Too Drunk to Put on Flip Flops
Kim, I just made what should have been 6 adult sized servings of steel cut oats for my husband and the 4 younger boys.
Not a single oat was left.
Since I started freelancing, build your own sandwich night has been very popular. The only effort is washing lettuce & vegetables and cutting them up – but then I have leftovers for the week’s lunchboxes ready to go! My kids are crazy about raw cut up veg like carrots, baby spinach and bell pepper strips, much more so than cooked vegetables so this winds up being a pretty healthy meal, too.
Hi Tracy – Somehow I thought you were going to comment about the guy trying to put his flip flops on ;-)
Alex and I are fairly flexible about what we eat when – mac & cheese for breakfast, oatmeal for lunch, etc … she just doesn’t like eating the same dinner two days in a row but is getting better about that. Mostly because I’ve become such a nag about not wasting anything …
Hey Kim,
I am one of those guys who wait for this list desperately. And again you have posted some cool links.
Thanks for them.
Hi Rick – I’m glad you like the lists :-) I keep thinking about stopping them so it’s good to hear that people enjoy them.
Awesome ET write-up!
How well do you know TweetDeck? Did I already ask you if you’d like to do a guest post on it?

Hi Dennis – I haven’t had a chance to answer. I know it pretty well but haven’t kept up with the new features very well. I don’t think I have time to write anything extra right now though…
Not a problem, let me know if you change your mind. ;)

My solution to Facebook’s “privacy” issues is just not to give them any information I don’t want to share with the world.
Hi Dot – That’s probably the best plan of all with Facebook :-)
