Some random thoughts

Someday when the world comes to an end I think I will miss cheddar cheese more than ANY other food that can't be in my food storage. I just don't think that powdered chesse stuff is going to compare. If I had to pay all my free cash for a craving in those days, I'm betting you it will be for some sharp cheddar cheese. Mmmm.

Speaking of, do you have your disaster plan prepared? I can't stop thinking about it lately. Lots of talks in church have focused on preparedness lately, and there's even a humongous billboard along I-15 that says has a big map that reads "You are here (arrow). Where is your family?" How will we meet up when disaster strikes? All we know sofar is that whomever is closer to Adrie that day will get her, we'll meet at home, wait 24 hours from the time of said disaster to let Kendall and Rachel catch up to us, and then decide if we need to go somewhere else. But that's not much of a plan. Are you prepared? What are we going to do when cell phones and internet don't work? I have water and food, but how happy will I be eating and drinking it? Anyway. I could ramble on but I won't.

Adrie talks SO MUCH lately. Gone are the days in which I can list for you the words she says, because she shocks me every day with new ones. My newest favorite is "Shoes" and "Please" ("Beesh"). Kendall watched her last week and she said at least 2 new words while I was gone -"Outside", and something else I can't remember.

Adrie had ear tubes put in on Thursday, and to our surprise (and dismay) both of her ears were infected! That makes her fourth ear infection since Christmas. Guess those tubes really are needed.

I'm taking a Digital SLR class through UVSC's community ed courses to learn better how to use my camera. It's utterly exciting and entirely overwhelming all at the same time. I can only push myself for so long before I give up and set it aside for a few days. After the SLR class comes a Lighting class. I'm not quite ready to give up my day job yet though.

I've said it before, but I really think the polarity of water in dissolving food on dishes is amazing. Think about it people, how awful would it be to do dishes in milk or oil or some other non-polar liquid that didn't dissolve 4-day-old food?

I didn't do dishes from Sunday through Friday this week. I think it's a record.

Yup, life's a little stressful and here I sit blogging block text that few are likely to read. That's ok! I'm off to clean my house so I can make it through parent hell week at work. :)

All in all, life is good!
