelter, but I wanted to just lay there and feel the rain on my face.

Let The Games Begin

So...I have put off buying groceries ALL week.  I just have not had the desire to go shopping for food.  I am becoming very adequate at living off of very little.  I used to have cans of food that continually remained in my cupboards as food storage, but lately those cans have actually been used as real food stuff (can I call canned food real food stuff).  The only problem with living this way is that eventually I run out of all things that are eatable and I HAVE to to buy something that can be used to sustain life.  Here in comes my dilemma.   I am VERY VERY bored of what I have been eating.  Every time I go to the grocery store I inevitably end up purchasing the exact same things.  Why, you might ask?  Because it is cheap and doesn't take much thought or time.  As I have mentioned before I am more than capable of preparing food and some may even say that I have a talent in the field of cooking, but when it is just you it is easier to not put forth the effort.  Now I come to the point of all of this.  I have decided that in my need to go to the store tonight I will purchase nothing (yes, is said nothing) that I normally buy.  This could very well be the most exciting shopping trip of my life if not at least my day.  Who knows what I will come back with.  Cross your fingers and your toes that this works out for me and let the games begin.
