Nonsense . . .

Trying to put on eyeliner when you have the hiccups does not produce a pretty portrait of female art. You’re more than likely going to poke your eye out …I know this from experience.

One of Kara’s favorite thoughts/quotes is “stand in the wind and eat peanut brittle” from the book Stand in the Wind by Jean Little. A quote I seem to live by is “stand in the kitchen and eat everything” from the book Self Control: Where is it? by Kimber Jo.

If you cut your finger while slicing onions it hurts twice as bad . . the cut and the onion juice in the cut. Also from experience.

Slicing up onions, peppers, celery, and carrots and washing and cutting greens ahead of time is a great idea for easy prep, healthy meals and on the go snacks . . . unless you never pull them out of the fridge again. Then they just mold and go limp.

Watching The Biggest Loser does not shed any pounds off the viewers, particularly me. The Firm slowly brings results while providing the wanna be health nut (me, once again) with sore buns.

Feeding a 6 month old only milk and fresh bananas brings on a smelly case of painful constipation. Switching out the bananas for this years pear crop does cure the constipation . . all over clothes, blankets and baby. At least he was smiling when he did it, unlike the squealing pushing that had been taking place.

If the power goes out during the night for a couple of hours and you don’t have a flashlight with working batteries on hand, take it as a reminder to be prepared for the power to go out. If the power goes out 3 nights in a row and you still don’t have a flashlight with working batteries, you’ve completely failed the emergency preparedness prep course. (We are ready for tonight!)

I let Erika go to Kara’s house for the week. What was I thinking?? I wanna go to Kara’s house for a week!

I wish my biography could be titled “Life of a Jogger: the inspiring woman who jogged her way to good health while keeping her life in balance and order”. Unfortunately it will probably be “Life of a Blogger: the humdrum woman who sat on her duff recording all the nonsense that crossed her mind while her family waited for dinner”.

Well at least by blogging you are keeping a detailed record of the humdrum...and someday your kids and grandkids will be entertained for hours by it.

So I say forget the jogging and keep blogging...it will make me feel better about choosing to sit and share rather than work out.

I'm sure glad you Blog

Makes me feel like everybody is closer.

Unfortunately what I like doesn't matter. If you feel you have to choose between the two...do what makes you feel the best.

With that being said I hope you don't have to choose...

LOL - I love it. Nonsense is great - especially after a long day of moving stuff around. Being tired makes everything funnier. Thanks for the giggles.

I loved this blog. You are so funny. Course it's usually in retrospect that you find some of these things funny. Frustrated and crazy while in them.

I'm feeling the same way about food and working out. How does anyone make time to do it, it's so boring and hard. Two things I try and avoid at all costs.

What would the world be like without Another Day Done.
