My Monday so far

[susandennis]

I did have a great swim.  Most of my hour there was one or two other swimmers in my lane going at about my pace. It was just pleasant.  I do need to change out the music on my player sometime soon, though.  Oh and more roof work so the pool will be closed Saturday and Sunday coming up.  And then the following Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving.  Bummer.

After the pool, I went over to the post office to drop off my old phone.  (I passed through a small intersection on the way there and just now read that a police officer was hit by a car there about 30 minutes ago - 30 minutes after I was there. Yikes.) Then I stopped for a sausage biscuit at MacDonald's.  (Sausage biscuit plus medium sized coffee - $2.19 - pretty excellent deal, if you ask me!)

My brother just posted on Google Plus that today was Crabby Customer Day. I missed the drama but can gather from the conversation when I finally fired up the webcam that it has not been an upbeat day there today.   Their new coffee pot is Out For Delivery. Maybe that will make the day better.

My arms are nearly bruise free right now but my hands - both of them - are covered with wounds and blood bruises.  And a couple of the biggest, ugliest, are new so will be there for a couple of more weeks minimum.  Ugh.

Nothing on the hit parade today.  I may do laundry.  The drawers in the bathroom are driving me a little 'Organize Us!!' crazy but I don't think I'll hit that threshold today :)

Do you use Klout? It's a web site that purports to track people's influence levels on social media. It often makes me roll my eyes, but one nice thing about the site are its "perks." The perk I've been offered most often is that McDonald's will send me a $5 Arch Card to try their latest thing, whether it's wings or the new Quarter Pounder with grilled onions and cheddar.

(http://www.flickr.com/photos/mhaithaca/2036861200/)Anyway, I tend to take advantage of their two Egg McMuffins for $3 deal whenever it rolls around, which seems like it's nearly all the time. You can also get an Egg McMuffin and a cup of coffee for $3, but since they also always seem to have "any size coffee for $1" that's not a real good value proposition!

For emergencies, I always have some Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches in the freezer. A just-cooked Egg McMuffin is better, but these are damn good substitutes when I just want something quick without running across town. This pic is of one of their "D-Lights" versions, turkey sausage and egg white instead of pork sausage and a whole egg, but I usually get the real thing.

Klout has always scared me but maybe I'll rethink that!!

I have never tried Jimmy Deans breakfast sandwiches ... but thanks to your tip, that will soon change!

Ok, I Klouted :) - the site is a lot nicer than when I first checked it out eons ago. Thanks for the tip!

Ok. So I procured some of your Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches and it turns out you are exactly right. They are damn good substitutes and beat the hell out of getting in the car and driving to McDonald's!

Thanks!!

DId Chef Anita set you up with a proper Thanksgiving menu during her last visit or do you do your own version of the holiday? (Or like me, get invited to a potluck? :)

[susandennis]

My version of the holiday is to make it look like all other days. I generally succeed beautifully :)

I am not a holiday person.

Understood! I just was thinking how lovely it would be to have a Chef Anita since I don't cook:)
