Observations on a Wednesday

Here are a few random observations for today, since that appears all that I'm capable of at this point:

* Sharon's Informal Underwear Survey is now closed. Since Sharon had asked several people about their underwear folding habits prior to this blog survey, I am adjusting the totals as follows to show 42 respondents:

• 26 -- fold their underwear (62%)
• 2 -- roll their underwear (5%)
• 11 -- toss their underwear (26%)
• 2 -- stack their underwear (5%)
• 1 -- presumably wears no underwear (and only you know who you are) (2%)

So it would appear that of this informal, unscientific sampling, folding underwear is the most common practice. I asked Sharon what this all means. She simply referred me to the title of the book she's been reading: Life's Too Short to Fold Your Underwear. I think she is subtly trying to encourage all folders to become tossers, or even flingers. (How about it, folders? Care to start living on the edge?) Now I'm even wondering how much time I would save if I didn't fold my underwear. Perhaps I could use that time to actually get some scrapbooking done.

* Lily should not eat rubber bands.

* Today's temperature is 52 degrees. I wore my sandals today. Then I decided that 52 degrees is almost too cold for sandals. Now I'm wearing two pairs of socks. But no sandals.

* One should not eat too much candy corn in one sitting. Or one standing, for that matter.

* My garden has never looked worse. It looked good at one point. Now it looks bad. What happened in between?

* Quite often, it sucks to be me. And it's completely my own doing. Or undoing, some would say.

* The wind is blowing the locust tree pods all around our development. I'm sure we'll soon be everyone's favorite neighbors.

* I'm getting better and better at procrastinating.

* It's hard to make a grilled cheese sandwich without the cheese.

Perhaps tomorrow's blog post will be more meaningful, but for today, that's all I've got.
