fish hooking

when i was in my youth, i held a job at costco. i worked as a receipt checker with a fabulous team of young adults and mentally challenged elderly folk. although double checking long receipts with a highlighter was rewarding, the best part of my job was a customer named arbit adams. i didn't know much about him, none of us did. i haven't seen arbit in some years, but i still think about him from time to time. and wonder how many prostitutes are dead in his basement.

where are you arbit?

self-realization #1

when i see an animal out and about (this includes, but is not limited to dogs) i smile at them and sometimes when in a particularly good mood, say hello.

once said animal has passed and is on his way, i wonder what the day has in store for him.
and if his day is going to be more exciting than mine.

blog-realization #1

sometimes i think the time and date on this blog aren't even trying.

the middle child

in case you were ever wondering what the saddest bite of the day is, the answer is lunch.
the last bite of lunch is the saddest bite of the day.

that being said, i plan ahead and try to leave the absolute best bite tasting bite for last, (you know, a little bit of everything on the fork) but alas, it never works. i'm always sad. i guess it's because lunch is over and i'm still hours away from dinner.

lunch you're a constant disappointment.

Goldfish and cookies

recently i got an email from a reader named jan from durholwn, north carolina. she's a loyal reader and great gardener. i thought i'd share the email with you:


Lynn,

First off I justed wanted to let you know that my kids and I adore your blog.
Also, i wanted to know how you get your chocolate chip cookies so soft and
chewy? Please Lynn! What's your secret?!?!

A reader, but Friend first,
Jan from Durholwn, North Carolina




well jan, the secret to my cookies is the same as the secret to why my goldfish, taco is still alive after 4 years.
pay little to close attention to them. cookies have natural instincts. they'll figure it out on there own.

my view on life



or at least from my desk.
