Today is Saturday, and I have NOTHING planned. Absolutely nothing. I love this feeling! For the first time in a long while I get to sit at home, read, listen to some music, and slow down. This should be an everyday occurrence but it’s not. I’m just going to have to savor every bit of this…nothingness.
Sleeping in a mummy sleeping bag is fun…to a certain extent. The fun of being wrapped up nice and warm pretty much ends when the phone goes off and you roll off the bed trying to reach the phone. Then you’re just struggling to get yourself out of the mummy bag and of course, that’s when the zipper chooses to fail. Nothing starts a Saturday quite like laying face down on the ground at 8am trying to explain to a frantic dad that you’re not their son Mandeep.
Don’t go to the post office on a Saturday. The 8am-2pm slot that they are open invites every man and woman between the ages of 18-65 that hold a regular day job to show up. We’re talking a line of cars similar in length to the in-n-out drive-thru at noon. And don’t expect the line inside the post office to be any better. I’ve seen better organized lines at the DMV.
Wait at least 15 minutes after the fire dept. leaves your house before lighting up candles (safely). Nothing says “hello I’m an idiot” quite like having the fire truck make a u-turn before it returns to the firehouse.
I’m never starting a batch of corned beef after 8pm on a weekday again. EVER.
Men should never wear skinny jeans. There are no exceptions. If your jeans are tight enough for someone to be able to visibly count the change in your pockets, SEEK HELP.
Is peanut butter safe to leave out? I know it says to refrigerate after opening but cold peanut butter is so hard to spread!!
The first thing you make at home after an epic cooking fail (i.e. wed night) should be small. A piece of toast and some jam. Perhaps a turkey and broccoli hot-pocket. Don’t overdo it. Learn from your mistakes and move on.
I love having a Target on the way home. It’s seriously SO convenient.
And finally, on a more serious note, please remember to pray for the earthquake victims in Chile. More than any time in recent history, we realized that our destiny is not of our choosing. We do not expect nor do we understand the natural disasters that may be around the next corner. After the recent earthquake in Haiti, it seem as though the world came together to provide help and aid to a crippled nation. It feels as though people from everywhere rose to the occasion, but every time we think we’ve measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we're reminded that that capacity may well be limitless. Please pray for the people in Chile.

first, why do you sleep in a mummy bag when you're at home? mandeep or not, that's weird.
second, peanut butter should actually be okay if you leave it out since it has very low water activity. ie. like honey, nothing will grow. the only problem is pb is really high in fat/oil so if you leave it out tOO long, the oil will oxidize go bad. seems like you eat enough pb&j to not have to worry about that though = ]
and finally, what happened in the kitchen!?! hahaa btw, congrats to ssg for reigning supreme!
yeah the mummybag's cuz i've been airing out the rooms so the house is freezing. as far as the kitchen goes...it' a pretty long story...let's just say the kitchen's still intact :P
Thanks for the PB advice!
