It's The Little Things
A few days ago, the books I'd ordered from Jupiter Gardens arrived. Okay, my books, I'd ordered--blush, blush--arrived.I'm going to digress for a minute. For those of you on the reading end, some publishers give you x amount of copies of your books and some sell them to you at a discounted price.
Now where was I? Oh yes, I'd just received my books. Imagine my surprise when I opened them and found this lovely postcard included inside.
I appreciated it on many levels. A) I think its beautifully done. B) I appreciate the publisher taking the extra step in the advertising realm to have it made up and C) I'm featured with my friend, Heidi Telpner.
It's the little things.

You're a vegetarian. Why don't you like okra?
I always have to grin when someone asks me, "You're a vegetarian, why don't you like okra?"
Or, "You're a vegetarian, why don't you like mushrooms?"
Or, "You're a vegetarian, why don't you like beets?"
Or, "You're a vegetarian, why don't you like celery?"
"You're a vegetarian, why don't you like....?"
And my response is, "You're a carnivore, err excuse me, a meat eater, why don't you like liver?"
Okay, some meat eaters out there do like liver but you get my drift. No matter whether its veggies or meat, there are just some foods its hard to cozy up to.
There were lots of veggies I wasn't that enamored of that I now enjoy:
Squash and olives.
Okay maybe that doesn't constitute lots but my horizons have expanded since I became a vegetarian. I now enjoy tofu. And a variety of cheeses including but not limited to pepper jack, feta, and white cheddar cheese.
So what foods have you learned to appreciate that you wouldn't have touched when you were younger?

"Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully. "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever." "And he has Brain." "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain." "I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never understands anything." Pooh and Piglet quote

Confessions of a Drawer Clutterer
Are you a drawer clutterer? Okay, this word probably isn't recognized by Webster, but if not I'll ask Amarinda Jones to put it in the Amarinda Dictionary.
Anyway, back to my question, are you a Drawer Clutterer? I'm horrible and if possible the hh is worse
Here's a Drawer Clutterer's dilemma: You can't find a place for...something...and unsure whether to keep it because you never know when you'll need it--though you probably won't--so...
.. you stick it in the first available drawer.
I look for my drawers to go on strike any day now. Since we've put our house on the market, I've been going through drawers, trying to relieve clutter and streamline. OMG. Its quite scary. And trying to get rid of anything gives me a headache. Many items elude my decision making process. Do I keep it? Do I put it in Goodwill? Do I trash it? Okay I don't use it, but it has sentimental value. But does it have enough sentimental value that I want to box it and later unpack it? And on it goes. I'm caught in the throes of my inability to make a decision.
What about you? Are you a drawer clutterer or do you deal quickly and ruthlessly deal with clutter?

"Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch it to be sure. ~ Murphy's Law
