What’s up with that?
Yesterday was Monday…the Monday before payday. Which just means in short that it’s penny pinching time especially when it comes to dinner. On those days we have the usual: Ramen noodles. I make a huge pot of it with grilled cheese sandwiches on the side or something along those lines (yesterday it was served with fried okra).
As we were preparing our meal, my son asked me a question: “Why are the noodles so long?” It got me to thinking, why are they so long? Wouldn’t it be easier t make them shorter? It should would make them a heck of a lot easier to eat as you wouldn’t have to spend so much time ‘slurping’ up the darn things up. They must be at least two feet long each. I bet you could circle the globe, laying them end to end, with just one package.
Maybe they are designed that way so that you have to take longer to eat therefore you mind and body get fuller faster…or something like that. Or does it have to do with packaging? Could it be a government conspiracy to cover up the Kennedy assassination? Is it all due to space aliens taking our cows?
Does anybody know?
About the crazy lady…
—I’m a middle aged Southern woman… deep south ‘Southern’. If I say or use the word ‘honey’ in a sentence (or in this case a review/comment ), It doesn’t mean I’m hitting on you. I’ve had many a person take this the wrong way. This word is simply just embedded in my vocabulary. Maybe hypnosis would help…
—I’m married…..happily married. I’ve been with my first and only husband now for almost 19years. Yes, I’m one of those people. And If one of us should ever become single, it’s because one of us took a shotgun to the other.
— We have five wonderful kids ( between the ages of 13 & 4) that I absolutely love and adore. Okay; so I may have mentioned once, maybe twice, that I wanted to auction them off on EBay. But they were driving me crazy those few days. You try living in a house with that many kids…
—I love photography. Who knows, one day I might make the move up to amateur photographer. It’s such a big step….
— I absolutely love to cook. What Southerner doesn’t? ‘Course if you were to ask my family, they would say that not everything I cook is fit for human consumption. It might give you consumption though….
— Lastly, I’m a stay at home mom…who the neighbors think is nutty as a fruit cake. So I might carry on converstations with my chickens…and yell at the birds stealing my pecans while dressed in my PJ’s. But I’ll have you know, I’ve only had the fire department over once since we’ve been in our new home. I was just tired of doing the laundry and thought it would be easier to just set fire to it all in the front yard and start over. I mean come on, who hasn’t done that?
