Sandwich Etiquette

I had a friend over for an impromptu lunch. I made a fabulous sandwich full of messy goodness, put it on a plate and handed it to my friend.

Well, she looked at the sandwich. And she looked at me. I looked at the sandwich. And I looked at her.

She asked if I was going to cut the sandwich.

I hadn't planned to, but I handed her the knife and told her to go crazy. She said her mother always said to cut a sandwich before eating it. My mother and I didn't talk of such things, so I was never given this advice. But we were also allowed to dip our fingers in cake batter - so perhaps I missed out on the sandwich etiquette.

What do you think? Should a sandwich be cut before eating it? Or can you just freestyle and enjoy it as it is? Let me know your thoughts at Facebook This could be why I'm eating lunch all by myself.

It's Tinglng, Dammit!

I'm doing a little science project/product review. I have extremely thin lips - nothing new - they've always been thin. Must be all that talking all my life. Truly the only skinny thing about me. I'm all about better living though science - so I am currently trying a hydrating lip plumper. I chose Grande Lips simply because it was in a salon, it was available, and I didn't have to go online and order it. Did I mention I was lazy? I went with Clear tone, that way I wasn't cornered into one color. Directions read to apply it twice a day to clean, dry lips for 30 days. After application I am then free to apply throughout the day with any combinations of other lip products, or alone. This is my lips this morning before applying the plumper. This is after. There was a slight tingling sensation. It's working dammit! "Don't be alarmed if you feel a slight tingling sensation; that how you know that...

Singing all by Myself

Have you ever been singing loudly with your friends, or a group of people and suddenly everyone stops. If they aren't staring at you, they are laughing. It happens to me quite frequently. There are only two reasons. One is because I cannot sing and the second is I often mishear lyrics. Here are a few of my favorite misheard lyrics by me (and the correct lyrics in case you don't know the words, either. You are welcome!) P robably the worst misheard lyric I claim is from Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. The lyrics are: "And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong" I totally blame my Catholic education for what I've been singing for 30+ years: And we'll only be naked in Christ Then there is Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins....

It Could Have Been an Entirely Different Movie

For years, perhaps decades, one of my favorite movies was "Same Time Next Year" staring Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn. It is about Doris and George who meet by chance at a small beach side inn and spend a night together. They decide to meet every year at the same inn on the same weekend and do so for the next 25 years. Oh, yeah, both are married to other people. One of the rules of their tryst is that they cannot contact each other and can only see each other at the assigned date. Wow. Writing this out it really sounds like a terrible movie. It is not. It is actually quite sweet, sometimes sad and there is never a doubt that they both love their spouses. But they also enjoy their time together for 25 years. Of course, the viewer doesn't see all 25 reunions. Montages of world events are shown over Johnny Mathis singing a beautiful song "The Last Time I Felt Like This." The years of the a...
