IV electronics

Plugging my laptop in when the battery was low the other night, I happened to see my Kindle on a table on the other side of the couch, and realized it needed to be charged.  I found the cord and plugged it into my laptop.  I went into the kitchen and picked up my cell phone to put it in my purse when I saw it too, was on low battery.  I took that into the living room and plugged it into the USB on the opposite side of the laptop to charge.  Back to the kitchen I went to drop my bluetooth into the side pocket of my purse when I remembered hearing it warn "talk time, 1 hour" earlier in the day.  I plugged that into an outlet in the kitchen.

Blink.  Blink.

Did I miss anything?

Unseen dangers and bad judgment.

My new job has hazards I never really gave any thought to before.  See this nice intersection here?  See that red light there?  Right after this photo was snapped, a green arrow appeared there, and a car pulled into that right lane and turned the corner on the arrow.

Unfortunately, by the time I followed that other car and zipped around that corner myself (quickly, I might add) the arrow had disappeared.  Ahem.  Quite clearly.  Heh.

A hundred bucks a pop for these kinds of tickets, not to mention endangering the general public.

DOH!  My bad.

**actually it looks like I've got the pictures out of order which means that arrow was even longer gone than I thought when I went through it.  YIKES!

New Recipe! Chicken Infused Biscuit Mass!

What?  You haven't heard of it before?  Me neither.  But I made it none the less.

Ahem.

It's what happens when your crock pot is too small (apparently) for the recipe you are following, and when you use big honkin' biscuits instead of the puny store brand I guess.  It was supposed to be chicken and dumplings but when it started seeping out and over the edges of the crock pot and had to be transferred into the oven in a casserole dish, I had to recognize the aggressiveness of big biscuits.  It was a little like one of those old black and white horror flicks .. The Blob, maybe.  They took over the chicken, the broth and soup, they sopped up all the liquid and sucked the chicken into them.  I understand the concept of bread soaking up liquid but these biscuits took over the crock pot and then the casserole dish to the point that this recipe turned out to be more of a loaf.

For the record the recipe called for 3 tins of biscuits and when my son brought home the ginormous ones I only used 2.  I cut them into quarters as the recipe directed.  I thought that would be an appropriate amount considering they were larger than your average biscuits.  Heh.


It had good flavor though.  For real.

In control.

Seeing lots of these lately.

Signs telling me where to go .. even when my GPS identifies the location I'm supposed to be at as a parking garage ... 

I'm learning tricks to remembering where I park - thank goodness for my phone!

The inside of my car is more familiar to me than ever before, and my my GPS is my friend.

Sometimes I get to do this in the middle of the day.  I'm learning to sit in a restaurant (Denny's is TOO a restaurant!) alone and enjoy the experience.

TEA

And at home - I am still trying to convince myself that I will finally get why other people like coffee so much - by setting it up in an appealing manner.  The verdict is still out on that one.

I've gone a little clock crazy..

am taking care of my itty bitty winged kitty -

I've been accepted into an I.T. certification program, and the smell of baked apples is wafting through my house.

All in all I would say - life is good.
