The blog is called Random Rants, so that's what you're going to get, because I haven't really done much that's that interesting, but I do have a few things to say. So this may seem a bit repetitive. Welcome to my world!
1. The TV show Robin Hood totally made me into a liar! Here I was, trying to get other people hooked on the show, or, more specifically, Richard Armitage, and what do they do? They send Guy of Gisborne away for 2 weeks! So, if you have started watching and are wondering what the heck I was talking about, because there is no hot guy in leather pants that is torn between good and evil, that is because the day after I posted that entry, he disappeared. Maybe he's filming a romantic comedy. Let's hope so. They have now teased me by saying he will be back next week. I hope it's true. So if I talked you into watching the show, hang in there. He'll be back.
2. I just started reading a book called "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's hilarious, and I really should be reading it instead of writing this. It's exactly what I'm in the mood for right now, because it got all chilly and rainy this week, and what I need is a good laugh in this kind of weather. Who's with me?
3. Does anyone have any tips on how to like eating healthy food? I'm just not interested in veggies right now, but really should be. There will be a high school reunion in the summer, I think, and I want to look fabulous.
4. 46 days until New Moon. Have you seen Taylor Lautner lately? So much better. Which isn't hard, since he looked like a 12-year-old little girl in Twilight. So I feel like I can still be a Jacob fan without losing face.
5. Last thing: Has anyone been at a performance of some kind and been asked, "Is there a doctor in the house?" Well, I have, on Friday. We were at a performance of "Into the Woods" and there was a piece of the set that was a giant tree that rotated so it could also serve as Granny's house, Rapunzel's tower, and Cinderella's mother's grave. After Little Red Riding finished her big solo, she ran back into Granny's house, the house started rotating and there was a blood-curdling scream. My first thought was, "I don't remember that part," and then Cinderella's mom popped out of the tree and asked for "Dad", and the Narrator came to the front and asked, "Is there a doctor in the house?" And, it being a full house, there was a doctor in the house. Then the curtain dropped and someone finally turned off Little Red Riding Hood's mike. And those fabulous cast members pulled it together and finished the show. Ugly Stepsister subbed for Little Red, and some high school kid that had been interning or something drove over from her house to finish for Ugly Stepsister. I was quite impressed that they finished. The injury ended up being a broken or sprained ankle. Ouchy. Not fun AT ALL. My aunt and uncle were the directors, and apparently, they pushed Little Red around in a wheelchair for closing night on Saturday. Awesome. I'm still waiting for someone to come to the stage and say, "Is there a flute teacher/performer in the house?" I'm all over that.

I made a really healthy soup for dinner last night. I'm posting the recipe today on my recipe blog. It was delicious and oh so healthy!
Is this your first time around with Good Omens? Have you come to the Other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Gosh I love this book. I makes me do the really embarassing wheezy laugh.
And I hope that Guy comes back with shorter hair. His long hair gives me the heebs.
Maybe one day they WILL have a piper down and ask if there's a flautist in the house. But they will only say flautist if it's a really uppity joint. It could be your big break. Or theirs. You never know....
And Rachel K., don't you think that the long hair is supposed to give you the heebs?!?!
to eat healthy I cut back a little on the carbs and add some (but not tons) fats that are more satisfying.
For example, I try to eat a big salad with these yummy ingredients:
fresh lettuce that I like
1/2 avocado
1 oz goat cheese
1 yummy juicy fruit (like nectarine)
balsamic vinaigrette that I like (not low-cal but I don't use a ton)
then some greek yogurt on the side and maybe a bowl of canned or fresh soup. Maybe 1 slice of bread if you like (but bread cal's add up fast)
Rachel F, I always appreciate a good healthy soup this time of year. Rachel K, this is my first time around, and I'm only about 10 pages in (it's been a busy week), but I'm already laughing out loud. I was snickering while reading it in bed the other night, which may or may not have been the reason Tim couldn't sleep. And yes, please, shorter hair for Guy. I know he's supposed to look creepy, but I'd rather look at him with the mullet than the girl hair. Emma, I only hope you're there with me when they call for a flutist in the house. Anne, thanks for the tips. I'll sub in something equally filling for avacaco, because green slimy things make me feel queasy.
Wow that sounds like an exciting play! I love the piper down comment! Haha! I definitely need to curl up with a book in this weather, I just haven't made it very far in Ann of Green Gables...
I don't know if I told you this, but on my brother's flight home from his mission, a guy on the airplane was having trouble, and they were diverting somewhere, but then he died, and then they went on their way to the original destination. Creepy huh? I feel sorry for whoever had to sit next to the body the whole way. I think they just covered him with a blanket... And of course I feel sorry for the guy and his family - how horrific!
And lastly, I love vegetables, BTW Elise only wanted "cooked broccoli" for lunch, so funny! I just load lots of butter, salt, or cheese on it. I can eat anything soaked in butter, but then I guess that negates the healthiness...
What is your recipe blog?
I am going to try a roasted tomato soup recipe tonight!
Neil Gaiman wrote an hilariously funny book that isn't scorchingly creepy? I'm in!!! I'll go to Amazon.com this week. YAY!!!! I recently finished Coraline and loved it.
I often fantasize (that sp. doesn't look right) about being someplace and someone yells for a doctor. The person that I'm with says, "Your a doctor!" Everyone turns to me and I say wittily, "Well, I'm a psychotherapist, unless you want to blame your mother for your sprained ankle, I've got nothing."....maybe one day....*sigh*
My daughter recently became the "crazy grain lady" in her ward. She makes delicious stuff with grains. Would you be interested in some of those things? Recipes? information?
Awhile ago, I was at a Microsoft conference where they asked for a doctor during the opening remarks. Apparently, someone died from a heart attack in the back of the room. They had to cancel the rest of the conference so that the coroner could investigate, but they sent us all full copies of Microsoft Office because of "the inconvenience." I felt bad for the poor guy who went out that way, but since I really didn't want to be at the conference in the first place, I was really happy it was canceled.
I'm with you, I don't think anyone will ever stand up and ask for a lawyer. And if they did, I don't think I would admit that I am one. I would be afraid that they wanted one for mischievous purposes --- to ridicule or something.
Jeanette, the recipe blog is my sister-in-law's, but I'll post the link on my blog so you can get her delicious recipes. My favorite is the peanut butter marshmallow chocolate sandwich cookies.
