THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY

GROUNDHOG DAY.......

today would be the day to watch it...



and a SPOOF on it...

crazy ending to January.......2008

rain.....high winds......then ice......sun is trying to shine now.....but they say more rain and then snow on its way.

I guess we will see.

I finally got the rest of the Christmas stuff organized in the garage. WOW does that make me happy and the house is so nice and clean and organized again! As much as it can be since I have little available space.

LOTS to do here today. I am in the mood to roast turkey.....so I guess I will. It sounds sooooo yummy right about now.

I got BUTTERED POPCORN scented candles from my one sister for Christmas and WOW...do they ever smell good! Good enough to try to eat!

I am weird......or weirder....

one reason to avoid eating Pizza Hut pizza.....

Pizza Hut’s cheese supplier, Leprino Foods, uses the silicone-industrial chemical Polymethylsiloxane in their “Pizza Cheese”. It is not approved by the FDA as a food ingredient; it is intended for use as an anti-foaming agent for boiler water.

In its patented manufacturing process, Leprino Foods sprays “cheese granules” with Polymethylsiloxane, resulting in a concentration of the chemical 90 times higher even than is permitted in boiler water.

The Polymethylsiloxane is used to avoid a normal seven-day aging process for cheese, and allows for a higher food starch content. Without the aging process, cheese can form bubbles during cooking, which blacken and burst. A high starch content also normally causes bubbles. Since Polymethylsiloxane is an anti-foaming agent, it prevents the bubbles from forming.

I like......

things to smell clean....and look clean.....am I becoming a clean freak? Is that really such a bad thing if I were?

I have discovered I like to smell a slight smell of bleach.....in my dishwater......in the house. It smells clean. NOT a lot....nothing over powering.....but it smells so nice and clean!

I have realized....my favorite type of towel is the biggest, fluffiest, thickest, cleanest smelling WHITE towel you can find! I have tried the color towels.....but always gravitate towards the white! The colored towels to me do not smell the same...look the same.....they definitely do not feel the same...at least to me. Maybe I am weird....but I am probably going to go out and buy a bunch more WHITE WHITE WHITE towels and wash cloths!

I have realized I am becoming slightly germ phobic.....and just want to not breathe in the air that other people have been busy hacking and blowing in....I know that sounds bad......but today when I took my son to the dentist there were a million kids all hanging around coughing and hacking and sneezing and blowing.....YIKES! I suddenly wished I had a mask on my face and buried my head into my coat as far as I could without looking totally weird. I kept my hands on my book or in my pockets.....and after we left I immediately had to go to bathroom to wash up. I think I did little actual breathing while in the waiting room. I mean I did not take deep breaths. I am comfortable breathing in the air in the environment of my choosing.

I have discovered I really am not overly fond of cat hair. I can sweep every day and still don't get it all.....that sort of bugs me....

what does this say about me? Nothing I guess.......just some weird or maybe not.....preferences..personal tastes..opinion.......

anyway....I am tired......and bedtime is NOW!
