There are some things you find out about yourself when you have time alone. I didn't know that. Here is something else I didn't know. I am really quite strange. Have you ever goofed off around people and wondered if you were just trying to get attention? There have been times when I would have goofed off and thought to myself that I needed to chill, that it was just attention seeking behavior and would be annoying. I might not be wrong about the annoying part but I don't think I am always looking for attention.

I suspect I was judging myself a little harshly about this because even when I am all by myself I act pretty strange.

I made a delicious pizza for lunch today. The crust is made out of cauliflower, fake cheese, fake eggs and spices. I found myself counseling the left over pizza sauces in the fridge.

"Sauces, sauces.......where are you? Come on out now, don't be shy. There's one of you. Are you any good? Can't smell anything, you look alright. But where is the other one. The yummier one. Don't be hiding in there now. I need you. Ah ha! There you are! Don't worry now, you'll be just fine. Unless your bad."  Snifffffffff "Yep, you are the one I wanted!"

Chopping up the toppings I guess I got bored. all of the sudden, my eyes opened wide as out of my mouth a voluminous sound poured forth and reverberated from the kitchen walls. It sounded pretty good so I did a whole song (no words) that way.

The next thing I knew, as I was tossing toppings onto THE BEST smelling pizza crust EVER I became aware that I was on a cowboy cooking show. In my best imitation southern accent I explain in great deal to the invisible camera that since we had never made this particular crust before and didn't know how well the bottom would cook I was going to cover the very edge of the pizza with pepperoni's. A sort of pepperoni guard, so to speak, to make sure the whole crust cooked but the outside edge didn't burn.

Starting Over this is not to be taken as an admission that I have a Texas accent. I don't have to talk that way, but I can if I want to.

I think it is safe to say that the general public should be grateful that, for the most part, I contain my silly antics. If everybody acted like me this world would be........TOO FUN!!!

It looks like The Babe is going to make it for about a week in Oklahoma. If she can make it until Monday I will go back then and stay until the 17nth, at which time I will bring the whole brood back. I want to at least have this weekend for Chuck and I  to be alone together. I was gone all day last Saturday and he was all of Sunday. Is that thunder?

Giant raindrops are slapping the sidewalk and the thunder is glorious!  Guess I won't be sunbathing in the nude today.

Did I just say that outloud?  Where is that filter?

Filter..........filter. You get back over here. Without you I am too scary for my peeps!
