My Addiction: Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes

Word of the day:  bonnyclabber\BAH-nee-klab-er\ noun : sour milk that has been thickened or curdled.

While I like my desserts, I'm typically NOT someone who consumes large quantities of mass produced snack cakes, candies, etc.  Now those made at home, I'll certainly eat my share of them.  However, being here in Bristol, VA, I've discovered at the local Food City; Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes. 

So help me, I'll sit and eat a box of these things at one sitting if I don't exercise self-control and sensibility.  The manufacturer has it down patt as to marketing of these things.  They only put 8 in a box, whereas most of the other Little Debbie products are 12. 

If you ever have the chance to try these things, you'll be hooked.

Surprise Visit

Word of the day:  lotusland\\\AN-tuh-pohd\ noun:  1: the parts of the earth diametrically opposite — usually used in plural.  *2 : the exact opposite or contrary.

Typically, I'm not not one for surprise visits but last evening was one of the exceptions to the rule.  Last night two friends (Roy Matthews and David Baker) from when I used to live here in the Tri-Cities dropped by around 8:00pm.  We visited for about 2-1/2 hours.  It was very very enjoyable to have these two gentlemen drop by.  I appreciated their visits and look forward to rekindling our friendships.

Life IS Beautiful

Word of the day:  madeleineROO-muh-nayt\ verb:  *1 : meditate, muse
2 : to chew repeatedly for an extended period.

Has anyonepaid much attention to the words in the lyrics of "The Logical Song" by Supertramp?  I was listening to them just the other day and WOW, they hit close to me.

"The Logical Song" by Supertramp

When i was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they´d be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible ,practical
And they showed me a world
Where i could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world´s asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won´t you please, please tell me what we´ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who i am

Now watch what you say
Or they´ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won´t you sign up your name
We´d like to feel you´re
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

At night when all the world´s asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won´t you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who i am, who i am ,who i am
