Scattered

Just a few random thoughts and observations…

• Everyone’s bringing in their surplus cherry tomatoes from their gardens and they’re very sweet.
• Speaking of produce, I really hate that Costco’s not carrying bags of frozen mango anymore. Now it’s a “mixed fruit” blend of melon, two kinds of peaches, strawberries and blueberries. Not a mango in sight.
• Speaking of Costco, have you ever noticed how you’ll get really attached to something they carry and then then it just up and disappears? Like mushroom-stuffed ravioli and popcorn shrimp.
• Autumn and I are having pirogies for dinner tonight. I’m dropping my class so I can stay home and have potato-stuffed pasta with my daughter. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me.
• Nathan will not be having pirogies because Ryan talked him into a bowling league on Thursdays. That’s kinda also sorta another reason why I’m dropping Thursday’s class.
• Autumn totally surprised me yesterday in the toy aisle of Target by repeating the word “ba pak” over and over and I realized she was actually saying “backpack.” Thank you, Dora.
• Yesterday I also found out she knows the word “hot dog.” Or is that technically two words?
• The real reason I’m dropping Thursday’s class is because I’m lazy and cannot possibly take time to learn stuff when “Heroes” and “The Six-Million Dollar Woman” start this week. I also miss my daughter and would rather have her kiss me good-night on the cheek instead of having to kiss the phone.
