Bug in My Ear
Sunday afternoon, I went walking in Calvin’s nature preserve and thought a bug flew in my ear. I rubbed my ear and carried on with the rest of my walk. but about an hour later, it felt like something was rustling inside my ear. I didn’t feel it again for a few hours, but when I was trying to sleep later that night, I felt it again. Every time I would flip over to different sides, this thing in my ear would move too. The next morning I tried to clean it out the best I could with a q-tip…that seemed to work. I haven’t felt any rustling since then. So either I cleaned the bug out of my ear, have a dead bug lying in my ear, or there never was any bug in the first place and I just needed a good cleaning.

Why Drive So Far to Meijer
Do you realize that I drive a good 15 minutes out of the way to go to the Meijer on Kraft rather than going to the “ghetto Meijer” by my house. I am not really sure why I do this, but maybe it has to do somethign with the shoes being right next to the Yogurt, the large selection of pom-aid, hair relaxer, and other beauty products carried for people other than myself. Maybe it is because the people sometimes creep me out…but they do make me laugh sometimes. I do know where everything is in the Kraft Meijer…Perhaps I am not able to admit some Issues I have…

“Punch It Margaret”
Sometimes late at night and no one is on the road, when the traffic light is red, I just keep heading right for it like it was green. I try to will it to change. focusing all my energy into that little bulb…..it hasn’t worked yet…but it will someday (don’t worry, I never run the red light)

Donuts for Breakfast?
When did it become acceptable for Donuts to be part of a balanced breakfast? How is cake and frosting a good way to start the day? I realize that French toast covered with a pool of syrup isn’t really better, but it is my favorite. Recently I have been trying to pay attention to the amount of sugar and fat that I eat. I look at nutritional information now…maybe I was inspired by  the movie  Super Size Me, but either way, we need to be more aware of what we are eating, and try to eat better. Eggs, cereal (not the marshmallow ones…even though they are my favorite) and other food items that don’t mess with us…
Important Uninteresting Information
Why is it that when we have conversations with other people and bring up the topic of class schedule, what we had for breakfast, or any other everyday information, we think it is the most interesting and important tidbit of information we have. But when the person who we are talking to takes his/her turn to reciprocate the information, we don’t give a crap.
We get bored and just wait for them to be done. They are saying the same crap that we thought was interesting when we said it, but all of a sudden, since it is coming out of someone elses mouth, it is deathly boring.

Brawney’s New Look
Finally, I would like to address a problem with today’s world…I remember the old days when the man on the paper towels had a big moustache, wavy hair, and a look like he just came out of the Victory Auto Wreckers comercial (a little inside I know….that is for all you Chicago folk)    I am not happy with the New Brawny…I want him to look like he is right out of the 70’s…that is the way I knew him…and that is the way he should stay!
