I Asked My Husband What I Should Blog About…
Green beans.
What is there to say about green beans?
They are green, and they grow on bushes or poles. They are the main ingredient in a delicious holiday casserole, though as a child I did not appreciate it one bit. That was the dish I avoided, and I usually got away with it as long as there was another vegetable option on my plate. (I favored creamed corn, and still do.) The kind of green beans I most enjoy are the garlicky sauteed variety that come from Chinese restaurants.
These look pretty good though…
Day 28 of 30
I’m soooo clooooose to the end of the month. I shouldn’t quit now, right? *sigh*
We’re currently talking about employment law stuff in my Monday night class, which is interesting. We focused a lot on sexual harassment tonight, and at one point the teacher asked the women to raise their hands if they’d ever been sexually harassed at work. About half the women raised their hands.
Half.
Half! That’s too many!
My arm went up since he didn’t specify that the harasser had to be a fellow employee. There were many times while I was working at the gas station that customers said inappropriate things. I can remember a particular conversation two of the mall maintenance guys were having about the shape of my backside… it clearly wasn’t intended to be a private conversation.
Sometimes I’m really glad I’m not in my twenties anymore, and sometimes I’m even glad that I’m out of shape because I encounter far less of that sort of attention.
Was it Friday Today?
All day I’ve felt like it’s been the wrong day of the week. For a while it felt like a Sunday, and other times it felt like a lazy Tuesday. I guess that can happen when you get an extra day off work.
So, it was Black Friday, all day, despite my feelings that it wasn’t. I did actually order a couple of simple gifts via Amazon a few minutes ago, but other than that I didn’t shop. I still haven’t decided if I’m going out to buy a hoop tomorrow. I suspect it will depend on the weather.
We Made It!
We survived! We managed to get through Thanksgiving and not to get sucked too far into the Mac vs. PC debate, or get into trouble on the variety of political issues the family members brought up over dinner. We don’t tend to come down on the same side of very many issues…
The highlight of the evening was definitely when my father-in-law said the dinner prayer, and called God the Master of the Universe. It was all we could do to hold off laughing til the end of the prayer. By the power of Gray Skull! *gigglesnort*
Library
The book I reserved made its way to my local library today. The husband took me over after work to pick it up. I haven’t started reading it yet, and there’s really no guarantee I’ll finish it, but that’s sort of the beauty of libraries. If it doesn’t meet my needs, I can just give it back.
I got The Elements of Persuasion, and I picked it for two reasons. First and foremost, it’s a book about storytelling. While I make one heck of an audience, I am not a natural storyteller and this is something I would like to learn more about. Second, it’s a book about selling, which is something I’ve learned painfully little about in my business management related classes.
Hopefully it teaches me something, but if not, there will be many more books to try.
