inkyblog: crockpots miffy and holidays

wondering
how come i always pass the 'bad earbuds jogger' at the exact same place every single day. when you factor in that i am going south at 4.44 miles per hour and he is jogging north at probably 35 mph (or however fast joggers run... i have never jogged a minute in my entire life) it's quite amazing and serendipitous that we always pass at Amagansett, even if i'm running late. i know he'd enjoy his run so much more with better earbuds... apple earbuds are just horrible.

banning
the fast forwarding of songs on my 'walking ipod' from now on (i still reserve the right to FF song endings in the car, i cannot stand the endings of songs :) i honestly believe the walk takes longer in my mind, because i listen to just half of so many songs. if i listen to songs in their entirety, however excrutiating that is, it's less excrutiating than the walk seeming to last forever. sadly, i am not one of those odd hard-to like people who gets addicted to exercise, and i have to bribe myself daily, that on my birthday, it will all be worth it :)

realizing
on my walk when a swarm of bees came towards me, that i have never been stung by a bee... so i have no clue if i'm allergic to them. my sister is deathly allergic to them... i wonder if that raises the odds.... hmm

needing
a crockpot. since i saw Jessica Seinfeld's cheesy (AND vegetarian:) crockpot lasagne on Oprah, i can think of nothing else, day and night (peanut butter aside, naturally...) i would just buy a crockpot, but it's so close to Black Friday it would be a shame to not get one for $10 online with free shipping (and no tax of course) with a free smaller crockpot for nacho cheese and the like! i am so desperate to make that lasagne, i actually in a moment of tummy-rumbling hunger, considered pulling the big block of wax out of my paraffin bath and making the lasagne in it - i think it's just a crockpot but filled with wax. i once saw a recipe with paraffin wax in it, so clearly it's not poisonous....

waiting
for a shiny new 1970s type thin waffle maker!! i had to have one... it arrives on Friday :)

also waiting
for this MP3 player. because i am a teenage japanese girl at heart :) i got the yellow one :)

wondering
how come 'mew' is a word but 'meow' isn't on bookworm. 'meow' is SO totally a word i use everyday :(

realizing
why we are so completely burnt out and tired out and disillusioned with OC... we have only had 3 nights of vacation time away from home this entire year :| in the words of Madonna "we NEED a holiday!!"

at the pumpkin patch... he keeps asking to go back to the "circus fing" :) Sam stayed at home to work on his book report (i think this officially means my first baby is growing up...)
