  Counting Time

  i don't know about anyone else but this could be the source of major contention between dubs in my halls.

  you had those who started their time as soon as you pulled out of the hall parking lot (me), those who counted from the first knock at the door or laundry mat visited, and the die hards who didn't start until they actually spoke to someone(my sister).

  my sister and i would go round and round about this, i finally just pretended to start my time when she did just to shut her up.

  I only felt guilty when prodded by the occasional talk otherwise I was fine fudging my hours.

  My sister used to make us all coordinate watches to make sure we all started at the same time.

  We are very different, can you tell?

  While I think Carrie Underwood looks fantastic in this video, I have some issues with the idea of women taking revenge that way.

  The only kind I've ever had was vanilla made in one of those electric ones you use outside with dry ice. lol yes it HAS been a long time! But I have good memories of fighting over the ice cream on the blade.

  Breaking Bread Together

  there's a picture in national geographic - of a family of several generations of sardinians eating together, eating bread together, that resonates deep in my soul.

  sardinians are some of the longest living people on the planet.

  something happens when people eat together, i am convinced of it.

  I put mustard as well as mayo in mine and a touch of vinegar then sprinkled with chili powder...and my daughter likes them with a bit of cilantro.
