Small Potatoes

1.  I dyed my hair back to its natural color.  I am now officially one of those people who has those cliche Facebook (and apparently blog) updates about stuff no one really cares about.  Oh, who am I kidding, I've been one of those people for quite a while.

2.  I am going to be on Animal House on NPR, because in case you haven’t noticed, I like talking about my cats a lot.  Dolce has this icky gunk on her toenails and I am hoping Dr. Weitzman can fix it.  This would be a perfect example of one of those things that no one really cares about but apparently the whole world needs to hear about it anyway.

3.  I saw that my local garden center was selling crape myrtles.  I thought they had misspelled "crape".  And then I had an inexplicable craving for super-thin pancakes.  I blame Julia.

4.  Someone on Pinterest made a Mexican pizza at home that actually looks like a real Mexican pizza from Taco Bell.  I almost died from happiness when I saw it.

5.  I have a boatload of CSA watermelon to eat this week, so I made these cocktails to help me use it up.  Is watermelon the one that makes you have to go to the bathroom if you eat a lot of it?  Excuse me for a moment while I go to the bathroom.

6.  I recently started really freaking out about this whole career change thing.  Sometimes it's just hard to keep the faith, you know?  When I say I'm a writer, people ask what kind of writer, and I tell them non-fiction, mainly food.  They always seem a little disappointed.  People have told me I could write a novel, but I haven't the slightest idea on how to do that!

7.  Speaking of novels, I read Gone Girl.  That book is effed up.  Just effed up.  Books like this do not mesh well with my overactive imagination nor my fear of trusting people.
