Another day has galloped away from me.
We had a 3.5 hour meeting at work, and it
was a good meeting, with all the attorneys who represent us, but when it was
over I felt like I was somehow ten times further behind in my work. I applied
myself all afternoon and left with a sense of calm, fortunately.
I mailed off Bruce’s box to Iraq. I hope he
gets it soon. The children each did cute drawings for him. I sent him lots of
the trail mix from Trader Joe’s.
Our movie tonight was Tombstone, the version
of the Wyatt Earp story with Kurt Russell in the lead. I had seen the one with
Kevin Costner, but missed this one. I’m not sure which one I prefer. Both are
very violent but probably pretty true to history. The kids were impressed when
I told them Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday were real people. I wanted to rent this
one because I heard a deejay on a local radio station the other day saying
Tombstone was his favorite movie. I cannot say the same, but I am a chick and I
like chick flicks.
I made a pork roast for dinner, with mashed
potatoes and salad on the side. I also tried making a sweet potato dish. I have
lately developed a taste for them, although I would like to find a recipe that
didn’t involve tons of brown sugar. I found a brand of sweet potato chips I
like, that are similar to potato chips but I think they have more flavor. Now I
can’t recall the brand name…?
Anyway, I tried a sweet potato recipes with
orange juice and bourbon, that I found on the internet. It didn’t come out just
like I would have liked, though – too rich. If you have a good sweet potato
recipe, please send it on!
