Rice, Broccoli, and a Palm Tree

Holy cow, I feel like it has been weeks since I last posted (it was only two days ago).  I am starting to realize that just a day or two away from the blogging world feels like an eternity.

For lunch today I wanted two things.

Rice Pilaf

and Steamed Broccoli.

Random? Yes.  But still good.

The directions tell you to add olive oil or butter to the water.  I skipped that step and the world didn’t collapse — I am guessing it wasn’t that important.

I drank tea.

Laverne slept.

Clementine stared.

Did you know that Clementine’s tail looks like this?

My mom takes her to the ‘salon’ for a haircut every few months.  She is sporting the Lion Cut.  The ‘beautician’ shaves everything expect for her legs, head, and tip of her tail.  Doesn’t that sort of look like a palm tree?

Is anybody else amazed at how many hours dogs and cats can sleep?  Really, I bet Laverne is awake for a total of 4 hours each day — that only 28 hours a week!

This weekend my Aunt told me about Stop and Smell the People. I hope you take part in the Wave of Gratitude tomorrow at noon EST.  Change your facebook status and/or tweet a few words of gratitude for our troops.  I will be on the road tomorrow with my dad and I will not be able to post a reminder but I will be tweeting.

I am off to make a fun treat for tomorrow … stay tunned …
