Hobbit-ish Potpurri

Greetings Humble Readers! Today's post is just a collection of little bits of things that have been rattling around in my brain and dying to get out on 'paper' as it were.

***********************************

Thank you so much to all the ICLWers who have been reading and commenting. I have been loving reading all your blogs and getting to know you a bit better. And comments really are the new hug! (I'm on the road to being an Iron Commenter this month... I'm currently in the 80's on Mel's list)

***********************************

Last night's dinner turned out great, but I have changes to make before I post the recipe. I will say tho, the Ta.ste of H.ome Chicken Recipe magazine is amazing! I have chicken recipes to try for months!

***********************************

As much as I'm enjoying having a cycle where I know that there is no possibility of a BFP at the end of it, I am still having a few weird phantom symptoms. With both Emily and Olivia, I developed a case of hives during the tww. For the last three days, I have been itchy beyond belief and I KNOW ITS ALL IN MY HEAD and it's pissing me off! I'm also getting a bit anxious as AF gets closer. She's due to appear on Saturday or Sunday, and I'm pondering calling my OB's office on Friday and fibbing a bit to attempt to avoid what happened this past cycle (aka getting screwed out of my HSG). Opinions?

**********************************

On the menu tonight: Southwest Cheddar Burgers, Sauted Mushrooms & Onions, and Creamy Cucumber Salad.

**************************

Last but not least... oddities from the world of retail... This past Sunday was the day for me to find really weird stuff lying around my store. Normally we will find the collection of Sta.rbucks coffee cups, magazine subscription cards, baby bottles, cell phones and sunglasses left amongst the stacks of books. This Sunday I found (in reverse order... because I still can't believe it) a dryer sheet (which obviously fell out of someone's pantleg, a balled up soaking wet sock (it's owner was a 10 year old boy who had left a trail of his boots and socks by our fireplace), and... wait for it... it's that disturbing...

a pair of little girls underwear! Soiled pink panties! On the floor in the middle of our kid's department. I'm still shaking my head about it.

    thank you for the last bit of your post... i giggled out loud...underwear?!? in a bookstore?!?

    and because you asked- I've fibbed to the doctor before so that I could get appointments. I call it a good strategy for this game.

    Thank you for your ICLW on my e-mail to my friend post.
    Sounds like you have made some great recipes recently!
    Isn't it great that we play mind games with ourselves about "symptoms" we may be having. Hang in there.

    That is an odd thing to find in the store.

    I saw your list of books to read. What is your favorite Austen book? I'm a fan of Mansfield Park.

    Happy ICLW

    Soiled panties?? Ewww! Who the heck would "drop" those? And if dropped, why not in the bathroom? Weird!

    It may be naughty of me, but I say fib, fib, fib....see if you can get in this week. :)

    I say fib all the way if it gets you closer to where you want to be and if it's not dangerous.

    Hope your tailbone isn't hurting too much and that you have survived the cold so far.

    :o)

    I agree with Pundelina - fib all the way if it gets you to where you wanna be!

    I gasp at the little girls panties - in a book store? I mean really? Geez.

    I can't believe the things you find in your store. How funny. And, I'm all for fibbing to get your appointment.

    Your dinner plans sound delish.

    Dinner sounds great, can I come? Anyway, the little girl's panties makes me queasy. That makes me wonder if someone's hanging out in your store that shouldn't be. I would watch for anyone who comes in a lot but never seems to buy anything. I have a weird job too. I work in an OR, and you'd be amazed at the stuff we pull out of certain places on Saturday nights! ICLW

    Oh wow, that certainly is a strange collection of stuff to find in a bookstore. The images in my head of how that stuff got there....yikes!

    And yes, that is creepy about the underwear.

    I look forward to reading back and getting to know you.

    Ah, the things you find and things you hear in the world of retail!

    Reading about your southwest burgers just made my tummy rumble!
