Life before 2008 26 Jul 2005 05:04 am
Random thoughts from a Tuesday morning.
The coffee was good this morning. That’s always a good sign! We’re off to pick blueberries in a bit with some new friends from church, and have what we need for pie making later.
Sounds in my kitchen after dark: Rowan, The Baby Who Does Not Sleep Well, was up for his 11pm ritual and David was walking him in the darkened kitchen, trying to convince him that nursing was not what he really wanted to do. Anyone who knows Rowan will know the sucess rate of this effort on a typical evening! I heard David singing….
“Hush little baby, don’t you cry, daddy’s gonna by you a roller rink.
And if that roller rink’s not flat, Daddy’s gonna buy you a baseball bat.
And if that baseball bat gets cracked, Daddy’s gonna buy you a racing track.”
A little unorthodox to be sure but it must have worked because stinker-butt went to sleep until 5 am!
David-dear is in his car this morning *alone*. The sales manager is kicking him out on his own after a whopping 6 days of training. How’s that for confidence! And guess where he’s headed?? MAINARDVILLE! (for those of you who don’t get the signifigance of that, David’s longtime nickname in the Sandstrom family is Mainard). Well, no more car sickness, though I’m asking for prayers. Last night in family worship, while we were all confessing one sin during prayertime, David’s was “disreguard for traffic laws”. Hmmmmmm…some things probably shouldn’t be said in front of one’s wife.
To those of you who think I made too much of a deal over a little peach, let me suggest that this is just evidence that you have been abusing your tastebuds for too long on fiberous and dry peaches. Life is too short, loved ones. I could go into the “why’s” of seasonal/local eating, and probably will one day since I love to crawl up upon my various soapboxes ad nauseum, but for now consider the thought that if you don’t get as much simple pleasure from the magnificent world of food, that perhaps it’s not just that I’m wierd or exaggerating….perhaps it’s the food you’ve been eating.
Not saying I’m not weird…but you already knew that ‘eh? “Lick a peach, it tastes like a peach! Lick a snauzberry and it tastes like a snauzberry!” Edible wallpaper, my peach was not. (name that movie)
