Things I think about while chopping up Crock-Pot-filling goodness

  • I like the name Julia, but I would never name my daughter that. People would call her Jul-YA, and that would drive me crazy. That’s not her name. Julia needs the “lia” at the end to be alluringly whispered, not a “YA” to be yelled.
  • Sometimes I wish I didn’t care about politics. It’s much easier, most of the time, to not get indignant or frightened or anything.  But I can’t help it. I get tears in my eyes and an icy hand around my heart when I hear the news these days, and I have to be opinionated to anyone who will listen.
  • Luckily, He’s Got The Whole World in His Hands. My worrying and opinions don’t make that any more or less true.
  • My husband loves Crock-Pot meals because he thinks they are incredibly tasty. I love them because I can throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and leave it alone for eight hours and he still thinks it’s incredibly tasty. This is what we call a Win-Win.
  • Grapes, peaches, Diet Coke with Lime, lemonade and Otter-Pops taste like summer.
  • I have great friends and family who tweet/share/internet-love my latest postings. It’s an amazing feeling to have people in your life who are so unselfishly supportive. Thanks, crew.
  • The Hubs and I went to CostCo together after work yesterday.  It’s been a long time since shopping was that fun. On our list: more cheese then two people should ever consume, an ice chest the size of a coffin and BEEF for Adam’s insatiable Texan appetite. Oh yeah, and a pizza. But that was kindof a last-minute – we-should-buy-a-pizza-they’re-really-cheap-oh-look-a-red-phone-like-for-the-White-House-but-for-pizza-let’s-order-one-and-eat-it-outside-and-revel-in-our-money-saving-abilities – decision.

  1. Hey, thanks. Read on. I like your words too.

    Names are a funny thing. My cousin is named Victoria, but my Aunt was so worried that everyone would start calling her Vicki that we’ve always called her by her middle name, which is Faith.

    Which just makes me wonder what the point of naming her Victoria was.

    Sincerely,

    Whitney
