Sometimes the only tv I can watch is the PBS channel; Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot, and especially anything from the Victorian or Edwardian Era. If it’s British, chances are I’ll like it.
It wasn't pretty

Chopping Butternut Squash →
bonniecakes:
Tonight I was tasked with chopping an enormous butternut squash for a vegetarian chili at work tomorrow. I had no idea where to even begin, but this link helped tremendously!
Ahhh pealing the squash before cutting into it probably is safer. Well now maybe I won’t feel like I’m taking my life in my hands every time I cut up butternut squash.

Everywhere I look, I see big heads...
I’ve spent most of the day at work and a big part of my evening googling wigs for extra large heads. I’ve learned a lot about alopecia and transgender tonight, but I still haven’t found a wig for a 24 inch head. I don’t want to disappoint my client but he’s got a big head. The search continues.

This has got to stop
I used to have this attitude ( I think I still do) that if I couldn’t have the $3000 couch, then I would sit on a box. Basically if I can’t have the best,or if it isn’t perfect, then I walk away from the situation and block my mind from even thinking about it. This is where books come in, it’s a great escape. It explains why I have hardly any decoration / pictures on the...

This morning in Maine:
Mom: We have to leave now because you were irresponsible and didn't put any gas in the car. We're on empty, Becky, EMPTY.
Me: Oops. I love you! You want a hug? Let me hug you.
Mom: No.
Me: Let me hug you.
Mom: NO, BECKY, NO.
*After 5 minutes of silence and driving in a snow storm*
Me: (singing) Have I ever tolllllld you you're my heeeerrrroooooooo.
Mom: ................You're lucky you're funny.
Becky, you forgot to mention the crazy lady with her floppy hood crossing the road just a few feet in front of us with her equally floppy dog, and me almost mowing them over with my car. I can't believe I had just said out loud that I thought she had a death wish, and then she steps right out in front of us....gah

to say to someone is SO HARD when your brain isn’t working.

Watching “The Tourist”.
I"m walking on sunshine...
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for days. I’m hoping this isn’t some kind of weird symptom of a brain tumor. I kid, I kid.
Watched the indie movie Win Win. It was the perfect feel good movie.

On my way to work, I drove behind 3 pygmy goats stuffed in the back of a Subaru Outback. On the turnpike! Six eyeballs staring at me for 15 minutes. I was excited when I thought they were dogs in the back of the car. Can you imagine how tickled I was to discover they were cute little goats with floppy ears? Their stare was so intense, it felt like I would get some kind of message from them at any...
I love my job
however, I cringe every time my boss refers to myself and my coworkers as her girls. I hear her talking to customers, venders, and her friends; saying,” my girls this, my girls that…” Seriously, this silently puts me over the edge. The “girls” consist of my mother who is 77 years old, another coworker who is 64 years old and I’m 52 years old. I’m going to...
