11 Random Things

1. I have the opposite of a reading slump. I want to read and read and read. Obstacles to reading include working, sleeping and eating.

2. I have a three day weekend coming up and I took an extra day off so I can read more.

3. Although reading An Everlasting Meal has made me want to cook more.

4. We recently got an xBox 360. I was hoping a Kinect was going to be my Valentine's Day present. It wasn't.

5. But I did get some beautiful roses and 2 dozen chocolate covered strawberries. 

6. I shared a dozen of those strawberries with my coworker. 

7. The other dozen are all mine :)

8. My local grocery store had a really good deal on Vitaminwater and Poweraide. I went a little crazy and bought 130 bottles. I have little storage issue right now.

9. I really like Vitaminwater but only the XXX kind. All the other flavors are tolerable. 

10. I tend to horde candy and snack items. I'll buy a box of cookies, eat a few, and keep the rest for later. Except I tend to forget about them and go out and get more cookies later. Tai finds boxes of cookies with half or less missing all the time.

11. I did our taxes and we owe again :( Boo!
