100 Things – 91-94

March 9, 2011 Filed Under: 100 Things

Oh my gosh! I didn’t mean to disappear from my blog like that.  Since I’ve made Tuesdays and Thursdays writing-only days, I’ve had a little trouble trying to cram the rest of the week into Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  But I am getting tons of writing done.  Which is good, since I’m, you know, a writer and all.  I am, however, a writer who does not have a single clean towel in the house at the moment.

Anyway, to get back into the swing of things, here’s a few more items for my 100 things list.

91. When I’m putting away dishes, glasses have to go in the cabinet upside down and mugs go in right side up.  I don’t know why.

92. I sleep with four pillows.  I know that’s ridiculous.

93. When I was a kid, I used to kiss frogs.  Just in case.

94. My dream car is a 1970’s era Karmann Ghia, but since I never learned manual, I wouldn’t actually be able to drive it.  Plus, the dogs wouldn’t fit.

    I’ve never even heard of that kind of car!

    My glasses go upside down, so do my mugs- it’s the way my mom did it, too. Something about any bugs not being able to get in…

    I love the kissing frogs thing- that should be a back-story to one of your characters someday.

    Well it’s certainly not too late to learn how to drive your dream car.

    Courtney – Google it. It’s really cute!

    Jen – That makes sense, really. :)

    Mickey – I love how you have completely over-estimated my driving abilities. Thank you!

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
