Thoughts before the Coffee kicks in
Apr. 27th, 2004 09:18 amCaroline slept in for her. Usually she is up anywhere from 6:30 to 7:30. She has been tending more to 6:30 recently. But this morning she didn’t make her wishes to be rescued from her crib known until 8:15. Which has put me behind in my coffee drinking.
We have had rain off and on for the past couple of days which has been fine. The grass and trees are turning green and the flowers are in full bloom. I give the daffodils about another week before they are done. After the yard dries our a bit I plan to start some yard work that needs done. I just need to reread the municipalities current rules for what to do with yard waste since they change from season to season.
The indoor cats have been trying to find a way out of the house. So far we have thwarted them but they are still trying. The outdoor cat has been going to the window that the indoor cats like to sit in and laugh at them.
I have an idea for a short story, a novella, and a novel. I am going to start on one of them by mid May. One is science fiction, one a thriller and one a fantasy. I have to finish an edit first and then I can get started.
Time passes sometimes without my noticing it. During the Gulf War, I knew people who where deployed. This time I know the parents of the people deployed. I say a prayer every day for our troops both here and on foreign soil. I hope that they can go back to their lives and be healthy and happy after this is all over.
The low carb/no carb crazy is driving me a bit around the bend. The previous phrase was “Lo(w) Fat/No Fat”. I had an argument with someone once that no fat didn’t mean no calories. In fact some no fat foods had more calories than the regular food. Now the same thing is happening with the carb craze. I read some of the packaging for these new low carb foods and I was appalled at the number of calories these foods contained along with all the chemicals. I try to limit the amount of artificial stuff in my food. I have had a bad reaction to every artificial sweetener that has been created. Diet Drinks make me hurl. I am not an organic foods eater either. I like Girl Scout Thin Mints and Oreos too much.
Ahhhhh...there goes the caffeine kick.
