Just a Cat Vomit on my Skirt Kind of Day

1. We ate some strawberries with our dinner last night (at least those of us who eat fruit) and they were so damned sweet that I looked on the packaging to see if there was added sugar. There wasn't....just the shock of springtime strawberries I guess.

2. I happened to brush my skirt off at one point today while sitting at my desk and realized that a cat had vomited on my skirt. It is a flowered skirt so uh....I hadn't noticed. I really should have someone  check me over before I leave in the morning. Good God.

3. Ernie starts physical therapy on his shoulder today----the one that was hurt in the car accident. Lord we're sick of doctors and hospitals.

4. The other day I was staring at a head of broccoli trying to decide what to do with it and I ended up shredding it in the food processor just because it's kind of fun. Then I stared at the bowl of mmmm....broccoli mush (because while broccoli stems turn into nice little shreds, the florets become.....mush) and again contemplated what the hell to do with it. I ended up sauteeing it with a bit of olive oil until it was just cooked through and then adding just a tablespoon or two of cream to it along with salt and pepper. It was ridiculously good.....and was the star of the plate. Even Owen said it wasn't terrible!

5. Other than those bright notes my day more or less sucks.

And so it goes. 

And I still think Dave Edmunds is the cutest thing.
