Although I try to post (almost) everyday, sometimes I just can’t pull it all together. And I subscribe to the rule, “If you can’t blog something nice/interesting, then don’t blog nothin’ at all.” Yesterday, all that came to mind was “tired. need sleep.” so I decided to cut my losses and go to bed.
Today, however, I have some news to report: turns out cottage cheese is not half-bad.
In my desperation to find something quick for dinner at the grocery store last evening, I happened upon cottage cheese as I was passing between the eggs and the sour cream (two things I really like). Now, I’ve had some brief experiences with cottage cheese in the past, but we never got along that well. I decided it was finally time to give it another chance.
After I got home from the grocery store, I prepared a robust and balanced meal of cottage cheese and steamed broccoli.
(It could have been worse. At least there was some nutritional value.)
Anyway, I actually kind of liked the cottage cheese and I ate it again this evening. I might even eat it again tomorrow and the next day.
After that, I will probably be tired of it and not eat it again for a few years.
That’s just the way I am with food. I become obsessed with things and then I can’t stand the thought of them for a while.
I think I need to review my self-imposed blogging rules.
Let me try again:
Hey there,
Welcome to Tuesday’s post.
I saw a lovely sunset the other night on my walk/run. Ralk? Wun? Trot?
I’ll work on that some more.
And one more random story for the road:
I did some laundry yesterday and I have yet to fold it. Miss Scarlett thought these sheets and towels made a perfect nest on top of her favorite chair.
Bliss.
I’ll do better tomorrow. I promise.
Y’all come back,

This is Scarlett’s spot on the back of the sofa in case you couldn’t already tell.
She passes many an afternoon on her perch, watching the activity outside through the sliding door.
Sometimes she’s extremely camera-shy.
And, often, she’s quite grouchy.
When there is a bird or anything else that moves on the deck, she puts on her game face and watches it like a hawk.
Really, Scarlett, I wish you would relax and make yourself comfortable.
Please take note of her legs, particularly her back leg flung over the back of the sofa. She’s so modest with her superman poses.
She’s annoyed that I’m talking about her like this.
But she still thinks I’m alright because I let her think she owns the place…which might not be far from the truth.
Y’all come back,
Sugarlump
On my run/walk/mostly walk this evening, I encountered some wild clouds. Shocking, I know. I had someone tell me recently that she now thinks of me every time she sees weird clouds. I was honored. I am officially a cloud lady. But … Continue reading
I was in Connecticut last week on a business trip. When I left Nashville, it was approximately 110 degrees. When I arrived in Connecticut, it was approximately 80 degrees. The conference room where I spent the majority of my time … Continue reading
During the great heat wave of Summer 2012 in the South, we experienced some very interesting moons. I still have yet to figure out how to take a night photo with my real camera. If anyone has any suggestions or … Continue reading
Gus takes his bed very seriously. And, therefore, he takes sleeping very seriously. Although this is clearly in the middle of the day during one of Gus’ 5 naps, this is the same way he behaves when it is time … Continue reading
For the 4th of July, Eugene and I headed to Burkesville to see our extended family. As we went to bed on Tuesday night out in the country, we couldn’t help but notice how loud the crickets were. It’s funny … Continue reading
On Saturday, day 2 of the family visit, we began with a nice breakfast at Meridee’s in downtown Franklin. Apparently we weren’t the only ones with that idea because the place was packed. But, it was delish as usual. We … Continue reading
On Monday, Mother Nature gave the South a belated birthday present on my behalf: RAIN! But only a short drizzle. I was hoping for a nice, violent thunderstorm that would dump buckets of rain everywhere and nourish the gardens, but … Continue reading
