A scary sky

 On April 28th, after work I was headed to the bank to do my night drop. The sky was really dark and the white water tower really stood out against the sky. I was sitting at a red light so I snapped a picture because, well, that's what bloggers do when they have nothing else going on for the week.

Rebus

 At work they regularly do fun little challenges for employees. This month they are doing puzzles. There is a crossword, maze, word search and rebus. I printed them out to do them and was on the rebus puzzles and got stuck on one.

I went in search of some pictures of this type of puzzle and found the exact page that they used for the challenge. It was a PDF file so I just took a picture of my screen to share here.

Can you figure them all out? If not it also included the answers. With the exception of that one I had them all right.

My craziness.

 I told you that I've been working on Christmas already. I actually started it right after Christmas last year. The plan was to just buy one gift per person each month. We are currently on month 5 and I now have 8 gifts for everyone.

When I get them, I wrap them and put them in the appropriate tote, I bought extra large gift bags that will hold all the gifts.

They are currently just sitting on the bench in my dining area

None of the gifts are marked as to who they are for but I know exactly who's bag is who's so that's all that matters. 

I suppose since I already have 8 I could stop at any time. Will I? Who knows. I may end up with more gifts than I can fit in the bags. This might be a little much but for this year, I'm having fun with it. None of the gifts are very expensive. I just see things and think, I'm getting that for so and so. There are even a few hand made gifts in there.

Like a lamb to the slaughter

 I needed some hamburger and went to the store that I used to work at. I should have known better. They rarely have what I want and lately the meat case has looked pitiful. I wanted burger so I could make some meatballs and some taco meat so I was looking for about 3 pounds. They had exactly 2 packs of burger and neither one looked very good.

I asked if there was anyone in the meat department. The deli girl went and looked and walked out with one, one pound pack of burger. She said he was working on it then. She asked if this was enough.

I looked at the burger in the pack and thought, no way is that extra lean. I even said it out loud but she made no attempt to go check to see if it was correct. I wish I would have taken a picture of the raw burger but I didn't think of it. Plus it wasn't close to how much I wanted. Against my better judgement I bought it.

I knew when I was cooking it that it wasn't extra lean. There was way too much grease in it.

I got over a 1/2 cup of grease from this meat and I even took a little video of it after I poured it into the foam tray

Now that I look at the price sticker I'm even wondering if that price is correct. $3.63 a pound for extra lean burger seems a little on the cheap side. Did I go back to the store? No, I didn't because I didn't have to buy it but I did anyway.
