Hi guys!\u00a0 I did indeed have wine and dessert last night!<\/p>\n

\"Cookies<\/p>\n

Red wine and 1.5 Mexican wedding cookies made by WF<\/abbr>.\u00a0 We watched a comedy special last night featuring a bunch of random comics.\u00a0 Scott and I love comedy so much!\u00a0 But we are extremely picky about what we find funny and what we don’t.\u00a0 It’s not even subject matter related because we’re pretty easy going and not easily offended.\u00a0 So swearing and off color jokes don’t phase us at all.\u00a0 It’s more about how the comedian moves, talks, and approaches their routine.\u00a0 We saw several bad comics in that lineup we watched and sadly most of them were women.\u00a0 I really want to support women comics but I’m just not finding any that are funny.\u00a0 Example, I really really want, with all of my heart, to think Sarah Silverman is funny.\u00a0 But every time I watch one of her routines, all I want to do is scratch my ears off to make the pain stop.\u00a0 I find her stuff horrible and totally not funny.\u00a0 Her small part that we watched last night, I was thankful for it being less than five minutes long because it was so terrible.\u00a0 Blah! I know loads of people love her but I am not one of them.\u00a0 However, Eugene Mirman sends me into fits of laughter.\u00a0 It was Comedians of Comedy or something along those lines, that we watched last night.<\/p>\n

Once it was over I crashed out in bed.<\/p>\n

I tried sleeping in this morning but it wasn’t happening.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 I got up, took care of Rocks and then got started on my day.\u00a0 Oh Monday, why do you have to be so quirky sometimes?<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

I wanted yogurt and granola.\u00a0 I went downstairs to check for backup yogurt only to discover that we don’t have any!\u00a0 Well I wasn’t about to eat the last of the yogurt so I had to move on to something else.\u00a0 I didn’t feel like oats or oatbran.\u00a0 After pacing around the kitchen for 45 minutes, I finally decided on a whole wheat pita with PB<\/abbr> and honey.<\/p>\n

\"Pita<\/p>\n

It was okay but I only ate half because somehow breakfast without fruit seemed so very wrong.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

I pulled out an apple to munch on.<\/p>\n

And I got busy on the always exciting Monday task of laundry.\u00a0 Took Rocks out for his walk in the gorg weather we are having!\u00a0 And then back home for lunch prep.<\/p>\n

I bought a yellow watermelon at the store over the weekend and as I was chopping it up, I found out it was rotten.\u00a0 YUCK!<\/p>\n

sigh<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Blackberries<\/a>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Blackberries for lunch it was!<\/p>\n

I started pulling out other things for either sides or for Scott to eat.\u00a0 Disaster!<\/p>\n

I pulled out some leftover guac. Bad.<\/p>\n

Leftover pizza. Bad.<\/p>\n

Remaining hummus. Bad.<\/p>\n

Lordy!!<\/p>\n

I just started stomping around the kitchen and putting together lunch all Grumpy Dwarf like.\u00a0 Here’s what we had:<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n

Salad! With the much better mixed greens!<\/p>\n
