Have you ever needed a very specific food product and searched all over hell & back to find it?
Well, thankfully we have the internet, so I'm not driving all over the place, but.... I can't even find a local seller via the net!
The product? Badia Cuban Seasoning. Well, I don't think it IS CUBAN (not FROM Cuba), but is similar to a cuban spice, I guess. Anyway, I can't find the stuff anywhere and want to make a really yummy chicken recipe that needs it.
argh!

People Who Are Annoying Who Are Annoyed by Other People
Is it a pun when someone who is annoyed by a particular someone else ends up being really annoying to other people?
I found it really funny. Person A looks away and rolls the person A eyes every time person B speaks. OK, so person B might have some issues. But, person B really DOES have information that might benefit all of us at some time or another.
I'm not very good at hiding when somebody is annoying me (Seriously, I am not person A OR B in this scenario - unless someone else is writing a similar story about me tonight and I don't know it). It is really hard, because there are parts of me that really LIKE person A. But there are other parts of me that are SO F-ING annoyed by person A! I'm struggling to get over it and just be accepting, but.... it's so hard. But when I saw person A make these terrible faces SO MANY times, I wanted to BOP him/her on the head and say "don't you know how f-ing annoying YOU are? Get over the fact that person B might be a little annoying!"
It's probably a good thing I'm not a parent to human children. I'm NOT feeling very patient today. Especially towards people who are annoying.

Hobbies - To Keep or Not to Keep
I think I've decided that I have too many desires when it comes to hobbies!
I have a TON of beading stuff, a ton of knitting & crochet stuff, a ton on photograpic equipment, and of course..... twelve tons of quilting stuff, including 3 sewing machines and about hundred pounds of fabric (slight exaggeration possible)!
So anyway, I have made the decision to pass along my beading goodies. I think about giving the crochet/knitting stuff away, too. But.... hmmm, I don't know if I can do it! I don't mind even just making little dish cloths & stuff. I like the creative outlet that comes with crocheting - different patterns I can do & stuff. I haven't really "got" knitting yet. I don't think I'll try anymore until after I'm done with school, either. My Aunt has a knitting machine and wants to make me a sweater. I'm thinking... "a MACHINE" that you can knit with!?!?!?!?!? Hmmmm. The Brain parts are spinning!
Ok, enough for now. I need to get some reading in!

WOW - I feel crappy!
So, it started with a migraine on Thursday. Normally, those last 4-5 days, but I managed to get it to go away last night (Friday) by taking Excederin.... I took 2 more before I went to bed because I could feel it creeping back....
So this morning, about 6am, I wake up with my stomach feeling really weird. I can't figure out if it's upset, or hungry. So, I just lay there trying to fall back asleep. After all, since I went to bed at 2am, I definitely haven't got my 8 hours in!! Anyway, I lay there about an hour before finally taking some Pepto - which helped, thankfully. Fell back asleep until about 10:something. Yay!!
But darn it if the stomach-hurting isn't back again! I NEED to be reading today.
I think I'll go make some Malt-O-Meal and eat it plain. Maybe that will work. Hopefully it will be bland enough to not make matters worse!

Friday, September 21, 2007 Partini III
Wow, did I wake up with a banger of a migraine today!
Not surpisingly, I guess, since I had gone to bed with it last night. Whatever! I was just hoping it would magically disappear overnight. Instead, I woke up about every 30-60 minutes because of the pounding with each movement.
Ok, so anyway, I get up this morning - futz around on the computer for an hour or so, and decide it just hurts too much to be "upright" ----> and promply go back to bed. Darn head doesn't really feel better laying down, but whatever.
Eventually I had to get up to go have my TB test read and go to the post office. Came back to make a pot-luck dish for a FUN event we were going to tonight. I made some pretty yummy scalloped potatoes! Ummmmm.
So, Partini III. How much more fun can you have? "Partini" is a game night. It's held at the home of our dental-hygenist. We were first invited to Partini II, which was held in July. The dental office decided to do this every few months and decided to invite a couple of patient-couples. I would guestimate there are about 9 couples there - pretty good group! They have tables/chairs set up in 3 rooms, with a different game at each table. You play for about an hour per game, then switch to another table to play another game with a different group of people. We all have dinner, all have dessert, and partake in whatever drinks we bring (or others share).
Tonight I was at a table that played "Apples to Apples" and another game called "Stare." Apples to Apples was definitely the better of the two games, but I really DID like Stare, too!!! I think it just takes the right frame of mind. I had it - others weren't so happy playing. So, we went back to Apples to Apples. FUN FUN FUN!!
The whole evening was great. Not only did I have fun playing games, but..... just about ALL of my dish was devoured, my migraine went away w/in about an hour, and I got to meet some new people while getting re-acquainted with some I'd met last time. I can not wait for Partini IV - a great way to spend a Friday evening!!!
(thank you, Denise & Tom!)
