The Midnight Oil is Olive

I can thankfully say that I have NOT been dreaming lately.

I have also been sleeping like the dead until I need to be at work or I have at least slept nine hours, whichever comes first. According to my hubby, I have also been snoring. Which results in a dry raspy throat that takes an hour and two glasses of water to make go away. I hope I don't swallow any spiders. Ick. Neurotic, no?

I have had a lot going on of course, and I finally had to scratch the itch that is blogging. Hi hi. Though the next two hours will never pass by quickly enough for me. I want my Foo Fighters CD and I'm really excited about the midnight showing of Batman Begins tonight. As I had to explain myself to the hubby, I never got to see any of the others in the theatre, I was way too young- so this is kinda redeeming part of my lacked childhood. I know he wonders how I managed to have a childhood that didn't look like Pebbles Flintstone.

I will be updating the Book Log today with two reviews. Check my profile for the linkie.

I hate fast food at this point, including doughnuts. They put way too much crap in them and take it for granted that the customers will suck it up and not eventually pick up a clue that a lot of the things that ail them are the chemicals that are stuffed in their custard pie or french fries. Check out the BK Veggie burger:

Oh yeah, and watch out for those new 'healthy sides' for your kids-

MOTT'S® STRAWBERRY FLAVORED APPLESAUCE
Apples, Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Strawberry Puree, Sugar, Natural Flavors, Ascorbic Acid, Red #40.

Problems- apple sauce is sweet in and of itself, it doesn't need teeth-rotting sugar, or natural flavors... its supposed to taste like applesauce. I'll give two hints though, that flavors is their way of sneaking in flavor enhancers nothing really along the way of natural or healthy. And did you know that over half the corn crops in the U.S. are legally genetically modified? Your modified corn startch has been monkied around with to carry not only natural pest control, but to make their own flavor enhancers as well. Peachy, eh?

Ranting aside, I made lots of pancakes last week. And I did them all from scratch and twice without eggs. And they turned out perfect. Oh yeah, and I didn't use butter in the pan, I used olive oil. They were great. I'm starting to learn that stuff is all purpose GREAT. w00t!!

Here was where I was going to write BRIEFLY about the Netflix movies the past month.. but that got too big and got shunted to the Entertainment section.

And the book blog will have to wait til tomorrow since I got carried away, but I wrote post it notes so I'm sure I'll have plenty to say.. lol.
