Kool-Aid, pickles and a few rambles

A few rambles...

ONE - I've been moving for the past week and should be finished by the 15th. It's been quite the experience. My plan is to rent the new house for a few months, then buy it. So far, I've spent between $700 and $1,000 on minor repairs, paint and new light fixtures, not to mention the amount of time it's taken.

TWO - I can't believe I was seen in public wearing old flowered baggy shorts and a T-shirt with paint blobs on it at Lowe's by someone I know...


THREE - I couldn't sleep, so I was checking out MySpace profiles of friends of my friends. (Here's mine - probably also dumb) I came to the conclusion that there are a lot of stupid ones out there. More than a few contained statements like this one: "I'm an outgoing introvert. I'm pretty mellow at times but engaging at other times." Are you kidding me??

FOUR - I made a trip to Wal-Mart tonight for Kool-Aid and pickles. An odd combo, right? Evidently it's pretty good, according to a story we're planning to use in the Food section on Wednesday. I'm making it as a test kitchen, so we'll see. Anybody else do any odd pickling? If so, post a comment at the bottom of this blog.
