Morning all! Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a good weekend, and especially a nice Mother 's Day. I couldn't have had a nicer one myself! It was the first Mother's Day that I was able to spend with my son in at least 12 or 13 years, as we lived on opposite coasts and visits just didn't include Mother's Day. My son and his wife had me, her mom, both of her sisters, and one of her sister's girlfriend's mom (and her sister) over for a wonderful brunch. It was a glorious, blue-skied, very warm day - the sun was intense enough that we all crowded into the shade. We ate outside and I had a deviled egg, a little cheese, some salmon, and some salad greens. It was great! I'm still so happy that I am finally able to enjoy fish again, after a long post-op period during which it just caused pain. But the best thing ever was just to be able to see and spend time with my son. I'm just so delighted to live close enough to be able to see him so easily!
QOTD: I'm not much of an inventor. When I was a kid whose mom insisted on my having very short, Christopher-Robin-like haircuts, I once dreamt that I had some magic spaghetti - every bite of it made my hair grow longer, until it was so long that bluebirds had to lift the ends and fly behind me, so it wouldn't drag on the ground. That was around the same time period as when I dreamt that simple butter could foil evil witches (I think this had to be rubbed in to work). Much later I recall telling a friend, one wintry day after scraping my frozen windshield, that we needed to invent a spray-on de-icer for windshields. I thought it was a great idea! He agreed, then laughingly told me that such a product already existed.
First: tea! Green for once - I was having so much black tea that on Friday night I saw that my tongue was brown! Yuck! So I'm back to green and herbal teas.
B: ham with smoked gouda
L: leftover salmon
D: turkey
S: Greek yogurt with a little Torani SF syrup
Have a lovely day, my friends!
Your invention reminded me about a doll I used to have! She was one of those really big baby dolls with bright red hair (very Chucky-like). Anyway, she had a retractable ponytail on the back of her head! You should literally pull her pony tail out to make it super long, or pull a cord on her back and it would retract up to give her a pixie cut. She lived on a shelf in my childhood room forever. My parents had a total house fire a few years ago and already, on the night of the fire, we were all joking that that doll was probably the one who set it.
