5 Haikus 4 U

July 17, 2007 by Maren 11 Comments

Thinking about life.
I seem to be in a rut.
Monotony’s here.

Odd thought about work:
Too many hands in the pot
for easy problem.

Toaster oven broke.
Why were three people needed?
I won’t understand.

*************************

Sad to be finished.
One more week of Ultimate.
LOVE trying new things

Don’t like my haikus?
Maybe you should create one.
Monotony’s gone.

Living in the age of modern conveniences…

Tonight I stopped by Kroger to buy popcorn.  Unlike the majority of Americans, I pop my popcorn on the stove, the good ole’ fashion way.  For some reason, I enjoy it more.  That, and it’s cheaper .  The gal at the check out counter was about 18 and fascinated. Here’s the conversation.

Gal: Cool, Popcorn!?!?

Me: Mmmhhmmm…

Gal:  Do you cook this on your STOVE?

Me: Mmmmhmmm.  You put it in a pan with oil, put the popcorn in the pan, put the lid on, turn it on medium, and it cooks it within a few minutes.

Gal: WOW.

I think by her fascination that she expected me to wear a dress, a bonnet, and ride off in my horse-drawn carriage. 🙂  Life, Gotta love it!

Happy Sunday!

It’s like giving a free Big Mac at Burger King…

So tonight, I ran a couple of errands.  One was to the Post Office.  Outside the post office, there was something quite disturbing– a Fedex mail drop.  Is this conceding that another product/service is better than yours?

It’s like a Burger King serving Big Macs.

Or a Starbucks serving Dunkin Donuts’ Coffee.

Or a Blockbuster having a Netflix return station.

Some things in life will always be a mystery.

Here’s to Thursday!

(and a sidenote to mom: as I type this blog, I can’t help but think, “WELCOME TO FEDDDDDDDDEX!”) 🙂

Oklahoma & Peter Cottontail

Michael and I celebrated our sixth year anniversary this weekend!  Michael was so sweet to leave me clues to solve throughout the entire week!  With me, if something requires solving, it is more fun!  Perhaps that is why I’ve loved games my whole life!  On Monday, he gave me a clue on parchment paper that he’d toasted to make it look old.  On Tuesday, he emailed me a clue where to find flowers!  On Wednesday, he gave me a clue–a phone number in code–to call Krista for Friday night date info, on Thursday he just made me wonder and ask where my clue was all day, and on Friday he made me a cryptogram telling me where to find my card!  He put the card high up in the tree; so after I got off work, I’m sure the neighbors wondered why I was dancing and around the tree, broom in hand, batting at the limbs–Maybe they thought it was some type of ritual dance.

We went to see Rodgers & Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA at a dinner theater over the river in Clarksville, IN!  Michael and I had gone to another rendition of the musical while were dating.  I lived in Oklahoma at the time, and he came to visit me during summer break.  There, they have a permanent ampitheater for the musical, running every summer evening.  So…we had seen another company do the play before, BUT this production, we agree was a favorite–done better than Oklahoma’s Oklahoma!  The food was good, too, if you like down-home type cookin’.

In other random news, we found the cutest rabbit’s nest in our back yard!  I’ve never see one before.  I noticed a patch of fur and grass, and thought an animal of sorts had eaten a rabbit dinner there.  If you touched it (in my case stepped on it), though, it moved from beneath!  Michael pealed back the fur and grass to discover all the little bunnies.  The picture doesn’t show all of the bunnies, but one little Peter Cottontail posed for the camera!–eyes are still closed!  The mother conveniently positioned this nest 3 feet away from our newly planted garden!  Uh Oh! Side note: After doing some Googling, I found out that mothers pull out their own hair to create the nest…how painful!
