Strange Bedfellows and 2 Other Things

1. Do you ever wake up in the morning, lift up your pillows, and realize you have slept with every portable electronic device you own? I always sleep with my phone cuz it's my alarm clock... and lately I've been sleeping with my laptop because I listen to books on tape before bed, but the latest book I downloaded from the library could only be transferred to an ipod.

Perhaps I need a bigger bed.

2. For breakfast, I've discovered the joys of hash browns and carrots. Emily and Mom taught me how to wash the grated potatoes so they don't stick together and now I throw in a carrot or two with my chives and/or onions. So pretty.

But be warned, although the carrots add some sweetness (and lets face it, anything tastes wonderful fried in butter), you can have too many carrots. The ratio definitely needs to be heavy on the potatoes. I love me some starch.

3. I've discovered that my attitude on the bike is inversely proportional to the elevation gain. Up it goes, down goes the attitude and visa versa. Of course, too much downhill or too much straight can get boring but too much uphill really takes the cake. Kinda like life.

I'm off to spend Memorial weekend with Emily. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday!
