If I could turn back time...
Actually I promise I’m not going to channel Cher. I just felt like it was appropriate because I was about to post about how much I hate New Year’s resolutions, and then I had a thought…if I went back to posts around this time over the past few years, I’d be willing to bet I could just reblog my own old posts with a similar sentiment.
If I’m not original, at least...

Glasses half (use)ful
During my last visit to the eye doctor, I had an aha moment. “Aha, that’s why I can’t read signs when driving and night driving especially has become teeth-grinding anxiety provoking…I need more glasses.” Seems obvious enough…
My optometrist suggested that many patients my age (clinging on to the last of 20s) opt for a pair for far-sightedness, and one for...

Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal
I’m horrible about eating breakfast. I know it’s the most important meal of the day, but as someone who is almost literally never hungry, it takes me a while to be in the mood to eat anything. But, tonight that all changes. Haha. Ok, probably unlikely that it will ever all change, but I am going to try to start eating breakfast.
What started this change of heart? Bikram Yoga. I...

The Good Stuff
I have this cold, and I think it’s sticking around for the long haul.
It’s nestling snuggly into my chest, Like a kitten, but less cute, and more hacking.
Tonight I took cough syrup, the real-deal stuff, the kind with codeine that triggers your gag reflex and rolls your eyes up real far into your head when you swallow.
That kind.
The good stuff.
I’m not sleeping yet, ...

Coal-black alien planet is darkest ever seen →
This is a great headline, because they make you think it is a planet belonging to aliens, not just a planet that is new and unknown.
Also, I don’t understand why they used an artist rendering if they have pictures of it. It must be far less impressive to us non-astronomers in picture.

Dinner with the parents..
“Chicken Fajitas? Chicken Fajitas?” the waitress asks us, with doe eyes averted. I suspect she already knew her mistake.
My parents and I stare back at the sizzling skillet and the side of rice and beans in her hands. None of us ordered Chicken Fajitas.
“Chicken Fajitas?”
Finally, I speak up for my mute family members, “Nope. No chicken fajitas here.”
She...

This just in...
After a quick and not at all exhaustive Internet search (I googled), it appears you can make watermelon cupcakes but they use watermelon flavoring/extract, not the actual fruit.
I don’t think you can make anything with watermelon. It’s too watery.
**Fruit Ninja once taught me that early settlers used watermelons as canteens.

Things I know...
1. I know I am not the information police. I have the hardest time not correcting people when I know the right answer, but some times it’s not the right thing to do. I need to get better at letting misinformation go, it is not always critical.
For example, “The famine in South Africa is so sad,” is incorrect. They’re referring to the famine in Somalia, (which is in...

Rioting for what?
This rioting in London confuses me. Most rioting confuses me, in fact. When we had the WTO riots in Seattle here, I never quite got it. People were protesting WTO and big corporations but then were stealing Nikes?
I get that there is always a cause, in this case, a likely unjust shooting/killing of a man. I’m not going to pretend to know the details of whether this man was guilty,...
