Hump - day

Today is payday and poor again after paying my rent and cell phone bills. 

Okay, let me clarify - I'm not really poor, I only have limited funds to last me until payday at the gym (on the 9th)... oh well...  I can manage.  I always do.

Did I post this photo yet?

It's a neighborhood tree that I really like...  All of the leaves are gone now after the crazy weather we had the past few weeks.  It's lit at night and is very beautiful in the fall... maybe next year I'll take a photo with a better camera (I used my iphone on this one).



I'm not feeling like typing much this morning...   maybe someday soon I'll take a break from the blog.  Maybe that's what I'll do in the new year - I won't leave forever, but maybe a week off might be interesting...Maybe I'll go running in the mornings instead (now that's funny!)

Speaking of running - my knee is feeling considerably better and my foot is still hurting (but not nearly as much as it has in the past)...  Maybe 2012 will be the year when I get back into gear health-wise...  I can only hope.

I think that's all I have today... carry on!

Ready

One day down, four to go!

I had a very nice lunch with one of my friends from Vermont yesterday.  It's strange to see people outside of that context, but nice to remember the creative juices that did exist (even if it was only just a few months ago).

Being back at the gym was nice too.  A woman came up to me last night and said she would take my class but she had a groin injury (ouch) - but she appreciated my energy.  That was nice.

This morning I am drinking coffee out of my new Ikea mug

I got it when I signed up for my Ikea Family card while I was there on Sunday - it's a rewards card which will get me a free cup of coffee whenever I go to Ikea...

I look really happy don't I?  don't pay attention to the hair - I washed it last night and let it dry in a towel...  then I slept on it.

I am a bit crampy - yes yes yes - TMI  I know.... I can't help it... no filter.  No dates, no filter, no social life (outside of work and the gym).... Bah Humbug.

This is what my horoscope said today 

Today is a 7 -- Money problems don't define you. Take on more responsibility, and find another route. Devote yourself to excellence at work. Someone important is observing.

Hey, they know that I only have 162.00 in my checking account and 45 bucks in my savings account... aye aye aye.... maybe I'll get a big check in the mail.  Maybe I'll clean up my desk at work and they will give me the clean desk award...

Okay, I think that is all I have to report this morning... I'm thinking I may take my yoga attire to work with the possibility of going to class tonight... it's been about a month since I've gone... hmmmmm... it's worth considering.  I could use some more flexibility... and my armpits are freshly waxed.  You have to strike while the iron is hot.

Back to the Grind

It's back to work today.

Here's a recap of what happened yesterday.

I went to Ikea and got a new storage unit (which I got a big scratch in when I was dragging it across my floor) and a free coffee mug.  I have couch envy - there's a sofa I want, but I can't justify the expenditure just yet. 

I went over to my Dad's place and successfully found his key, his remote control and his iPad!  He had set down the iPad with his shoes... he must have been looking for something in his dresser drawer and set it down.  I can sense his frustration in forgetting things... we just got to go with the flow and take it one day at a time.  I think once he gets into assisted living he will be more comfortable and hopefully they will help him keep track of things in a better manner.

Last night I worked on organizing things around my place... it's a little bit messy but I'm trying to get stuff into the new storage unit and move things around... maybe someday my place will look presentable and people will actually come over when I invite them.

I will leave you this morning with a selection of photos I took at the San Diego Zoo back in 1975.  I keep them on a small table in my living room... I find them rather charming...

One more day...

I think I'm done with my pity party.

I was going to sleep in this morning but I only made it til 5:05 or something like that... what a waste.

On today's agenda?  I may go out to Ikea and pick up storage unit that is on sale... I got one when I moved in here and they are on sale for $19.99.  It will give me more storage space and hopefully keep things out of the way.

I will also most likely go over to my dad's again.  He called me yesterday and he had lost his keys again.  I guess the good thing is that at least he's in his place and not wandering the streets without the key...  Hopefully the move into assisted living will go smoothly and then he will be a little more put together because he will have the help he needs.

Yesterday while I was preparing for the party that was a flop I burnt my fingers while making chex mix.  Someday I might manage to cook something without hurting myself.

Maybe I'll try to find a Christmas tree today as well...  But really, what's the point of having a tree if nobody is going to see it... 

I was asked the other day what I did for fun.  I honestly don't know what I do for fun...  I am a dud.

well that was a waste (sort of)...

I don't have a lot of luck getting people to do things with me.

I suppose I shouldn't have picked the Apple Cup weekend...

No wonder I feel like a social leper...  2 out of 15?  if I were a cycle class they'd cancel me.

Not much time

I survived yesterday just fine... marshaled twice, ate breakfast, ate lunch, took a bath and went to bed... actually I did more than that, but I don't have enough time to tell you about it now.

I have to suck down my coffee and get off to my weigh in.

I will try to update more later today but I can't guarantee it!

Black (toenail) Friday

I ran.  My extra long second toes hurt...  My plantar fasciitis hurts... my knee is awesome though!

Overall Thanksgiving went really well.  I am the sole member of my family who saw everyone...  I think it might be nice if we could all get together, but it's a hard thing to do... and you know what they say. Be careful what you wish for.

This morning I am marshaling in the parade (I get to go through twice)... they didn't have enough people sign up so I am a trooper by default.  Then this afternoon I am meeting a friend from High School who is in town for the long weekend.  We weren't great friends in school, but we're facebook buddies and we have a similar mindset - he's a writer, I'm an artist... both warped. (and no, it's not a date - he's married)...  I know what you all were thinking... just stop.

I think my dating number stopped at three this year.  At least that's one more than last year right?

Another thing on my list today is getting my armpits waxed...  woot woot...

I can't buy anything today - I only have $72.00 in my checking account (well actually I have 200 something - but my gym paycheck hasn't clear the deposit hurdle...  oh well, what would I do with all that black Friday Crap.  I have no place to keep anything...

I think that is all I have to report this morning... I will most likely hit the shower in a few minute... even though I'm not shopping today, I did get up at 4:30 because I'm cool like that.

OH I FORGOT!   I think I may have issues eating pork so I may have to give up the bacon... it has been causing an upset tummy... booo!  I have to do some more investigations and will get back to you soon..

Happy Black Toenail Friday!

Gobble Gobble...

I am up and almost ready to head down to Olympia...

I did the dishes so I won't have to deal with that when I get home...

Things I am thankful for today...

my family - even though they drive me crazy sometimes...

my body - even though it drives me crazy sometimes....

my friends - even though they drive me crazy sometimes...

puppies.

So - I actually got to leave work early yesterday... I went to tour the apartment at my Dad's place and he's going to take it.  It is really nice and I think he will enjoy being able to move around a bit more...  that's a big relief for the entire family.  I'm thankful for that too...

I should probably drag on some running clothes and pile into the car...  I am not going to take a shower beforehand because that would be dumb.  I just need to make sure my hair looks cute.  You never know who might be there....

Turkeys.

Is it just me or is anyone else tired of service men dressing up as turkeys to surprise their children...  I guess when you've seen one turkey, you've seen them all.

I am ready for the long weekend. 

This afternoon I am checking out the potential new apartment of my father...  it should be nice.  He sounded pretty excited about it... (as excited as my father could be).

Here are a few photo's that my sister took the other day... I want to move in there...

There were some other photos but these show you the view (of Greenlake) and the built ins.  That's my Dad in the view shot.  He's sporting his new walker.  It has made a world of difference in his mobility.

.......

I am teaching tonight... I am thinking that it might be quiet at the club tonight, but you never know.

Last night I did my laundry and I bought some snacks for Saturday...  I also made the mistake of overbuying at Trader Joe's and then trying to carry it all home IN paper bags, WHILE holding and umbrella...  while I was walking home my shoe came untied too.... it was challenging, but I made it.


I am hoping that today goes quickly... woot woot!

Rainy rainy rainy...

A storm has hit the area and it's icky outside.

I have to go to the dentist this morning and get my teeth cleaned so I get to go out into it... blech.

My headache is still here (did I tell you I have one?)... I think my neck is out of whack.. but I've hit the max of visiting my chiropractor so if I want to go it's going to cost me more money.

Poop.

Last night at the gym I had a full class so that was nice... the fans are not working in the cycle area so that kind of sucks... we have just one big fan and I put the one that I usually have pointed on me at the other side of the class that didn't have a good blast of air...  I was really sweaty and gross after class.... it reminded me of the old days when I used to take the class and was perched right in front and center of class...

What else???  Tomorrow I am going to my Dad's place to take a tour of an apartment in the assisted living floor.  I saw photos of it yesterday and it looks really nice.  I hope all the planets align and he decides it's a good thing for him to move into it.  We (my family) all know it's a good idea and hopefully he will see that it's the best thing.  I like the apartment - I would live there if they'd let me...  and have someone help me put on my socks... that'd be cool.

Tonight I have laundry on my list.  I know that sound really exciting doesn't it?  I am running out of workout clothes and I have to have some pants to wear tomorrow when I teach.  Maybe I will get a bee in my bonnet and do some picking up.  The apartment isn't that bad, but it can always use some tidying up.

Man - I'm full of it this morning... I got a message last night from one of my high school friends who is going to be in town over the weekend... he teaches English in Tennessee... we are going to meet up for lunch (or something similar) at the Wedgewood Broiler on Friday.  My schedule just keeps filling up...  hmmmmm... oh well.  I can rest when I retire.

I think that really is all I have to tell you this morning.

Stay dry!

Better

I slept nine hours last night - after I had taken a three hour nap... I feel much better this morning.

I am looking forward to the short week - even though I have a dentist appointment tomorrow...

let me lay it out for you...

Monday work/teaching
Tuesday work/slacking
Wednesday work/teaching
Thursday Running/eating/sleeping
Friday Parade Marshaling/Cleaning/Cooking/armpit waxing
Saturday ww/cleaning/entertaining
Sunday absolutely nothing!

It makes it easier for me to lay it all out here... I bet I'm missing something but that's alright.. at least I have an idea of what's going on.

I can't think of anything else I need to tell you this morning...  I  have a bit of a headache... maybe it's because I slept a lot yesterday...

I like puppies!

Jenny is a little tired...

I stayed up over 20 hours yesterday.  My class is going to be really impressed this morning when I tell them...  it was pretty much nonstop throughout the day.  I think I sat on the sofa for about a half an hour in the afternoon, but that's about it.

Today I teach and then I have an instructor meeting this afternoon.  I will attempt to do some cleaning tonight in preparation of having people over next weened.

Last night I had a great time with old friends - we ate yummy stuff (including yummy pot stickers made by yours truly) and talked about aging, feet, kids, and life in general... kind of fun.

I think that's all I have to share this morning... now it's time to surf through the Sunday paper!

Here we go!

I made it through the week... now I'm up early and I've already managed to make the filling for potstickers and coffee....  I went to bed before 9:00 last night... it felt good... 

I have a lot to do today and I think I am prepared...  now if my body will just cooperate.... dear feet, don't hurt me too much.

I am crossing my fingers that having such a busy week will have reflected nicely in my efforts to get back to goal...  if it hasn't though I will be okay with it...

Well,  I have got to run.

Here's my shirts...

This is what my t-shirts look like as art...  I will get better shots later, but this will do for now.

Can I just tell you that I am exhausted?  It's been a rough week...  I'm supposed to make dumplings tonight for a party I'm going to on Saturday, but I'm not sure I'm going to be up for it at the end of the day...  Last night I passed out on the sofa just before The Office ended... I guess I'll have to re-watch it on dvr sometime...

All I have in my trajectory is the bath I'm going to take when I get home tonight... 

My mind keeps wandering... I think I shall focus on my coffee and getting to work a little on the early side...

Just when I thought...

I didn't think I could really get any busier than Tuesday but I was wrong...  it's just been one thing after another at work...  but the good news is that I don't have any spare time to shove food in my mouth all willy nilly... that's good.

All I can do this morning is just sit here...  I would really like to go back to bed, but that's not going to happen... it's going to be another busy day today...  we've got a big meeting at our office tomorrow so I've got to get the place cleaned up along with my other work...  ooof...


Tonight I will probably end up cleaning my place... Friday night I am going to attempt to make some sort of dumplings for a party I'm going to on Saturday... of course I have never made dumplings so it should be interesting...  hmmm... I'm always up for a challenge though.

What else?  I'm thinking I should run around Greenlake on Saturday morning... there's a training run for the Jingle Bell Run, I don't think I really need it, but I do need to do some sort of exercise on Saturday morning before the rest of my hectic day...  (WW, running?, Big Brother Clothing party, birthday party...)...  Sunday is going to be busy as well...

I guess that is good...  I'm looking forward to having a short week next week - although it's bound to be busy...  it will be nice to sleep in (although I can't sleep in until Sunday morning - the 27th...)  that's funny... planning ahead a week and a half to sleep in...

I will leave you all with this photo from Vermont (I wish I could go back...).

Gosh darn it's busy!

We've only made it two days into the week and I am ready for a break. 

Last night I found myself with a semi-free evening so I spent it going shopping for the office... what's up with that?

When I got home I did some cleaning around the apartment...  I am going to have some friends over the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I need to get things in order...   I remember when I was growing up I used to help a coworker of my dad's clean her condo... I now know why she paid me... it sucks to do it yourself and it's hard work...  I am almost always exhausted at the end of the day and too stinking busy on the weekends.

What I really need to do is get some help in organizing my studio area...  I have a friend who's an organizer, but she lives in Philly... that won't work...

Tonight I teach and then I come home and collapse...

I'm still digging the new hair - if only I could get rid of my upper belly which has crept on me since my injury plagued month early on this year, I might feel semi-attractive more often...  oh, I would also like it if my foot would stop hurting.  Knee is better, foot still hurts.  Maybe I'll see about drug options for the foot...  hmmm... nothing like getting a shot in the heel right?

Here are some of the t-shirts that made it into the show... I don't know why they are rotated funny and I don't have the energy to figure out how to fix them...  oh well...

carry on.

Too good to pass up.

Check out this video I found on youtube...

I can fight this feeling...

I have been in an incredibly good mood the past few days and hopefully it will continue for at least a few more days...

I like being in a good mood.

Yesterday I felt moderately attractive which is funny... who feel's moderately attractive???

I'm not even going to let the fact that Mr. Clunky woke me up at 3:30 deter the good mood...  he's even clunking around now...  Does he ever sleep?

What else?  I had a full class last night which is always nice.. I don't want them to cancel my class due to lack of attendance...  it could happen.  I think now that it's getting cold outside people will be hitting the gym.

Work is work... the day went relatively fast yesterday and I didn't have time to stuff my face - GOOD NEWS! 

Things are plodding along, I feel good (minus the foot and calves), I look adequate, I am eating right...

I just need someone to come help me clean my apartment and set up my studio...  it's only been a year!

I need coffee!  Talk at you tomorrow!

Here it goes again

This weekend was busy and I'm not really glad it's over, but I'm okay with going back to work if I must.

I successfully trimmed my pot so I am in the ceramics business again... it's not very pretty, but it will do.

I haven't heard how the opening went down in California, hopefully they will post some photos and I can see my t-shirts in all their glory...

I now have cute hair (not that I didn't before, but it finally is at a stage where I feel good about it)...  I have to spend a little bit more time on it this morning...  I can't stick around long.

Who knows what this week will bring... next weekend is going to be another busy one...  What happened to me?  I have a life although it's not exactly the way I always envisioned it...  oh well... I guess this will do.

Oops I forgot.

I didn't post yesterday...  I was too stinking busy.
Gone from 6:30 to 7:30 ish...  I am happy to report that I have cute hair..

here.

I'm a little washed out.

Here I am looking like Kitty Forman

Crazy Eyes!

That's it....  I had a pretty good day yesterday... spent a lot of it doing laundry at momma's house.  I got to hang out with the dogs which was fun and then I went to a card making party... that was fun too...  stretching my socializing muscles...

Today I don't know exactly what I'm going to do but is should involve writing cover letters for jobs.

I will probably also hit up my Dad and see what he needs...  I should also try to trim my pot that I threw on Wednesday...

Too much to do...

But for now I will enjoy my coffee, CBS Sunday morning, and my newspaper...

TGIF

I am ready for the weekend.
The end.

No - Just kidding.  It's been one of those weeks that I'm glad is almost over.  It has been getting busy at work (okay, I'm not busy - one of my co-workers ie bosses is busy)... when "it" get's busy "it" gets stressed out and makes those of us around "it" stressed out.. not always fun....  I'd rather be doing laundry.

Tomorrow is the opening reception of the show in which my t-shirts are in... hopefully there will be some photographs taken so I can see what it looks like.

I will once again attempt to go to yoga tonight... but I really need to do laundry...  maybe I could leave early and go to the 4:30 yoga class!  I doubt that will happen, but you never know.

Mr. Clunky started talking really loud at 2:30 this morning...  grrrr....  I really want to kick his ass.

On Wednesday night I threw a pot which I am trying to get leather hard so I can go and trim it this Sunday...  I forgot how much I like throwing pots...  I need more free time and supplies so I can do it some more...  oh to glaze things and fire things...

oh - to be young again... oh to be beautiful... oh, to be independently wealthy...

Thursday!

Last night I threw a pot.  It's wasn't a really pretty pot, but I remembered why I liked ceramics in the first place...  it's now sitting on my card "studio" table in my living room waiting to become leather hard so I can trim it and then be fired...

This morning I am going to the dentist to get my crown put on my tooth...  it will be nice to chew on the other side of my mouth after two weeks of one-sided chewing...

Tonight I am teaching cycle too... 

I am still thinking it would be nice for a vacation... 

Saturday I am getting my hair cut for the first time in many many months....  It's about time... it's looking scary folks...

That's it.  I give up. 

I finished the book I had on tape - it was pretty good...  maybe I will get another book on tape and continue my streak...

Back to the coffee... see you later!

Oversleepage

I accidentally slept an extra 25 minutes this morning... it felt kind of good actually... If I could I would just take the day off - but I can't.

I don't have much to report... tonight I am going to go hang out with my very first ceramics instructor while he teaches his class....  I'm going to observe and maybe glean some tips and tricks... maybe I will even touch some clay and throw a pot.

Man, sleeping in has left me with only ten more minutes to chill out and drink my coffee...

oh well.

2 out of 4 changed...

I came home last night to two out of four light bulbs changed... and the note I taped on the front of the mailboxes was gone...

Ahhh.... I like progress.

I got a rejection email for a show I applied to... that's nothing new... I'm good at rejection.

I am thinking I might go to yoga tonight.  It's been a while since I've been and I need to get back into the swing of things... however, I should do laundry at some point... oh the decisions to make.

What else is going on... the Duggars of TLC fame are going to have another baby... they have 19 already...  hmmm... at least someone is having sex.  That's good...

Hmmmm.....  last week I was sent a link to a story on barefoot running and I decided to do something that I don't normally do.  READ A BOOK!  okay, I'm not actually reading the book, but I'm listening to it on cd.  It's called Born to Run and it's by Christopher McDougall - it's actually pretty good....  I've also taken to wearing my minimalist tennis shoes to see if that helps my plantar fasciitis...  it seems to not hurt as much.  The idea is that your feet like to have the "feel" of the hard ground underneath them.  When you wear cushy, motion controlled shoes your feet have no idea how to react and they hurt (I don't know if I explained that correctly but I'm sure you get the idea)...  I'm just going to go with it.  See if it works..  at this point I'll do almost anything.

What else?

I don't know - I think that's about it.... I miss the old days of when I was in school and my blog posts would go on and on and on because I didn't have to be anywhere at any particular time...  oh, those were the days.

They are gone.

I am crying on the inside...

Here we go again...

It is Monday!  or should I say monday (in little letters)...  I don't have much to report...  I'm going to do the same things this week that I did last week (pretty much) with the exception of dropping by one of my old ceramic's classes at Shoreline Community College on Wednesday night.  I might even try to throw myself a pot!  I just have to remember to take an antihistamine before I do it so I don't swell up like a balloon.

Is it too soon for me to be wishing it were the holiday's (and time for long weekends?)... don't get me wrong.  I really like my job but I would like a few days off to do nothing!

wouldn't that be nice?

I think that's all I know this morning... it's one of those days I'm not really into typing...

Have I mentioned lately that boys suck.  If I haven't, they do.

What's up?

Today I am going to meet up with a friend of my ww friends in Chicago.  She moved here back in August and we're finally going to meet.

We are going to have brunch.  I like brunch... also, if it's with a new ww friend I'll definitely stay on track...  maybe.

Yesterday I went to Starbucks in the afternoon and organized some of my teaching applications.  Today I am going to do my best to start writing cover letters...  its just hard getting started sometimes.

My feet aren't hurting as much - that's cool...  I've been wearing my barefoot running shoes trying to get my feet fixed.  I think they feel better... 

I'm feeling like it might be a good day...

Weekendish

It's the weekend...

I am having issues with the tummy this morning.

I am looking forward to not doing a lot today...

That is if the crampyness goes away...

maybe I'll troll for men at Greenlake?

Maybe I'll clean...

Maybe I will overcome my social anxiety and go out to an art opening tonight...

Maybe I'll just take a long bath and go to bed at 8:30.

PMS is for lovers...

What?

Good news!  I am still ovulating!  I know you are thinking why is she sharing this?  I don't know - you should all know by now that I don't really have a filter... I think that's why I'm still single... no - there's many reasons why I'm still single... social awkwardness...  depression.... poor self body image...  low self esteem.... fear of rejection...  fear of commitment....  the list could go on and on...  the no filter is just a small part of it...

More good news!  I did dishes last night.  Now I just need go through my junk mail and recycle things and take the garbage out.

I am happy to report that my t-shirts made it to California - here is a link to where they are going to be...
at least I have that one thing going for me... my work in a show...

I have to get my act together and apply for teaching positions... I've got a bunch printed out, but I haven't really had the time to get them all together.  Maybe tomorrow I will gather everything up and head off to the Montlake library and work on applications...  I tend to work better when It's quiet...

I think that's all I have to talk about this morning.

This is the note I taped up by my mailboxes the other day...

Try not to be cranky

I try really hard not to be cranky... it doesn't work most of the time though...

It's just the little things that piss me off...  I finally taped a note up in the lobby of my building asking if they'd change the lights that are out.  I said they could leave them out and I would change them myself..  how hard can it be.

Here's another thing I'm cranky about. 

My calf.

Every morning I wake up and it's so stiff that I can't walk...  it makes me want to scream!  but I won't ... I wouldn't want to wake up Mr. Clunky.

Tonight is First Thursday.  I asked a few of my friends if they wanted to go.  They either don't have time or don't want to go.

I am a social leper.

hey - I'm ranting!  This is the essence of my blog in the first place... woo hoo.... okay, now I have something to be happy about.

Now - I just bought a voucher for a dozen cupcakes at Pinkabella... they won the best in Western Washington Poll for best cupcake (although I'm a big fan of Trophy cupcake)... I figured I'd give them a try.  I have an outing to go to in few weeks.  I think I'll take them there...

Here's the next segue - my gym won the best in Western Washington Washington poll as well...

No Comment.

Happy Thursday.  Go eat cupcakes.

Not much to complain about today - except the lightbulbs

Yesterday turned out to be an alright day...  I got a call yesterday afternoon letting me know what my car was done already... that was fast AND it's beautiful...  it's too bad that the rest of my car doesn't look that good...  maybe someday when I have money saved up (yeah, like that's going to happen) I can get the other dings fixed...

here it is - it's as soft as a baby's bottom!

from the photo it looks like it's a different color, but it's not... in the light is just looks that way... it's really pretty...  hopefully nobody will run into it.

What else do I know???

One of my bosses brought in leftover Halloween candy in and it's that gosh darn tootsie roll mix that contains mini boxes of Dots.  I didn't eat any...  just know they are there is challenging thought.  I've made it nine weeks, I can keep going.

My T-shirts are down in California but they are still in Fedex custody...  Hopefully the curator will be around today to sign for the package... at least I'm not paying for the delivery - right?

hmmmmm.....

It's really only Wednesday?  hopefully today will go quickly...  I'm ready for the weekend again!

What now?

It's November.  Really?  It's hard to believe...

I am going to take this moment to complain (I know - surprise surprise...).... the lights in my apartment buildings entryway are still out.  How hard is it to change a light bulb??  four light bulbs to be exact!  I just don't get it.

Give me the freaking bulbs and a ladder and I'll do it.

I survived Halloween without eating any junk (except a piece of chocolate cake)...  I can only cross my fingers that there are not any left over treats brought into the office. 

Tonight I am subbing the cycle class at the gym... I think this will sort of make up for not teaching last night... 

I just saw on the Facebooks that Danny Bonaduce is moving to Seattle and he's starting a radio hosting job on KZOK... interesting choice.. too bad I don't listen to the radio...

here's some more tidbits...

I'm nine weeks Dot's free.

Kim Kardashian - divorced

Ann Curry - still my favorite

Grilled Cheese for dinner last night - yummy.

I love Tillamook Sharp Cheddar cheese...

I think I will now make myself a mini omelet for breakfast.  Have a great day!
