It's the little things

My husband went to the store the other night, and while he was there he picked up popcorn for our beloved hot air popper.

I've discovered that Jolly Time white popcorn is our favorite. They are small and crispy and absolutely perfect.

He was able to find Jolly Time, but they were yellow. Instead of coming in a jar, they came in a bag.

Now, bags are messy. Kernels have a mind of their own, and tend to go spilling into a zillion places. But, I was struck with an idea.

I love glass milk bottles. I don't know why I love them so, I just do. And here I had a convenient storage mechanism, and a cutesy display piece. Love it!

Pressing "Pause"

I'm feeling a bit stressed. I have end-of-the-school-year tasks coming out the wazoo. I need to devote real time to cleaning, instead of just doing a "good enough" job on my house. I am smack dab in the middle of a grad course.

Really. I'm asking Calgon to take me away.

Tonight, with 589443 things to do--and those are just the things that are due tomorrow--I decided that we will slow down and do something silly for dinner.

So we are eating our Hamburger Helper (I told you I was busy!) with chopsticks. It started out as something fun, but it made me slow down and enjoy my meal. I guess it was just what I needed.
