my strange little world

Some of my favorite blog posts to read are those with short random snippets, so I've decided to explore that style myself. Thank you Lizzi, Brandi, BustySatan and Lora for being my muses.

I accidently bought "light" lager. Ughh. Should I put it out of its misery and toss it off the back porch?

Kayaking is my favorite hobby, because every time we get a few inches of rain I blow off all my chores and hit the rapids. It's nice to live in the moment, even if it's only for a moment.

I'm trying to lose a few pounds before my trip to Paris in November, so I downloaded an app to count calories called "lose it." It seems that the only way for me to trim up and maintain my drinking habit is to skip dinner. That can't be healthy.

Forgiveness is what Yom Kippur is all about, but I can't help but wonder if some actions are simply unforgiveable.


Speaking of Yom Kippur, I am thinking of fasting this year. After my birthright trip to Israel this past March, I have a renewed desire follow Jewish customs that I had given up on.

When I dance, I feel like the whole world is smiling.

Beets are delicious but they turn my pee an odd shade of pink.

Have you ever tried marañón? It's the fruit that produces cashews. When you bite into it, all the moisture is sucked out of your mouth and your tongue feels rough and dry like a cat's.

Whenever I say "Maryland," I say it like "Mara-land." I'm egotistical like that.

  2. Good job. I love the random snippets, too.

    Unforgiveable? oh I have been struggling with this one in the past 12 hours...but "Vengeance is mine," saith the Lord. - Deuteronomy 32:35

  3. I love your snippets.

    Even though I grew up celebrating most of what can be celebrated, I really miss the High Holy Days, especially Yom Kippur. I miss the singing, the sense of togetherness, the knowing that Jews everywhere were doing the same thing at the same time, and even the fasting.

  7. when I dance the whole world laughs hysterically....explains why I don't dance often. I tried that fruit but it's called a different name where I'm from....what that name is I couldn't tell you. the effect is very much the same though, actually leaves me feeling literally tongue tied

    Blackbelt--I literally laughed out loud when I read your comment. Thanks for that.

    Joe Ordinary-- Now I can't help but picture you doing the "funky chicken" on the dance floor. He he.

    Organic Meatbag-- As long as Dwight Schrute is happy, I'm happy.

  11. Skipping dinner was my weight loss technique this summer (that and swimming)! But then living in Spain the main meal is 3pm lunch so skipping dinner is no biggie! :p

    "When I dance, I feel like the whole world is smiling"
    -> are you channeling me?! ;o)

  14. It's, um, probably obvious that I love snippets too. Your snippets are awesome like dancing-around-in-your-underwear-to-Bon-Jovi-in-the-privacy-of-your-own-apartment awesome. Seriously.

    Also seriously? Don't skip dinner. Not 'cause it's unhealthy (though it is) and not 'cause it's a slippery slope to an eating disorder (really, it is), but because it doesn't work so well for losing weight. Constant food intake that overall adds up to fewer calories is what'll boost your metabolism. But I bet you knew that.
