I love my food. Almost as much as I love naps. Almost. Food is definitely in my top 5 favorite things. And I just got done eating one of my favorite foods, Amy’s Chunky Vegetable Soup. I know, I’ve raved about it before, but now it has brightened my day. Isn’t that worth blogging about?

Now I wonder if I can’t sneak in a nap somehow…..

I feel like starting off this Wednesday with a rant.

In case someone out there in tubeland doesn’t know it, arthritis sucks!

There, much better now.

No, not really. But still.

I’m a very serious person. In her sweet, broken English kind of way I think she’s telling me to lighten up. Wanna see what she thinks about you? Although afterward you may want to visit Conjunction Junction before writing anything important, just to make sure you not talk like this.

Little people concealed in hockey bags fleece Swedish bus passengers

It seems that the Swedish daily newspaper Expressen.se are reporting that police suspect that a team of thieves operating in Sweden are using little people hidden in hockey bags and placed in the cargo holds of buses to loot passengers luggage while in transit.

You can check out the article here, but good luck finding a translator. I had to sort it out piece mail.

Catching up on my work, and my blog friends and family, has me wandering all over the web and Michelle sent me to some nifty name generators. This one gave me the radical Kung Fu name “Wandering Tornado Pelvis“. I’ve decided it’s a compliment. Roll with it.

I don’t want to get too cocky, cause last week I walked into my office and got shipped right back out, but I think I’m back for a while.  We’ll see.
