I am grateful that my boss trusts me so much. It gives me the opportunity to work from home.
Except yesterday, she told me that she wants me to handle ALL of the quarterly taxes for 1st quarter. Which means I have to do them for 65 clients.
So if I am not here very much, please be patient. It's like this every 3 months now.

Okay, so I am going to give a short overview of this story. If you want the whole story, go to the Today show.
About 40 years ago, these 2 guys were in London and saw a little lion in a tiny cage. They bought him and raised him. He was so gentle and loving.
Eventually he got too big for where they were raising him, so they took him to Africa to be introduced into the wild.
A year later, they went back to see him. The following video shows what happened. I was crying, and all my kids were crying. Granted, we are an emotional family, but still.
Someday, when Christ has come again and the wild animals will become tame, I am going to find me a lion to hug. I can't wait!

I have a grandfather clock. My dad made it a few years ago for each child and for my Mom for Christmas. I love it and I love hearing the chimes.
So last week, The Doctor's mom, 2 of his sisters, and their 5 children, came down to see The Teenager's play. After the play, they all came over here.
When the clock would chime, one of the nephews would go up to the front room where it was, and then come back down. Finally, when it was chiming 10:00, he said, "Someone is ding dong ditching you again."
LOL I thought that was so funny! I guess he has never heard a grandfather clock before. I also was glad to hear that it has a different name that what I called it growing up!
I eat kind of differently. For instance...
When I eat a PopTart, I will only eat ones that don't have frosting. I break them in half, then each in half again. I eat the filling part first to get it out of the way, then enjoy just the crust from the sides.
When I eat a Twix, I eat it one of two ways. I either take a bite, then suck on it until the cookie part has softened and then eat it all, or I will eat the chocolate off the sides, then eat the caramel off the top, and then eat the cookie. I eat all my candy bars section by section.
When I eat my dinner, I will eat the vegetables first to get them out of the way. Then I will eat the other items one at a time. I can't take one bite of one and one bite of another. The flavors mix too much.
I don't care for pickles, black olives, and raisins. I hate onions and peppers (including bell peppers), raw broccoli and cauliflower, black licorice, green olives, and radishes. I am a master at picking the "bad" stuff out of food.
I do have to say that I have gotten better since I got married. The Doctor has introduced me to new foods and made me try them. And I liked them. Some of the foods I used to not eat are chili, crab, lobster, and cabbage (green and purple). I hated touching raw chicken, and now I can skin it!
So I guess this post merged from eating my food weird, to foods I hate, to how I have grown up since I have become a grown up. LOL This is how my head works!
So what food quirks do you have?
