peanut butter cravings

 it's been a long time since i've had a PB sandwich. i was thinking about it for awhile & thought that we (brother & i) never had a fluffernutter sandwich. and further thinking led me to think about a PB/marshmallow fluff/chocolate hazelnut spread sandwich. (probably not the first person to think of that.)

first had the fluffernutter; it was OK (PB with honey is better). the trick is to have a thick layer of both the PB & the fluff.

then today did the cocohazelnut-fluffernutter (i guess that's what it could be called) & it was OK too, but neither are anything to repeat.

ice cream novelites

 my brother wanted some, so we picked up a few from wal-mart.

drumsticks; we love chocolate variety pack (with chocolate, white chocolate with fudge & chocolate with fudge). we don't usually like chocolate ice cream, but these were good.

drumsticks; banana split variety pack (with banana, strawberry with fudge & banana with fudge). we don't really like strawberry ice cream, but these were ok.

reeses' dessert bar, by good humor. not bad.

oreo ice cream (well, now it's frozen dairy dessert) sandwiches. almost always good.

klodkike ice cream sandwiches. fairly good.

brother's birthday 2022

from horoscope.com

There are days when you feel wonderful without being able to attribute the feeling to any real event. Of course, your rational mind will search for a reason for the happiness. If you count the number of times when you do things against your will or better judgment, it becomes obvious that logic and reason don't always apply to this world. Don't even try to understand, Cancer, just enjoy!

tarot card of the day;
Temperance
Balance is hard to find, but the Temperance card is clear: You're finding it in your own life. Now, keep that moderation going. All of life is a balancing act and you're well on your way to reaching inner peace. Nurture it.
If you're feeling calmer just looking at this card, imagine what it'd be like to bring that calm to the rest of your life. With the fire and water elements juggled on both sides, Temperance is a true depiction of balance. She enjoys all the sensations that life has to offer, on both ends of the spectrum: good and bad, happy and sad, and so forth. Through her hands the elements combine to create perfect harmony. They ask you to seek this in your own life.

 hope everyone stays safe, firecrackers are no joke.

enjoy the bbq & picnics. hopefully find some deals at the store.

what is in a name?

 our last name is 10 letters long & it's a PITA to fit on some sign here lines. and it rarely fit in the blocks they had on standardized tests in school.

would maybe like to change it, to something 6 letters or less (fewer?), but that's a pain to do and what would it be?

brown, black, green(e), gold, silver, grey are possibilities. smith is overused as is jones. ford is a crap car brand, so that's out.

wilson & watson might be good. but are so far down on the alphabetical list. st. john is too religious for my anti-religious brother, as is pope.

barns would either remind people of bucky or the barns on the original dallas (cliff, pam & their father), depending on their age.

baker, cooper, miller (although there was a girl in school i didn't like with that name), hunter, potter (might get harry potter comments), farmer, cook, or tanner (full house comments, i'm sure) might also work.

ultimately, we're stuck with the last name we have. just have to deal with it.
