miscellaneous musings

Whilst I cooked two dinners tonight [productive!], random thoughts flitted through my head and each one seemed too profound to not share.  

First of all, lime juice makes my rocking world go round.  Especially since being pregnant.  However, every time I cook with it I just want a margarita.  Or a key lime pie.  Or to be somewhere classy in a drop-waisted silver dress adorned in sparkles and sequins drinking a gin and tonic.  And I don't even like gin and tonics.  But, oh they make me feel classy, and drop-waisty.

Next I would like to point out that there seem to be two schools of thought on tater tot casserole [hotdish if you're a true Minnesotan].  There's the green bean school and the corn school.  I say that segregation is not a part of my soul, so I combine the two.  However, I never, EVER add cheese to my tater tot casserole.  Not adding cheese to stuff is a part of my soul.

Let's visit next, the "to-do" list I made for the week.  It's a great and mighty list with lofty goals and easy goals.  I believe in adding super easy goals to my "to-do" lists in order to keep my spirits up.  For example "water plants" was one of my items.  I failed to do that last night [forgot] and felt helter skelter all day because of it.  Those puppies are watered now though and I can't wait to cross that off the list.  Also on the list was research my thoughts about vaccination for my infant and send it to Justin.  I did that, but still don't have a decision made?  Anyways, it got crossed off the list.  Also I added "set up doula appointment" because I did that, so ha, crossed off.

Which brings me to how I'm feeling pretty granola lately.  And saying that makes me really want granola.  Like, reeeeeally want it.  But I'm excited about this new, crunchy period of my life that is sure to be filled with cloth diapers, grassfed beef in my freezer [a half of a cow that I've lovingly named Betsy and cannot wait to tell the butcher just exactly how I want her prepared.  Sorry dear Bets...], and hopefully, a lovely little garden next summer from which I'll can and preserve the fruits and vegetables of my labor.  Baby just gave two solid kicks that I'm taking to mean as "I'll help, mom" and not "Screw gardening I'm afraid of bees!" which is something that I know about.  Hopefully they'll leave me alone.  

I should be switching my laundry because "laundry" is also on my list, and I'm unwilling to cross it off until it's done, but alas, that sounds like a lot of stairs.  Which leads me to point number 87 in my random blathering about things, when I build a house it's going to be awesome.  Main floor laundry is a must.  Also a three car garage.  Wow.  Those are really my only two necessary items.  Justin and I spent the whole weekend looking up floor plans and dreaming about someday.  Maybe someday.

I had to take a drug test today for my master's program that starts in January.

Taking drug tests makes me feel guilty.  Also, I offered too much urine.  You're welcome drug tester lady!

Am I absolutely crazy for starting my master's two months before my baby is due?  You know what?  Don't answer that.
