The Debate
No, not that one... Thanks to everyone for the "to dye or not to dye" tips, comments, etc. I still think the color is too pastel for me, but maybe not so bad with jeans. Before, I'd usually worn it with light colored slacks or skirt, but just threw it on over my jeans for that blog pic. Maybe I'll leave it in Pepto Bismol, maybe I'll try Brandy's dye recipe, maybe I'll re-re-gift (to Beej?). Okay, enough of that...
Things That Make Me Go "Ho Hum"
Paris Hilton said something stupid.
Clay Aiken is gay.
Madonna's getting a divorce.

Yesterday, I had this thing planned. I'd been looking forward to it, actually. After getting Meego's breakfast, I began to make my preparations, but... but... Magnum. He kept hanging around. Why wasn't he leaving for work?
See, I had to make this soup for a potluck. I'd chosen a hearty Vegetable Pasta soup recipe. It calls for a couple of zucchinis. Now, you know that Magnum is the family gardener, and he has nice zucchini, if I do say. I've always been quite satisfied with his zucchini. In fact, it had gotten to the point where it was almost too much zucchini for me to handle.
But lately, things had gone cold. The zucchini just wasn't happening as often. And when it did happen, the zucchini quality just wasn't as it was in earlier days. For the last month or so, we've actually had no zucchini.
So I got a little desperate. I just really wanted this soup. And I wanted it to be goooood soup. I let my own desires come first. I went out looking for zucchini. Yes, I admit it here, I got some store bought stranger zucchini.
I just couldn't bring myself to tell him - Magnum. I figured I could just have my way with the zucchini, then send it off to the potluck, and Magnum would never be the wiser. But why... WHY wasn't he leaving for work?!
Well, actually, he finally did leave. Just in the nick of time - when I just couldn't wait any longer. Just before I whipped out the stranger zucchini and started the full day of slow, slow, sweet 'n' slow cooking. All day long. And it was just right.
That soup.

I hope that zucchini was *clean* before you messed around with it in the kitchen!
And, yeah, jujutsu, huh...what a word!
I had no idea that soup could have such sexual undertones! Whew! Was it hot? The soup, I mean...
The other two covered my comments. Stranger zucchini can be just fine when you really need a big zucchini and none is available. I mean really what is a girl to do?
I'll take it!!! I have a feeling I won't look so cute and tiny in it like you though (I AM trying though...and even being successful! yay for me!)
Also...You...ain't...right.
Mmmmm...zucchini. One of my faves.
But don't tell Scott.
You know what zuchini and manogagmy have in common.
I can't spell either.
but i am a supporter of both.
