A smorgasborg of somethings

• I went to the grocery store today and I have to say groceries are going up and up and up...and, as someone who just recently resigned from her job, that's not a comforting realization.
• I just made that cake that many of you love -the falling down cake with the strawberries and whipped topping. Um, after consuming about half the batter, it's now baking in the oven. I am in painful anticipation for the oven timer to ding.
• I just looked at the isd website and I saw the 6th, 7th or 8th grade english teacher for GMS posting. I already hate who will be me. Now, that's a cynical thing to say, but I do. What if she/he's really good and no one even remembers me? : (
• I cannot tell you how many people comment on grant's cuteness when I take him out. It's ridiculous. But, i mean, look at him. It's only to be expected. : )
• I've already been back from Vegas a week. How...?!
• I've run three days in a row. Today I hurt when I got back. I've got a two mile path that i do. I will not be posting times anytime soon. But three days - that's good, right?
• back to the groceries - did you know that a one pound block of cheddar cheese was only 6 bucks about 6 months ago? Now its 7. 48. That's ridiculous.
• You'll be impressed by this - my menu for the week includes things such as Hawaiian grilled pork chops, slow cooked beef stroganoff, zucchini and squash kabobs, chicken Caesar pasta salad....Yes, i know, those things may sound simple to those of you more advanced in your homemaking endeavors, but for me, that's impressive. I'm just coming to realize that cooking is not something I just love to do...baking, that's different. But cooking, it's just not my thing...yet! But I'll get better. And I'll love it. We won't have money to afford groceries, but I can always make a mean grilled cheese! Wait! Cheese is too expensive...crud, we're gonna starve.
• My cake's STILL not done. Ay yay yay. I need some cake!
• I'm sitting here watching grant army crawl across the floor and I just had this vision of him at 15 months and the Christmas tree. That's gonna be soooo fun... : )
• Okay, I suppose that's enough rambling.
