Quote of the Day:

So. I cooked again last night. I made fried pork chops. I think that had to be one of my favorite meals when I was a kid growing up. Because I was lazy and didn’t want to take the time to make real mashed potatoes, I made instant. They are SO not as good as the real deal. There’s nothing like real mashed potatoes. Even though I’m a big believer of cooking out of a box, I am NOT, however, a fan of instant mashed potatoes.
I decided yesterday I would polish up the first three chapters of the historical, finish the synopsis, and go ahead and submit it to my editor. I figure I should go ahead and get a feel for it and see if it’s worth finishing. I worked on the synopsis off and on, never really getting to that completion point I wanted to get to. I tried to work on the book last night, but instead found myself watching four episodes of Sex and the City. What can I say – I’m a junkie.
Then I shut off the show at 11 and tried to go to sleep. I laid there until 12:30 when I was just starting to doze. You know – getting into that happy place… when my husband’s cell phone rang. Work was calling. Again! ARGH!
Finally got back to sleep and had weird-ass dreams. Didn’t want to wake up this morning and I feel almost hungover. A sleep hangover. That’s like the worst.
Anyhoo…Sweetie Boy had “Pajama Day†at school. Since the weather is now frigid (instead of warm like yesterday!) I didn’t want to send him to school in his super-warm footy pjs. Instead, I put jeans on him and his other pj top. As we were getting ready to leave, he said, “Mom, you forgot to change my shirt.†When I reminded him it was PJ Day, he said, “Oh, right right.â€
:hehe:
Must dash. Things to do.
Mmmm! Fried pork chops! I had forgotten how good those are! Must find time to try those again. Although, I spend more of my time trying to get out of cooking. And now with American Idol, Lost, and Invasion starting up again, I have to figure out how to do it all – and write!
