Haphazardly yours

  • Posted on February 25, 2011 at 11:47 am

I had an awesome blogpost halfway written in my head last night. Unfortunately, I was also warm and comfycozy under my covers and SO NOT COMING OUT.

So you get this.

Because I forgot the whole thing. There’s not even a whisper of a faint memory. I just remember that it was going to be an awesome post.

School is going well. It’s a much more solid semester than most of my previous ones. I just have to…decide on a major.

Y’all, I have a difficult time deciding on what paint to put on my bedroom walls – deciding where to focus my degree program has gone from a vague idea to downright impossible.

I want it all. With sprinkles on top.

I’ve started cooking again. So far, the problem has become that I make a recipe and I’m the only one that eats it.

I do not love leftovers.1

You can see the conundrum. I cook, eat, and decide that I don’t want anymore.

And yes yes, I know I could stick it in the freezer until I decide I want it again. The issue there is…I usually don’t want it again until the frozen leftovers are completely inedible.

Buh.

The boys are doing moderately well in school.2 I’m trying to get things worked out so that I’m homeschooling them in addition so that any holes in their education are plugged.

And that’s all I have right now.

  1. Unless it’s a dish that involves planned leftovers. Soup and beans taste better the next day. [↩]
  2. Meaning they still go every day. [↩]

Update to Subwaygate:

Subway has apologized, saying

We at SUBWAY restaurants place a high value on education, regardless of the setting, and have initiated a number of programs and promotions aimed at educating our youth in the areas of health and fitness.
We sincerely apologize to anyone who feels excluded by our current essay contest. Our intention was to provide an opportunity for traditional schools, many of which we know have trouble affording athletic equipment, to win equipment. Parents who home school their children make a tremendous commitment which we greatly respect, and can provide a terrific education. Our intent was certainly not to exclude home schooled children from the opportunity to win prizes and benefit from better access to fitness equipment.
To address the inadvertent limitation of our current contest and provide an opportunity for even more kids to improve their fitness, we will soon create an additional contest in which home schooled students will be encouraged to participate. When the kids win, everyone wins!

Unfortunately, that’s not good enough for some. (Usually I link to the original story instead of a reposting, but I had an email claiming that the boycott originated with this post. ) This attitude is the perfect example of the “can’t win” situation. You complained, they responded, and you’re miffed because “that’s not good enough”.

Well suck it up and press on kid. Fortunately, you’re in the minority with that attitude. Generally speaking, the posts I’ve seen have been appreciative and positive about Subway’s response.
