raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

can anyone name that tune? well, its from the sound of music and the official title of the song is called 'favorite things'...i think..actually i have no idea if thats the real title but i know the line in the chorus is 'and these are a few of my favorite things..' so anyways..ive found a new favorite thing...a new favorite snack. its fresh strawberries and fat free cool whip. its the greatest thing ever and way healthier than a bag of chips or a bowl of fettucine alfredo. dont be turned off by the fat free cool whip - its actually quite wonderful and ill be the first to say that im usually turned off by fat free, light, low fat stuff. probably bc i know what the real stuff tastes like so when you take stuff out like fat for instance i know im being deprived of optimal flavor. granted its helping me live longer, but sometimes you just gotta go all the way. like coke..i will never be a diet coke drinker. to me, drinking diet coke is like being told youre going to get a bowl of ice cream and then being handed a celery stick. yeah, in fact i dont mind my coke with a little vanilla and cherry flavoring added as well - notice the added sugars and calories? yeah, thats how i do it. so back to the cool whip..its suprisingly good for being fat free so you should definitely make the switch. and fresh strawberries? yummmm. you can never go wrong with those..plus its strawberry season so theyre real cheap these days.

moving on...im headed to cs straight from work for the weekend and am real excited about that. seeing old friends is always refreshing and hopefully ill be able to see some of those cute little mission kids that i miss so much! oooh..plus the nba playoffs start saturday - sixers/pistons!!

heres another thought..i bought a power inverter recently. it basically plugs into your car lighter outlet and then the other end is a 3 prong outlet. i had no real reason for buying it but i thought hey, you never know when youre going to want to plug something in to use in your car, right? christian and i thought of possibilities like a hair dryer...a toaster...ya know...stuff like that that could cut the time in the morning for getting ready for work bc if you can do that stuff during your commute to work then thats more time for sleeping in the morning! so anyways...the power inverter has stayed in its box in my car since i got it. well, last nite i have these genius ideas of practical uses. for one i play my ipod in my car using a cassete tape adapter...however, it does not charge the battery at the same time so i have to charge my ipod every nite. well, i can just plug the wall charger into the power inverter and the other into the ipod and thus the battery wont be drained while driving!! im a genius! second...my new digital camera came with rechargeable batteries that run out pretty quickly. well, say im on a trip somewhere and need to recharge my camera but am not in close proximity to an outlet to charge them in the camera dock? have no fear! plug the dock into the power inverter in the car and voila! the batteries are thus recharging! yes, be impressed...i know i am...and you thought my power inverter was just a silly purchase - ha!

ok..im going to do some work now bc ive been at work for 2 hours and have nothing to show for it...but i guess thats about the same as most days...
