DAY SIXTY-SIX

Hey! Only two hundred and ninety-nine more days to go for the rest of this year of mine. Sheesh! So, came to work, stumbled through that. Got home and convinced Martha that we needed to go to the bank. We cashed the check that the guy brought for the 69 Olds that he's making payments on and went out to eat. Well, eventually, first we drove aimlessly for a while. I did pick up a lottery ticket because the Mega Million jackpot is up to 350 Million. I can afford a buck at an extremely outside chance of winning that thing.
We went to Checkers to eat. Now, we don't go there very often which is probably a good thing. I'm amazed that they don't have a cardiac team just parked waiting there. I got this monstrosity called a Big Buford. You get the lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, purple onions with two beef patties, cheese on grilled sourdough bread. These can not be good for you and I will probably feel it tomorrow. In my defense, I did have oatmeal with cinnamon and flaxseed for breakfast and a bowl of brown rice with the extra chunky Mrs. Dash on it. It kind of evens out. And Checkers has these astonishing onion rings, but when I got to the last on and saw the pool of brown grease in the carton I got a little sick.
Afterwards we took the kids to vacation bible school. Then, since Dennis didn't go with us, we stopped and got him some McDonalds. It was crap dinner at The Waltz Compound this evening.
Later, the kids got dropped off and I found this recipe for flaxseed foccacia bread online so I decided to try it out. The only bad thing in the recipe was the five eggs, but in the future I could replace them with egg beaters or these Omega-3 eggs that they have at the market. It turned out pretty good. It would make an awesome pizza crust and you could put all kinds of things in the bread to make it even better. And you could go sweet or savory with the recipe which is nice. I'll definitely be making this one again.
We watched Mythbusters before bed because they were debunking some of the things you see in superhero comics. I always like Mythbusters and this one was no exception. Very entertaining and now all my children want grappling hooks for Christmas. They thought grappling hooks were fictitious or something. All my children want to become ninjas.
That put us at ten o'clock and I was ready for some serious snoozing. Thankfully, the temperature had dropped significantly so I was able to sleep in the comfort of my own room.
Ahhhhhh, comfort!
