Gee, I'm Glad It's Raining

Anyone else know that song from Earnest Goes to Camp? Yes, I know how ridiculous that sentence sounds when reading it out loud. It's the one somber moment in the movie as Earnest stares longingly out the window of his cabin. He's singing to his pet turtle. Man, I've gotta watch that again. My high school friend, Sam, and I used to sing that together. Mainly because he's the only other person (besides Zach) that I've met who knew it. Wow--how's that for way too much information? Can you tell I've had my cup of tea this morning?

But truly, it is raining. I'm sitting in my pajamas sipping a huge cup of green tea and feeling extra thankful for the holiday. See, I'd been prepping myself mentally to work today. I typically work Mondays and since Starbucks is open this fine Labor Day, I just assumed I'd be the one spilling, err I mean, serving the coffee. But alas, I got the day off and for that I couldn't be more relieved.

Anyway, back to our normally scheduled programming. I started to write this morning in continuation of my last "update" posting. In the meantime, I should tell you about the 2 silly things I saw on pinterest.com (aka: the best time waster EVER). First, is a pin/recipe for gluten free play-doh. Now, please correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't a gluten allergy strictly dealing with the consumption of wheat? Are you going to make that recipe with the plan of your kid eating it (because you know they will) or are you making it because it has the words gluten free in it and that makes you feel better? The other curiosity was a pin for taco quesadillas. Admittedly, I also clicked on it to read the recipe.....until I realized that I already KNOW the recipe. A taco quesadilla is just like a regular quesadilla. Right?! I've seen different words put in front of "quesadilla" to make them sound intriguing. Apple/Brie, Bacon/Chicken, even Pizza. But taco quesadilla is direct repetition. I've gotta stop there, because reading back I sound a little nutso. I just thought I'd give you a peek into the mystery world of my brain. I find little things to keep myself entertained. It's a wonder I'm not an only child.

OK, promise to continue the update later. Now it's time to go snuggle my favorite new born baby burrito, Allie Joy Johnsey.
