- I eat breakfast for dinner a couple times a week. Breakfast food absolutely rules. You can do infinity things with eggs and you can make the meal as health conscious (protein waffles and egg whites) or as close to diabeetus on a plate as you want (Nutella anything). Brinner >>>
- Speaking of diabeetus on a plate, ate at a brunch place in Vegas called Griddlecakes on our way out of town. If you don't have anything to do the rest of your day because you're sweating the blood sugar spike, it's phenomenal.
- I don't know how people can handle looking at a computer while using a treadmill desk? I can't even use a standing desk, really, I'm too fidgety to focus on whatever I need to be writing. I did get a yoga ball to sit on in my office, and I felt like a complete douche when I had to use a hand pump that looked like a Shakeweight to inflate it. But it's only here til I go on maternity leave. Turns out, babies make sitting, standing and laying down uncomfortable, who knew.
- I wish Votto had retired at the end of last season, but his Irish exit is so beautifully on brand for him... I don't hate it. Even in retirement, Joey Votto Still Bangs. Bittersweet to see him go.
- While on vacation with my family, I learned my father does not consult the GPS on the screen in vehicles and refuses to use back up cameras, despite the fact that the GPS knows where we are and he doesn't and I know the cameras see a lot more than he does craning his neck around. He said "I don't want to take my eyes off the road" to glance at the GPS, and immediately flipped around the Sirius/XM menu for a bit. I don't know, man. Olds.
- My husband is determined to get me to trade in my Accord for an SUV because "it'll be safer for the baby." Lies, I know he just wants to drive a Sequoia when we aren't in his Tundra. Also, one (1) infant doesn't require driving a giant vehicle, and I'm partial to driving sedans over large vehicles. I've seen accident photos, medical records, and autopsy photos from accidents involving everything from Smart Cars and motorcycles to F-450s to semis, and ...at a certain point, there's only so much safety features can do for you. I dunno. When my kid is old enough to drive on his own, I'll likely change my tune, but while I'm the driver, I'm driving what I like.
- The Jeep ducking trend stokes flames of Boomer-style crotchety hatred in my soul. I know it has zero impact on my day to day life and I shouldn't care. But everytime I see it...I comment on how much I hate it like my dad bitching about technology.
