Friday, September 16, 2005Most Anything Sweet One of the things I hated most about working was wearing uncomfortable clothing. Particularly panty hose. Man, do I hate those things. It was "required attire" back in the day. I understand that the professional world is relaxing some these days.One of my favorite aspects of being a writer is the required attire. I get to choose it. Yesterday, I wore flannels and bugs bunny slippers. Today, I'm wearing camo pants, a t-shirt and bugs bunny slippers. Tomorrow ... who knows? The other great part of the job is snack time. No official lunch breaks for this girl. As a result, my eating habits are not what they should be. I eat when I get hungry. If I'm on a roll and don't want to mess up my groove I make a quick commute to the pantry. Ding Dongs are my "go to" snack if available. If we're out, most anything sweet will do. If I'm not on a roll and don't have any groove whatsoever, I make a quick commute to the pantry. Ding Dongs are my "go to" snack if available. You're beginning to get the picture, eh? Yesterday I had Starbucks for breakfast, oatmeal cookies for lunch and chips & dip for dinner. (We're out of Ding Dongs.) With the teens coming and going at all hours, we keep dinner on the warming trays from 4:00pm to 10:00pm. Between everybody's work schedule and extra curricular schedules, the family sit-down dinners are a thing of the past. I do work out at the gym and usually eat a decent dinner. But during the day, I'm not too disciplined. What about you?

Well, glad you're not heavily into period foods! Today's breakfast was applesauce, Famous Amos and milk. Lunch was Crystal Lite and Tostitos Gold and a Salted Nut Roll on the way home from a brief shopping trip. Dinner will be a Papa Murphy's take n' bake pizza, but this weekend will include homemade cod stew or wild rice soup at some point, with homemade bread. Pantyhose only on Sundays and I work-out at home. No bunny slippers, but my toenails are a stunning mix of sky blue and deep purple right now, so I'd hate to keep them hidden...

Phil & I get to do the sit down dinners most of the time. We make every effort to do dinner as a family when all the kids are home. Two are so close to graduating and days of having family dinners are numbered because they're just growing up so quickly. In fact, dinner is when we get to play catch up and just be silly as you are quite aware that I married the "biggest clown in the world"!
I guess I've gotten "spoiled" with dressing up because I'm a "shopaholic". BUT panty hose -- No Way! I love wearing summer dresses and sandals. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've had to sneak in shopping bags with a new pair of sandals. When hubby says, "When did you get those"? (usually after I've worn them once or twice) My response is always the same, "Oh, I've had these". I think that line is starting to wear thin ;-)

I'm a clog addict myself...
Keep servin' those family dinners, but rest assured that if/when your little ones do move on, they will be back, popping in unexpectedly to munch your food and use your phone and consume your stamps. And they will bring new, out-of-town friends with them, who will sleep in your home for a weekend and a week. And to be kind, you will take them all to a restaurant for a nice meal, and when you order pasta, they will order steak. And as you chew, listening to their boisterous conversation and watching their exuberant countenances, it will occur to you that being "lonely" might not be such a bad thing... :o)
