Thoughts and stuff

Some housekeeping items and random musings today.

It occurs to me that high metabolisms are wasted on the young. 

You may notice that on the top of the right hand column, I have added something new entitled, What We’re Reading Now.  I have a lot of people asking me what I’m reading or to suggest an author or a new series.  So I figured I’d just keep you posted with what I’m reading right now.  I’ll keep it updated as I move through my mountain of books.  I may add the book blurb from the back as well.  I’ll mess around with it and see what I think.  Should I only list the romances that I’m reading or should I include the other genre’s as well?   We’ll see how it evolves.

It is completely and utterly unfair that the restaurant next to my work should smell like bacon and grilling steak every single night when I get off work.  There must be some sort of city ordinance about that.  I’m gonna check on it.

I had the boy at the doctor today.  The poor little dude has the worst allergies I’ve ever seen.  Usually seasonal allergies are manifested in runny noses and eyes, sore throats, congestion, etc.  That I’m used to.  But The Bandit, God bless his little soul, is a wreck.  After about 15 minutes playing outside, he’ll come in and his eyes will be damn near swollen shut.  They are puffy and miserable looking and colored sort of like a reddish bruise.  He literally looks like the losing boxer in a prize fight.  We went to the grocery store tonight with his left eye swollen and bruised.  I felt compelled to tell everyone it was allergies so they didn’t think he’d been beaten.

One more little thought.  I do not have time to teach people how to drive on the way to work.  People – you really need to just wait until 9:30 or 10:00 to leave your houses so that those of us who have places to go don’t have to drive around you like we’re on an obstacle course.

I’ve said my piece.
