Busybusybusy
The days are flying by and I find myself needing more hours in the day to start books, finish books, try out a recipe, watch some new DVDs, workout,see friends,work on projects,upload finished projects...what the hell am I doing? I'm seemingly always busy yet nothing gets done.
This is how it always seems to be after Daylight Savings Time-Spring forward. I don't quite get a handle on things until August. Don't know if it's just that I am more ambitious this time of year or if it is some perception that time is just whizzing by because I lost an hour weeks ago. One accomplishment that didn't drag on for weeks was the changing of the seasonal wardrobe. I will say, I am proud of how efficiently my new system worked this year.
I'm too busy to do anything really new. Aside from falling in love with the Turkey Reuben at Billy's, nothing really new is up, yet nothing old is hanging around either.
Updates:
Since my posting of the filthy buses the #5 has really shaped up. Bravo. (Hope I didn't jinx it by updating you on this). It's really spiffy, no odors and clean windows. Even the floor looks like it had a scrubbing. I must add there are some awesome drivers: Randy on the #5 is the best bus driver in Austin! Professional, courteous, takes pride in his job, I've known him for almost six years now and everyone misses him when they switch the drivers around.
The heirloom roses did arrive blooming and are in the backyard! I did wrap up the whole rose rustler research/interest and returned six books to the library. Now the obsession du jour is vintage kitchen textiles. Plenty of books out there on aprons, dish towels etc...Amazing what I will geek out on.
The garden is coming along. I'm still holding my breath.
Quite a few have emailed me regarding my opinion on VMUgreenurbandesnsity, I was pleasantly surprised with the response. For one, I had no idea I had that many readers who weren't friends or family, two: Everyone was in agreement. Really?! That's awesome. Thanks for tuning in and dropping a line.
Yes, I will come up with a cooler and more interesting recipe for the sidebar soon. I also received an email asking why I typed out the recipe for Chicken Burgandy and not something more Playboyish like Steak Diane. I will stay with this cookbook's recipes for awhile and try and choose more interesting dishes or at least something more "Bunny Dip" worthy. We are coming into drinks-by-the-pool season.
I put down the Schulz biography. After the first few chapters I found myself browsing and scanning it. I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. Schulz was brilliant with huge emotional issues. Reading the book, you felt like this man was living next door and you wanted to avoid eye contact when you saw him. This is to say Michaelis did an excellent job at making him all too real with all his baggage and issues, just tooooooooo real. As it turned out, I just would rather not know so much. Also, as someone who can relate to Charlie Brown, I just didn't want to keep going down that road and learning more about the man behind Failure Face.
