Soy squared and an afternoon from heaven

Today is salad for lunch day. Chinese Crunch salad w/tofu, from Flying Star.

The salad is delicious and, as salads go, filling but not full of the bad stuff like Ranch dressing and salty deli meats. So it's a lunch that makes me feel virtuous for an hour or so. Unless I eat all of the crunchy fried noodles they give you to sprinkle on top, but I seldom do that. Unless I'm really hungry and not caring about nutrition virtue right at that very moment, then I go ahead and crunch em down.
Today my crispy noodle virtue was untested, though, as they forgot to include said crunchies with our takeout salads.

So, I just realized the Chinese Crunch has both tofu cubes (on top), then soybeans tossed into the greens. Which makes is a soy squared salad, right? Or is that a 2soy salad?

The day, well, honestly, if I hadn't been toting my friend JL's salad too, I might have veered off in the direction of the nearest park, found a nice tree and camped out beneath it to eat this Chinese soy treat. Then maybe considered a nap...naps are, well, wonderful. Some naps are more wonderful than others.

Today, today is a nap day. And it would have been a wonderful nap, of this I'm certain.

I did.not.want.to.come.back.

Birds were singing. The sun is shining brightly. The wind is only breezy not blow your hat off and exfoliate you wind. For a change.

Hmm. By my accounting, then, I've done not one but two responsible things today. Got a good lunch. Came back in when I really wanted to be out.side.

I think I deserve some chocolate.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Running Shoes...with Waves

Remember when you had one pair of tennies and they were for everything? Everything. Those days ended for me in high school when I started to run in earnest. In Nike Pegasus, their original running shoe, in white leather with a red swoosh. They were cushiony and durable and made me feel like less of a poser and more like a real runner. After that the style options exploded. I can't remember when Nike came out with their patented Air technology, but I had one of the original pairs..paid a ton of money for them, but it was money well spent. I ran all over the place in those things. All over. The foothills, the valley, sidewalks, parks, around the Academy, wherever...many miles in the originals. Generations of shoes later, I find myself not so happy with the Nike anymore. I've spent thousands of dollars on them in my life, but a few years back began to notice what I deemed to be a general decline in quality, though they've never stopped increasing their prices with ea
