I am crushed. It’s a sad, sad day… my staple (besides yogurt), my Imperial Edamame Beans are no longer sold at Sam’s Club. My 4 lb box containing 8 perfect sized bowls of podded beans is nowhere to be found.
Seriously, at 99 cals & about 8 gms of protein, they were the ideal snack-a-rooni. Now what? I used to get about 4 boxes a month. Dagnabbit.
Oh well. I shall survive… just barely, but I’ll try.
On another note – Windows 7. Mumsy bought a new pc and other than setting up the basics, I could have played with the new OS much much longer! Very cool at first glance. I don’t know about from a working standpoint, but the shininess and newness was pretty slick. Personally, I won’t convert until I get a new pc entirely. I’ll be due in about 6 mths or so. Just the tower. The memory available now blows my mind. And I thought I was pretty hot stuff 3 yrs ago with 4 megs of RAM… ahhh, technology.
And finally – painting colors & my prints. Since we’re remodeling Jennie’s old room into a guest room, I am once again tormented by what color to paint the walls. Seems pretty cut n’ dried – all neutral-ish except for one wall. The main “gallery” wall that I plan on hanging my Shag prints. I think I have 3 or 4 (yes, you know me & prints), but with all of the vibrant colors that he uses, I’m trying to remember which ones I have and of which “color scheme” they are. Actually, I think I have an orangey-pink-red one as well as an all-around blue, teal, greenish one, so I think it will be pretty much a crap shoot what color I paint the wall. Maybe a limey-but-not-blinding greenish… it’s a very bright room… we shall see. I’ll surprise us, k?
Alritey, time to make the donuts… OH, and if I don’t see you, have a marvelous Thanksgiving!!
Oooo, ooo, I just had a blinding idea—literally! One of my office windows is above me and to the right, facing west. In the afternoon, the sun gets pretty bright (and hot) when it’s directly on top of me. Sooo, what I thought would be really cool(er) is to hang some sort of beaded curtain… one that would still let the air blow around & in & out, as well as allow the light in, just not blinding sun beams in my face (yes, I know I may be deserving of the ethereal glow/halo, but it does get pretty warm).
Since our kitchen was remodeled, and now the rest of the house, I have been the model 50s housewife. Well, let’s just say that I clean now. More so than I have for the last 10 yrs. Heck, more so than when my daughter was a baby… when I was a stay-at-home mom. When I was still a guilty Catholic. I’m proud of myself. My home is really clean. Except for one little drawer. No, not really a junk drawer as I knew it before. But it’s still my dirty little secret. It’s where I store my coffee bags before I grind the beans. In fact, hubby actually gets peeved when there’s some coffee dust in the corners of the drawer.
