And now...The Laughing Cow

And now it is November...

I can almost promise you...as in, I swear on this rutabaga...etc.  that I get sick early to mid-November every year.  If this is the case and my memory serves me correctly, I would then, again, be correct.  I would like to blame Halloween, in that, you do just about anything to be outside, perhaps, wearing a costume that may or may not be conducive to the weather  taking place at said time.

Still, I'm not sure the exact reason.  Still, I have been in and out of what one would consider to be 'healthy' since Wednesday of this week.  I also learned, perhaps, that dressing warmer would be a good thing for me to do.  I like to hold on to the warm weather way into the fall season...and sometimes into winter.  I love wearing open toed shoes and short sleeve tops...So, I am convincing myself now, after a bout of the virus kind...that I really need to just succumb to the colder temperatures, embrace random cold rain and wind, and give in to the frosty early mornings I am facing day after day after day.  It isn't going to get warmer...and if it does, it is a freakish event that I will celebrate when and if the time comes...

In the meantime, there will be band practice on Saturday, hooray.  Oh, Alchemy took the month of October off, minus October 1st Friday Friday performance, and I've missed it lots.  I wrote two new songs, which are still being worked...but are assembled and might be ready for scratch vocals, at least.  I like having the balance, actually, of live performances/practice and time for writing and recording... that creative part which can vary so much for what it is like to perform.  So, practice Saturday and then we will be appearing on the local show on WESN 88.1 FM Thursday...I'm certain I'll blog about it.

Weird where and when inspiration strikes and for what reason... I've seen many a Laughing Cow cheese wedge commercial over the past couple of days.  I suppose daytime food TV will attest to this...and, besides kind of loving the cute little song that is played during the commercial.  All of the people eating the cheese, are of course, appearing incredibly happy...So, because I am a sucker for good marketing...and good cheese and I've never tried the Laughing Cow wedges...I had to get out and find these things.  Easy enough, and yes it was everything I ever hoped for...lovely and yummy and perfect for me on a day like today when my blahs have hit an all time blah.  Wonderful little snack that I spread on flatbread crackers, sprinkled some dill, and added tiny sliced cherry tomatoes.  I'm falling hard for the Laughing Cow...but I did eat 2 wedges.  Now I want to be a complete nerd and search for more snacky recipes for these cheese wedges.  I'm weirdly motivated.

Hoping to feel better...tired of being home and in the house all day...even if that means zero to little schedule and lots of sleep...both of which I am a huge fan of.  It is still much better to get out into the world and do things.  I think I miss out on good stories, awkward situations, and fantastic coffee.  I need more of that now.
