Bits and Pieces

Just some random thoughts…

  • Ready for the TV season to wind down. I’m looking forward to reading more this summer, watching more movies from Netflix, and playing our Wii and my DS. Actually, we’re working on Season 1 of Alias on DVD. Only on the second or third disc though.
  • First, we have to find out who wins Survivor (Sun night) and Idol (Wed night?). Who do you think will win? Oh, and we have to find out what happens to Jack Bauer on 24!
  • Having fun playing word games on my DS. Frustrated by playing Bejeweled on Facebook.
  • Also having fun recently playing Phase 10. Fun game!
  • Trying to walk more. I signed up for a challenge thingie to walk for the month of May. The challenge prompted me to walk 30 minutes, 5 times a week, but I only committed to 3x a week, for 30 minutes a time. I’m trying to walk more, either at the park with a friend, or on my treadmill. Not doing it daily, but still trying to get at least 150 minutes a week. Unhappy because so far the scale has not budged, not even down a single pound. Boo, hiss.
  • Have read 25 books so far this year, all either from my TBR pile or borrowed from others. I haven’t reviewed or mentioned any book here, but have been trying to keep up at GoodReads. I set foot in our library for the first time all year, today (Sat). I tried to reserve a book online (the new Debbie Macomber one, Summer on Blossom Street) and it said “privilege has expired”. So I had to go in and renew my library card. Also checked out three books. I absolutely cannot walk into the library and not come out with at least one book.
  • We’ve been to two movies over the last two weekends. Star Trek last week and Wolverine today. Star Trek is amazing. Awesome. And Fantastic, too 😀
  • Life is busy, but life is good! I just need to blog more often, LOL!

    What’s for Dinner?

    I fix breakfast food for supper regularly at our house. Both Tim and I love breakfast food, of all kinds. He grew up having a large, homemade breakfast every morning. His mom got up before they got on the bus and fixed the works for him – homemade biscuits, eggs, bacon or sausage, grits, etc. Tim would *love* to have that every morning, but I’m just not a morning girl. So I asked him years ago if he’d compromise, and have that kind of food once or twice a week, for supper. He did, and we have breakfast food often.

    I go through stages on making pancakes and waffles, in addition to the other typical breakfast fare. I’m in a waffle stage right now. However, my waffle maker is going on 14 years old, and I am thinking it might be time for a new one. If you have a waffle iron that you use and like, would you let me know the brand, and how long you’ve had it? I don’t really care if it’s round versus square, a belgian one or not, I just want one that works well, preferably easy to clean, and hopefully can store upright (when you fold it up, it has a base that will allow it to be stored vertically instead of horizontally). Mine is an Oster brand, and I’m not even sure they make them anymore. It works ok, but it is not browning as well as it used to. Plus, the no-stick is long gone. I spray the iron each time with cooking spray before pouring on the batter. Or else, I have a mess on my hands!

    Oh, and since I’ve been on a roll lately, let’s do a poll too:
