well i'm making progress in my horrific room. yay for les!!
tonight i got a phone call from a little voice. joelle called just to talk. it was sooo cute. unfortunately, she doesn't grasp that making conversation requires using real words and tends to just make up sounds eventhough she has quite a large vocabulary.
so i'm doing the "eat the entire contents of your fridge" challenge. well its not a real challenge and its technicially not the ENTIRE contents of my fridge since melinda and irina have food in it too. but basically i'm just gonna eat up everything i have before i do a real grocery shop. i haven't really grocery shopped since november, or wait maybe once since then. i've only cooked a proper meal probably 5 times in 2006. thankfully my dad will be delivering my vegetable bag on thursday because i'm running low. oh my vegetable bag is this thing done through the KFL&A Health Unit. they're trying to encourage healthy eating, so for 5 dollars you get this bag full of tons of veggies. i've grown quite dependant on it without even realizing it. now, melissa's always asking me "what do you eat??" well tonight i had a pear, i may have some peanuts or a butter tart later too. so there you have it! well i had a really big lunch. its easy to snack away the evening. actually, if i had more fruit i'd probably only have that for dinner. hmm, maybe i should invest 10 dollars each month and get the vegetable box, it comes with both fruits and veggies. the problem is, i'm seasonally allergic to a lot of fruit (just spring and summer), so that won't do me much good.
i like talking to the engineers at work about trains. i love that i can talk trains with the big boys. sometimes i think "how do i know so much about trains, bogies, linear induction motors, propulsion, traction and gradients?? i'm just a graphic designer!!!" when i was in pittsburgh, we were on a tour of the facility and one of the other people on the tour started asking me all these questions and strangely enough... i knew the answers!! there were two different kinds of trains being manufactured and i explained to them the difference between the bogies of each train. fyi: a bogie is the "wheels" of the train (and, coincidentally enough, also british slang for a booger).
i've still got sand in my shoes.

what's this "food in a bag/box" thing??? Tell me more!
ah, i knew there would be people interested. i tried to find some info on the KFHL&A website but couldn't. i'll ask my dad later and keep you posted. hahahaaha
wanna clean my room?
You pay a base amount, usually they have different size boxes ranging in price (I think $15 is the most expensive), and it's filled with fruit and/or veggies. You order them and pick them up on certain days. At least that's how it used to go. A pretty good deal and you get in-season produce so there's always variety.
no i don't want to clean your room you crazy person!!
ooh, thanks for the info sarah. but how do you get hooked up?? my dad started just bring by some of his veggies out of his bag, then started bringing me a bag of my own, then started asking me for money when i didn't even ask for it in the first place. but unfortunately by then i was hooked!! :(
sounds like a good deal, but how often do the bags/boxes come? i'd be afraid of wasting a lot of great produce, since our family is generally slow to eat it. but then, maybe it would be good for us, we could challenge ourselves to eat it before it goes bad, so then we'd be healthier too.
its the third thursday of the month.
here's the number:
good food box 530-2239
So how DO you know so much about trains?
It totally fascinates me when people suddenly reveal unknown depths of knowledge about bizzarre and obscure things (such as trains!) that I would never have pegged them as being interested in.
i listen and obsorb everything. there's really not a lot i'm not interested in. i have to admit i didn't realize a train obsession was in me, just waiting...
