Cross word puzzles

Have you ever stared at something for so long and hard that you found yourself hating an inanimate object? Right now I really really hate the this dang cross word puzzle that I'm working on. It will not budge and the hints are terrible. 

Other than that a nasty storm is rolling in. It's only 1:45 and it looks like 7:30 and the sun is going down and everything is grey. The wind is starting to pick up and the temperature is dropping. The air is still regardless of the wind, the fan in my office is on low spinning around on the ceiling to keep the air from going stale. I can't tell if there is rolling thunder or if someone in the gym is playing a loud base drum. Still waiting for the rain... We will see....... 

Then again maybe not.

And so I have discovered that I am not the next Julie and Julia. She somehow managed to cook through an entire cook book and blog about her efforts and I can not even make it past the letter C. 
My next entry was going to be about Dandelion greens, however, I thought to myself, "whoever is reading my blog has full access to the internet. If they were really interested in how to eat them they could easily just look them up on google themselves." A sad but very very true epiphany to be sure. 


On another note. Jack is going to take me to see Iron Man 2 tonight. He said it was decent so now we just have to await my verdict. (Jack went and saw the midnight release showing. Personally I prefer to be sleeping during the midnight hours and so opted out of going.) We're thinking about going out and grabbing some food before hand. I'm guessing the choices will end up between TGI Fridays OR 
Chick fil-A.  If you read this post and think of something more delicious that we should be eating quickly text me (319-558-6093) and submit your location. If not I will either be enjoying myself a steak or chicken sandwich. Both most likely accompanied by sweet tea. 


I got sunburned on saturday, but am recovering nicely. My goal this summer is to walk away without a farmers tan or any blatant lines for that matter. I guess we will see.
