Invent this

I'm eating my lunch.

My oldest is at preschool and my little one is napping. I'm eating quickly so I can get to my chores.
I was enjoying my soy marinated egg... (the one that kids would make fun of me for as a kid)... they are delicious. I was also eating my peanut flavored noodles with chicken. Then a light-bulb went off... it's an old light-bulb...I get this same idea every few blips... but I rarely remember to write it down until today.

I wish there was something... that I could easily transport food items I make that I want to share with people I like. I love sharing things I like. I love giving something I love to someone I care about.

Remember those transporter thingys where those star trekkers ...whatever they are ... how their food would materialize? Can't we do something like that in each home - so we can share with each other ...or in this case foodie friends? I have a friend, Carrie who is a cook after my own heart. I'd love to virtually pop-in via some screen and have her transport a taste of her yummy concoctions into my kitchen. I'd love to do the same.

Part of my problem in getting food out to friends...is the short shelf-life and dragging two kids along... making sure someone is home... obstacles. Oh and if something totally random turns out great (like a veggie soup I made recently) - I'd like something to analyze it and tell me how much of each ingredient I actually put in.

Also... I'd love an idea of having a few families do a meal group. Where we each take a day and make enough meals for however big/small the group is...so we all end up cooking once or twice a week. The only catch is finding people who cook like you - and have good taste.

Maybe instead of all the pills to help boys get their stick up... maybe they could invent something that would actually make a difference.

ps. If you don't read my blog understanding 99% of the time my tongue is in my cheek... well - I'm not sure what to say to you.

The problem is

Even though I love the convenience of my iPhone I have found that I am forgetting to answer emails.

I like checking email. Have been an addict since I was... 15 or 16 when I was in an Internet class. Remeber IRC and there was this "university" online where we used code to create our own rooms on campus and "interactive" objects... that was all text. Boy...that's a long ways from where we are now...and I am sitting in a rockin' chair reminiscing about the "olden" days.

But back to email. Now with iPhone I just take a peek on the phone and I don't have to turn on my computer all day unless I blog...but the problem is I check the email and then I forget to check it on my computer to respond. So I know there are loads of emails that haven't been responded to because I just...forget after I've looked at them. I pretty much need to respond as soon as I read the email to remember to reply. I have very bad short-term memory. Bad long-term memory too.

There was something else totally random I have been wanting to post...but I can't remember. And it's driving me crazy.

oh wait...here it is... Bluetooth.

My car is equipped with bluetooth so I'll dial my honey in the car with the girls and say "Call ---- Work" and in the back you'll hear my baby shout it - then my oldest. Then after bossy Betty confirms the number she asks, do you want to "Call ---- Work?" I tell bossy Betty , YES. And in the back I hear the baby shout YES and then the oldest shout YES. It makes me smile every time. Little things, I tell ya... it's the little things.

...I'm off to go change some poop. CHEERS!
