Things that baffle me

I will limit myself to talking about 2 things that have baffled me lately.

First - why do people talk loudly about you when you are right there and can hear what they are saying? This past Saturday I was in line at Einstein Bros. bagel in Milwaukee and I pushed my sunglasses on top of my head and these ladies behind me started talking about how my engagement ring had to be cubic zirconia. How dumb are they? I mean, I have a very nice sized ring, but no one is going to confuse me with Zsa Zsa Gabor or Elizabeth Taylor in the jewelry department. Usually I would have addressed them and let them know I knew exactly what they were talking about, but since we were on 27th & Oklahoma and they out weighed me by about 200#s I actually decided to let it go. But I am still baffled.

Second - if you are one of my customers, why on earth would you call me at 5:56am? I mean, don't get me wrong, I am in the office by roughly 7am each day and usually available until at least 5pm. But you call at 5:56am? Did you really think I would be here and answer the phone? BAFFLING!

Finally, a friend of mine recently posted about Penzey's Spices and just how wonderful they are. She specifically mentioned my addiction to the Salsa seasoning sprinkled on Mac & Cheese. Well I had this delicious combination yesterday and I can reconfirm, it is absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! If you have never tried Penzey's spices, please, pick some up ASAP - you don't know what you are missing. And on my macaroni and cheese tangent, let me say that I really want to eat either mac & cheese or buttermilk pancakes every night for dinner - isn't that the most bizarre craving you have ever heard?

Have a good day everyone!!!!

Okay.
It's official.
I need to go to Penzeys and buy the salsa seasoning and might need to take a sick day to stay home to make mac & cheese and test it out.
Mac & cheese is totally a sick day food for me.

Ang-you gotta love the girls from the south side. Pensey's rocks. My mouth just waters in that place. They are a national chain that is headquartered in Brookfield. Way to go WI!
