Still more things off my plate (Sunday), and it's not enough

[cjsmith]

Filed every @#$!ing piece of paper on my desk. Pulled out my eyeglass prescription (which had been filed properly) and put it in the car in case I get a wild crazy notion to get new glasses. Did laundry. Ran a load of dishes.

Read Stiff. FASCINATING book. Not for the squeamish, and some parts of it were a little hard for an animal lover like me to take, but I'm very glad I read it. Right up there with Dead Men Do Tell Tales.

(Oh, and some interesting things on my plate. Tried a new thing in the crock pot: chicken, soy sauce, ginger, sesame, white wine. Decided against orange peel when sniffing it next to sesame. In retrospect, too much soy sauce and too much wine. Salty-tangy! But the sesame and the ginger were good.)

Utterly failed to:
- do anything useful with the Fortune magazine
- finish updating my Quicken information
- finish my Piper Warrior ground review form
- fly at all
- do a single thing toward swimming, eg find out how much it would cost to join my local Y
- clear out the dangerously full mail drawer
- hand-wash the hand-wash dishes (I'll do that tonight)
- do anything for work, where whether or not I am behind I feel like I'm WAY behind. Tomorrow is going to suck.

Ooooh! Can I borrow it!

"Stiff" sounds really icky! Can I borrow it? Please, please?

Absolutely! And Joe and Jen will want it eventually, too, whenever the twins let them have enough "down time" to read for pleasure. I do want it back eventually, but "eventually" can be long.

I'll probably breeze right through it. :)

*nod* No surprise. I did. I figure Joe&Jen are allowed to take longer! ;-)

I will certainly be interested in reading this at some point. I've enjoyed Mary Roach's columns in Reader's Digest.

I've not read this, but my good IRL friend cinnamonduff recommends this icky book as well:

And hey, good job on gettting that stuff done! You're moving along, even if you didn't get it *all* done. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Oh my, that does sound fascinating!

Thanks. I just feel like I'm running downhill ahead of an avalanche... *sigh* at least it hasn't hit me yet!

Coolness! You're on. Next transfer will be (some or all) Good Eats DVDs returned and this book heading your way.

Orange and sesame do go together pretty well in stirfries, but I've never tried them in a crockpot-type recipe so I can't say whether they'd work there.

Oh cool, I wasn't completely off my rocker when I pulled it out of the spice cabinet. :-) Maybe next time I'll give it a try!
