Wednesday, April 11, 2007 Random Current mood: cold I wish that I were able to change the channel. It's in the morning on a day off when I have to go to work late that I am overcome by this. I will watch whatever channel has on Rachel Ray's new talk show and then Tyra. I HATE these two shows. I really do. I promise. They make me sick and I scoff constantly while they are on. The only reason that I can think of to allow these show to take presence in my home is that I'm usually doing something else and I want to make sure that if I have something on in the background it's not too interesting. Then I will find myself watching TV instead of doing whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing. Why not leave the TV off? I don't know! Stop it with the questions! The coolest thing that Mena got for Easter was this little egg that you put in water. Over time (like 4 days) it actually hatches. Pieces of the egg crack and fall off and the little animal inside pokes out and eventually breaks itself free (this last part is an assumption, I would not know the truth because my husband shook the egg and it's water so violently that the egg fell off). Anyway, now we have this duck, free from its water and it egg. It is sitting on my sink. Lemme tell you what. This sucker kind of stinks. Mena sure does want to play with it. She has since the beginning. I told her it had to dry, and now that it has it stinks like mildew. So today, while she is at school I'm going to break her heart and throw the duck in the trash. Maybe I'll tell her he went to the lake, because that's where ducks live. I don't know. So I'm giving flavored water another chance. I got some lemonade crystal light, which is always a safe bet. I also got some pomegranate something. Well the bottle of water was too full with water. Did I drink just a little bit to make rooms for the flavor pack? Not so much. It's just powder. It should just fall in without much displacement. You should be able to just pour it in and the weight of the powder should just push the powder into the water. No, I didn't take physics. It didn't really turn out like I had hoped. A knife (a logical tool for forcing flavor into a water bottle) and a spill and five paper towels later, I had red water. Well as a service to you few who read this. I am putting out a warning. The picture does it no justice. It will stain your skin like nothing I have ever seen. My husband thought upon entering the kitchen after this battle with the flavor pack that I had been cut badly enough to warrant a hospital visit.
