Paper or ... glass?

-
I offered a glass of water to my sister-in-law last night. And like any normal person, I asked if she wanted it in a plastic or glass? She looked at me a little funny.
I am one of those people. I cannot, or will not, drink water out of glass unless I have to. And if I drink milk, it needs to be in glass, never, never in plastic. It's just wrong. Makes it taste funny. Now pop - that should be in plastic, but I can handle it in glass if it is ice cold. What about you?

    this just made my day because my self-crazy level feels slightly validated. Now, while I can't say I have issues with plastic and glass, I do have this drinking-issue. I cannot, and will not, drink cold drinks in coffee mugs. I swear it makes it taste different and well, gross. Everyone has always rolled their eyes at me but I can't imagine what they would say if I pulled the plastic vs. glass. I'm glad to know I'm not the only picky drinker out there.

    I'm a total iced tea girl. Drink it by the gallons - Tazo Zen mixed - with Tazo Awake - well, when I'm allowed to drink! :)

    It TOTALLY matters what glass. My fave is a plastic green 24 oz cup. It fits TONS of ice (which is very important to me) and it doesn't condense as much - I swear! - as other glasses. Plus, well, I love lime green - what a great color! I just don't like my tea so much in a glass cup (is that how you say it?!).

    Don't drink milk or soda, so not sure on those. But give me my plastic cup for my iced tea any day!

    What an interesting question!! Hmmm. I'm not very picky. Usually whatever cup happens to be clean and available. And if there's none, hubs & I have no reservations about sipping straight from the container. (We might have to curb that before we have kids!!) I will say, however, that iced tea almost ALWAYS goes in a plastic cup. Like Dina said, with LOTS of ice. Ice changes the taste of iced tea in a good way! The deciding factor on if I use a coffee cup for something is if I don't want a lot of drink. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm "wasting" a cup (more cup to wash, I reckon) if I don't fill it. So coffee cups get used for milk & OJ often during breakfast. We humans are strange little creatures, aren't we?

Success!

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Life is full of Surprises

So here's one picture from my birthday that I *forgot* to put on that post last month. Surprise! I have had mixed feelings about this for some time. But after my first doctor's appointment this week, I am much more positive about this big change in our lives. We finally told our other 4 what was going on. Now they understand, maybe, a little bit more why Mom is always on the couch sleeping. And they are super excited. I don't think they remember what is was like 4 years ago when the youngest was born and made SO much noise... Of course, she still makes a lot of noise, just a different kind.

People Watching

I love people watching. It can be so fun. So enlightening. So ... interesting. Do you ever make up stories about people you see? Or is this just a quirk of mine? My brain has to have something to think about while I drive! So each day I go to pick up The Boy from school, I pass all kinds of people. Today I saw the Postman who looks kind of like Hulk Hogan. Long blonde hair, mustache, buff arms. I think he is actually H.H. living here in our town, posing as a mailman to get away from the paparazzi. And then there's The Runner. This guy is either punching the air while he runs - shirtless most of the time- or rockin on his iTunes. Either way he usually looks like he's high on something. I wonder what he is training for. Today I saw a new intriguing sight. I passed by a man, running down the street with a Macy's bag in his arm. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, and tan Carhartt's; looked like he just gotten off work; he was running towards the work-truck, the kind with...
