The Lesser of Two Evils

2011-01-05T17:37:33-05:00

Bad breath or bad BO- what's worse?

The lesser of two evils: body odor or bad breath? Gotta be the breath, because it's the easier one to fix, unless we're talking about a chronic situation.

I wear loungewear when I get home.

While I don't necessarily put on pajamas after work, I do change my entire outfit into something I feel comfortable walking outside in and at the same time moving and laying around the house in comfort. I call it 'loungewear'.

First job nostalgia

2011-01-05T17:27:24-05:00

My first job ever presented itself to me from the hospitality industry. I purposely sought this out, as opposed to a vey public retail experience. I actually had a friend who already worked in an area hotel, and after she went over her hours and the nature of the job with me then I was pretty interested in working the job.

At the time I was very young and went out on the town a lot with my friends. It was basically easy for me to land a second shift housekeeping position which would allow me to wake late, work late and leave energized at 10:00 pm to hang for awhile with my peeps. Peeps is one of the things we used to call each other- haa.

Cabin Fever? puhleeeze- snow days are vacations.

Whether in emementary school or on the job, snow days- when they're necessary- are a welcome break....

I love snow-in days, especially when my spouse and I are both involved. If we're both home, there are no worries and we dwell with a fire and good coffee, maybe some games or reading. If it's just me, I do the same thing exactly- but alone!

That's most of the time. The rest of the time we like to be out in it. One never grows out of the want to build a snow man, snow woman or- if you live in Michigan- a snow family! Snowball fights are inevitable.

Something I have not done, but think would be fun- if I lived in Michigan- would be to go out back and carve out a snow cave to camp in, build a fire and roast treats while having spiked coffee.

Egg nog anyone?? We've got egg nog, cider and hot cocoa....

Christmas beverages at the top of my list...

Egg Nog

Homemade egg nog has been a solid tradition in my family's Christmas menu. Fresh Egg nog is made sometime on Christmas Eve, to be refrigerated and enjoyed throughout Christmas night. The best tasting egg nog is non-alcoholic, and peppered with ground nutmeg- ground fresh if possible.

Taking place just behind egg nog only my list of favorite holiday beverages are spiced apple cider and hot chocolate.

Would I Live Forever?

Maybe I would....especially if I could work in a library.

Forever life on earth could be a hard pill to swallow. If somehow I could maintain connections (to not the be only one capable of forever-life would seem to be the only real option).

The problem of exhaustion would need to be addressed, as people do become exhausted and look forward to the end, and their various salvations.

I am inherently open-minded, and so cannot rule out the fantasy.

Meat Lover or Meatless: My Stance on Vegetarianism

2010-12-11T09:14:26-05:00

Vegetarian re-hash

what to do ?

Vegetarianism has never been a strong calling in my life. I have tried it a couple of half-hearted times, but found it to leave my body very hungry and never learned how to alleviate that. Vegetarian proteins alone did not seem substantial.

I would not rule out giving it another chance.

Consideration of my (and my spouse's) final destination. That is, where will we retire, and WILL we retire? So many never get to, and that is a concern.

.....not to mention other final considerations....
