Cooking and Kitchen Conundrums

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What disease did cured ham actually have?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

If we can have a self cleaning oven, why must it be such a process to defrost a freezer?

Please enlighten me..........

I'm Baaaaaa-ck!

Oh how I have missed my graceful friends!

Rorie is taking the laundry list of pre-reqs to one day get into nursing school...and urghh I was cooped up studying for my final exams. I had to steer clear of my vices/addictions that are myspace and Graceful Street...this took mucho discipline. I have not felt so disconnected in a while, but it was the studious thing to do.....and alas I am done with the semester and am 100% back on the Street!

Through exams, I kept wondering why DO I keep taking classes?...I would not have to study and stress over school fitting into my schedule...think of all of the free time...and, I already have a great job....but a dear friend reminded me of my underlying goal: Scrubs! Being able to wear scrubs to work everyday. What a joy that will bring me! And the schedule options are rather interesting. There are several aspects that greatly appeal to me. Oh and yeah, yeah the whole helping people thing too!

Anyway, I have become a career student, along with having a full time job....all I gotsta say is: Dear God am I glad I am not yet a mommy too!

Mean Reds

Mean Reds

You know those days when you've got the mean reds.... the blues are because you're getting fat or maybe it's been raining too long. You're sad, that's all. But the mean reds are horrible. You're afraid and you sweat like hell, but you don't know what you're afraid of. Except something bad is going to happen, only you don't know what it is.

~Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1958, spoken by the character Holly Golightly
