Monday ramblings while waiting for Coffee…

Is all this rain good for crops? I am hoping it is. My family and I belong to a CSA, and are looking forward to all the fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables. This is my heads up to all who mentioned they liked they idea of a CSA. More detailed information can be obtained for your area at Local Harvest.

I was asked the question: “If you had only ONE color you could paint the interior of your house with, what would it be? What would be your SECOND color of all of your fabrics and accessories.” I do not have an answer. Maybe after consuming some caffeine I will become inspired? It is doubtful. I am not a very good decorator. Which translates to, I have an odd assortment of furniture and none of it truly “goes” together, yet works perfectly for our family. I adore the calm blue and brown of my bedroom, yet would I enjoy living in all blue and brown? Probably not. Currently my walls are painted Cafe Au Lait with some accent walls in Burning Bush Red. All the ceilings and base boards in the house are Cream in My Coffee. So to choose just one colour? Anyone have ideas?

Why do teens become crabbier the more they are helped? Example? The twinks have a track meet today. I asked if they planned to take some fruit and was snapped at. When I inquired if they planned to bring some peanut butter sandwiches I was growled at and by the time I asked if they had any plans to bring water to their meet they lost it completely. What do I know? I am just their mom and apparently not a clever one this morning.

Why do four minutes seem to take forever when I am steeping my morning coffee?

Should I suck it up and at least make a consultation visit with the neurologists at The Cleveland Clinic? Even though I know the last resort is experimental surgery? It would be a long drive and I do not think my husband could get time off. I probably just need caffeine.

Why are dandelions classified as a weed? They are pretty, decorative and one weed/flower that actually enjoys growing in my yard. As kids I made lovely bouquets of them, so why now are they viewed as not pretty?

How long will I continue to have hot flashes? I am assuming at least another decade? Longer? I best start knitting sweaters for the guys!

Why did I cry when watching a documentary last night on Black Footed Ferrets? There were so many things I disliked about WY-O-WY-Wyoming, yet seeing the wide open, high altitude prairie surrounded by mountains, my home of only 6 years, reduced me to tears.

I was always told, “practise makes perfect”, yet this is most definitely not the case with my typing ability. Why?

Whew, the coffee is finally ready to plunge!
