Time Change

3 Nov

Maybe it’s just me, but daylight savings time really freaks me out.

The main trouble is that it almost always catches me off guard -before and after. I never realize it’s daylight savings time until the day before and after it happens, I get confused when it becomes dark at 5:30 p.m.

I’m sure it will just take my body a few days to adjust and then I’ll go into my winter mode.

Have you been affected by Daylight Savings Time?

PS: I’ll put some pictures from Halloween up at lunch today!

Quicksand Trap

21 Apr

It’s just your typical Tuesday here. The blueberry clan is stuck on a falling-down bridge overtop quicksand.

They were hiking through the oatmeal jungle when they saw what they thought was a “sturdy enough” bridge.

Two berries huddle together, scared and afraid.

There are two brave berries leading the clan, as they’ve just crossed the most dangerous part of the bridge: the evil “I.”

Unfortunately, one did not make it.

As they move forward, the bridge starts to sway and buckle under the pressure of the wind.

And then suddenly – a dust storm travels through.

Will they survive????

What is the most dangerous thing you’ve ever done?

I jumped off a bridge. It took me 20 minutes to actually jump but I did. It was on a camping trip with my family, and all my cousins were doing it. It wasn’t that far down, though at the time it seemed enormous. Now the water isn’t high enough for anyone to jump without hurting themselves.

 

 

PS: I think someone once asked if I was to ever publish a cookbook. After “cooking up” this morning’s story (both in my head last night and today), I’ve begun to realize that if I ever publish a cookbook – it will certainly not be traditional. I’m thinking 1) a children’s cookbook or 2) a footnoted recipe book (with backstories). I am actually working on a version of #2 this summer. We’ll see how it goes.

A Berry Good Time

20 Apr

Well, this looks like a berry good time.

4.20.09 003

What is it about that pun that makes me feel so excited and yet disgusted with myself? :) Anyway, there is a big ole’ party happening up in here this morning. It’s been going strong since last night, and no one looks tired.

4.20.09 006

I remember the days I used to dance the night away. Sigh. So jealous.

4.20.09 008

Nothing is keeping these berry friends from having fun – not even a little rain outside.

Do you like to dance? 

 

15-Minute Challenge

I meant to post the rules for the challenge yesterday but I got wrapped up in being offline and relaxing. I will be posting the official announcement about the challenge today, and we can officially get start tomorrow. But if you have 15 minutes during your work day, do something today :)
