Plain ole, everyday minutiae

It's Girl Scout Cookie Season. I haven't had a box in years and years but I think I made it for up this year with seven boxes. I left three boxes at home and brought three to work and the first box just sort of disappeared between the two of us.

I keep thinking: We belong to a gym, it's okay, I have a long walk from the car to the office, it's okay, we NEVER have cookies or sweets in the pantry at home, it's okay. So far I have calculated 858 calories from GSCookies. EEK! Time to share. Want some Do-Si-Dos, Samoas or Tagalongs? No, I never liked Thin Mints. I bought these with my husband in mind. He flips for peanut butter.

Top Notch has the best fish sandwiches. Reminds me, Ash Wednesday is 2/25, I always use Lent as an excuse to visit Top Notch on Friday evenings.

Santiago has an awesome lemon tree and gave me one of it's babies. I have the cutest baby lemon tree in a Contadina Tomato Paste can. I can't wait to get it going, though, I have failed on a grand scale before. Fresh new start, slate is clean. I sort of wish this lil tree could stay in it's can always. I noticed others around me had little starters in pea cans, hominy cans...I love to see plants in cans with the labels still on them. It's just one of those things that seems so familiar and looks so cute I can't stop looking at it. Makes me happy.
