Pickles and Stamps

The kid decided to be extra helpful during lunch this weekend and not only put the pickles on the table, but open them.  She ended up opening them all over the kitchen table, tablecloth, floor, chairs and chair pads.  I could not imagine having the permanent smell of dill pickles in my house (chair pads) so I had this genious idea to recover them.  Wayyyy tooooo much work!  But I did it.  Never again.  I can't believe people make a profession out of that...that's one job I can check off my list of never wanting. 


Got a postcard from Finland today with an awesome stamp on it.  I know, I'm amused by the stupidest things.  The kid went crazy about the stamp though too because it's this broccoli with silly eyes and a mouth.  Why can't we have cool international stamps like that?  We just have the boring mountains.  Blah.   

I thought I'd be getting on the elliptical in the mornings before work, but after attempting to get back up an hour earlier (after a night of NO sleep), I can see that is not going to happen.  Now or in the future.  Lately I've been getting a second wind though around 7.  Tonight I did a half an hour, 1 3/4 mile and burned 485 calories.  Hey whatever works.  Jamaica, Mexico, St. Thomas???  Whatever, wherever, I'll be there soon!!!  And I'm hoping no one reports a beached whale.

Alright already, could I have a more boring blog?  Well anyway, peace for tonight.  I'm walking into hell tomorrow.  *sob*
