"It's my immaturity that keeps me young."

State of Shock
Tuesday was the 25th anniversary of Live Aid.
I'm thinking about how 25 years ago I did not yet have a child. I was, however, 6 months pregnant and as big as a house. I lived in a tiny one bedroom shack I mean house with my husband of ten minutes, who doesn't really figure into this memory, so let's move on.
My awesome friend Harry came over that afternoon and while I can't remember what we did or what we talked about, I clearly remember during the electric rendition of Mick Jagger and Tina Turner singing State of Shock together, sparks shot out of the back of my TV and it blew up. No lie.
Dear Lord, such changes in my life in the 25 years since: my child will be 25 in October and is getting married next year. That husband is long gone. My awesome friend Harry lives way the heck out in Washington state and I only see him like once every decade. Not to mention that I hooked up on line with a guy I've known since kindergarten and now we're a couple. No one saw that coming.
Let me tell ya, it's been quite the quarter-century.

Breakfast for dinner
I'm sick of food; I'm sick of cooking, I'm sick of packing lunches and I'm sick of grocery shopping. I guess the only think I'm not sick of is actually eating the food. Which is one of my favorite things.
When I was growing up, once or twice every winter my mom would make pancakes for dinner. It was awesome. Since I have no mad pancake-making skillz, we're having biscuit, egg, pepper, sausage & cheese casserole, a recipe which the Big Man and I have perfected together over the past 6 months or so. It'll be my first attempt at solo casseroling.
I think I'm ready :)

Morning madness
We talk at lunch every day because there are not enough hours in the day for us to say all we need to say to each other.
Me: There was no yogurt in my lunch.
Him: I forgot. I was confused.
Me: What happened?
Him: The drainer was on the counter and there were dishes in it. There was no room to work.
Me: Why didn't you just put the dishes away? It would have taken two seconds.
Him: I don't know. It was too early to think of that?
I'll tease him about that until says something else equally as crazy. Like prolly Wednesday.
