Easiest – Thursday’s Tattle

Posted on June 24, 2004 | Leave a comment

What is the easiest thing to make for breakfast? Alpha-bits would be the easiest, except that there seems to be a shortage in the Detroit area these days (I’m not kidding and I like a bigger breakfast. Generally I make bacon, eggs and cantaloupe and I’ve got the timing down (shower on, bacon on stove, shower, flip bacon, get ready, bacon in oven on plate, egg in pan, cut cantaloupe, get ready a little more, flip egg, pour juice, get napkins & silverware, get egg and eat!) so it’s pretty easy.
What is the easiest thing to make for lunch? Bratwurst (on the grill).
What is the easiest thing to make for dinner? Steak and veggies. One on the grill while the other is in the microwave.
What is the easiset thing to clean? Dishes (dish washer)
What is the easiest errand to run? Grocery shopping, I’m generally pretty quick.
What is the easiest thing to fold? Sheets – they just get rumpled it and shoved in the closet.

The best laid plans…

Posted on June 23, 2004 | 1 comment

So my plan was to leave the car overnight. But they insisted they could do it in a half-hour. It’s been at least an hour and the phone rings. Guess what!?! You got it! They can’t get it done tonight. So that means I call Mark back up after he followed me out there and have him come back and pick me back up and take me home (like I should have done an hour ago…)

My car…

Posted on June 23, 2004 | Leave a comment

So I got the car back today, most of it is fixed but now it’s in getting the remote start fixed. It was nice driving it for a little bit today, I missed it, I missed having the roof down, it’s been great weather most of the time I’ve had it in the shop. So now I’m at Border’s checking out the MetroTimes and my mail and such. Hopefully they’ll get it finished or I’ll have to get someone to come get me. I had a ride and the plan was to leave it, but they say they can get it done…

It was great!

igstill200406The Indigo Girls, as usual were excellent, I’m glad I got out there, problems and all. Fun people to chat with on all sides of me. Good sound at the theater (used to be Freedom Hill). Not very busy though and they didn’t play Romeo & Juliet, but they rarely do any more….

Here is a short clip from the concert 8MB. All the stills I tried were really cruddy.

Me passing guy with snack that made me ask “is that a chocolate chip cookie sandwich? From Melting Moments!?!” (In the Detroit area? This is an East Lansing delicacy.) He said “Yes”! I am a VERY happy camper. Yum!

Indigo Girls – Part Deux

Posted on June 22, 2004 | Leave a comment

Here I am at the Indigo Girls concert after a wretched car ride in rush hour AND running out of gas near the world’s loooongest exit ramp.

I am now in the the eleventh row dead center!!! Can’t complain too much about that (other than when I called earlier, they had row 2!).

After some pizza and a few large ‘beverages’, I’m relaxed and ready for thls boy band to finish up and for Emily & Amy to come out.

And cross your fingers for me that she’ll play R & J for me…
