One important link

It was a quiet Friday at work. Sue was off celebrating her birthday and the phones weren’t ringing.  It was, however a busy day for paperwork.  Who enjoys paperwork?  I have to take numerous breaks to get through the monotony of it.  It has to be done, simply overhead but a must. Ho Hum.

The one important link:  Sustainable Food – Sustainable Agriculture.  Buy local.  Here is the link on Examiner.

A movie review:   “Up In The Air” with George Clooney.  I just love that guy!  He is so real. So NOT Hollywood. 

A very enjoyable movie. The scenes were clean. The language was typical:  the occasional nasty swearing.   Seriously. Must they ALWAYS swear?   In my world, swearing very rarely exists.  I really don’t understand why it has to be included in our entertainment. 

In this movie, an organization flies it’s employees around the world to fire people for other organizations. Not a nice job at all.   Along comes a young, intelligent woman who has a brilliant idea to “E-Fire”.  Not popular with the executives who want to keep racking up the sky miles.   George Clooney’s character is told to show this woman the ropes.  This interferes somewhat with his usual stream-lined modus operandi. 

I always gage a movie based on whether both Ted and I stay awake to watch the entire film.  This one we both did.  It MUST be good

Some other ramblings….

I am getting back into cake decorating.  It has become my mission to embark on the more difficult cakes.  To help me with my task, I purchased this book:

Anyone familiar with it?   That’s a cake on the cover.  Cool! 

Friday foodie fun was as follows:

One of my all time favorite yogurts: FAGE.  There is a manufacturing facility in New York and I was hoping they would respond to an email I sent to them.  Haven’t heard anything yet.   I like the plain, fat free Greek yogurts the best.  I can then add my own fruit and nut blend for taste, flavor, texture, and crunch.

I had my lunch at work which was:

• 2/3 cup broccoli slaw
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 3 grape tomatoes
• 2 small radishes, sliced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup garbanzo beans
• 1/4 cup brown rice
• 3 oz water packed tuna
• 2 1/2 TBS Newman’s Own Low fat Sesame Ginger Dressing

It must have been my walk with Shane this morning that upped the appetite.  We went out for one hour EXACTLY which resulted in 3.95 miles. 

The other night I up loaded Pandora on my iphone.  That’s for when I’m on the run without Shane.  I would hate to be rude to our boy by listening to music while he was loyally at my side. 

Anyone have Pandora?  Do you like it?
