Potato Meal

I sometimes get crazy ideas, that are so enticing they must at some point be accomplished.

Things like lazy day, and inside day, and whopper day.

Last night, I created a new one that I will accomplish at some point.

I call it "Potato Meal."

I like potatoes almost any way they are cooked. For that reason, I sometime want a meal that consists of mashed potatoes, a baked potato, cream of potato soup, hash browns, and tator-tots.

It may not sound good to you, but I'm gonna do it someday.

What's Missing?

It's weird for me to miss church. I haven't had a reason to need to miss church in a long time, but tomorrow, I have the second day of my soccer reffing certification that takes place at the time of church.

That's weird for me.

I'll actually miss it.

Jello Surprise

Jenny and I only cook when inspired. Most nights, the microwave is all we need, but on the occasion where someone is motivated (today Jenny) we make more food than any two people should ever have.

Tonight included our own double batch of special strawberry jello. It was wonderful. A double batch for the two of us will last us quite some time, but lucky for us, strawberry jello is amazing.

Drawing People In

I'll admit, I love a good action movie as much as anybody. Lots of destruction and such.

I occasionally watch things that I would never want in real life.

But what is with network shows advertising to the "naughty" side of life.

Desperate Housewives has an ad airing this week which talks about how all seven "deadly sins" will be commited in their next episode. You wouldn't want to miss people being this "naughty" would you?

I just don't get it.

Detail Oriented?

Do you ever wonder how detailed a "background check" is?

I have to get yet another one when I take my reffing clinic. They are now starting to do background checks on all refs 18 years of age and older.

What all can be included on these things? Does it ever change? Is it like a driving record, that updates after it is clean for a while? Does a particular offense stay on longer than others?

I believe it is smart for any organization (like a reffing organization) to take these steps, but it is quite unfortunate that it is necessary. Society has gone to a bad place.
