And the Dundy for Most Random Blogger goes to....

(For those of you who missed it, that is a The Office reference in the title.)

So as I have been blogging more and more (and suprisingly loving it more and more), I have come to realize that I am the world's most sexy, random blogger. (That sexy part was a joke... thus proving my point about being totally random!) This, however, comes at no suprise. In fact, I don't even mind being the world's most random blogger. Actually, I kind of like it.; it pretty much embodies exactly who I am...

So... As a forewarning,--3 or 4 blogs too late-- if you are going to follow my posts, be prepared for some totally unexpected, out-of-the-blue content.

And speaking of randomness, let me just go ahead and share a highlight of my day:

Before 10 o'clock even rolled around this morning, I was asked to make several copies of an event itenerary. Being a bit nosey curoious, I took the opportunity to read over the whole program as I was making those copies. And this is what I came by:

"2:00 p.m. Seminar.............................................Harry Pugh"

(Okay, that is not actually verbatum. The "2:00 p.m. Seminar" is something I kind of pulled out of my... well, that's just say I made it up for the sake of my story because I can't remember the actual event that Harry Pugh was leading. But trust me, Harry Pugh was the legit name on the paper; I wouldn't make this up.)

Does the name "Harry Pugh" sit funny with anyone else?!?! Because as soon as I spotted it, I couldn't help but laugh! I wonder if he is any relation to Curly Pugh?! (Only Julianne would get that, but I serisouly knew heard of a guy named Curly Pugh...) And with all of that being said, let me just say this: If your last name is "Pugh" and at some point in your life you mate, there are a few first names that you might want to be weary of when picking one out for your kid!! (That advice also applies to all you last-name-Johnsons out there!)
**If your name is Curly/Harry Pugh and you happen to be reading this, I apologize right now... Blame your parents. Not me!**

Going on to other recent developments...

2) My cooking skills are improving expanding. Not to say that I am a bad cook, but I just don't know all the tiny ins-and-outs and how-to's of authentic cuisine. (By authentic, I am referring to the fact that it doesn't come from a Kraft box, Ramen package, or Ragu can.) But with the help of a few gracious women I know--shout out to Carolyn and Milaray!!--I am catching on. For instance, last night, I made Chicken Picatta with a side of Lemon-Buttered Broccolli, and it was probably the fanciest meal that I have ever produced. Also, suprisingly, it was probably one of the easiest--well, maybe not the easiest, but it was pretty darned simple. I felt so "gourmet" because it entailed using wine in the actual cooking. And there was just something about the aroma from that steaming wine cooking of a hot pan that makes me feel saavy! But not to be the biggest critic of my own work, the finished product was just okay... For my personal taste, It was a bit too wine-y flavored. (But that's okay becuase it is all about trial-and-error, right?) So next time, instead of wine, I am going to try using chicken bullion--which, to me, sounds just as fancy gourmet! The broccolli, on the other hand, I really liked. It was zesty and sweet; a good combination on the palet! (Like my "foodie" lingo? Ha!)

Tonight, I try my hand at spagetti. No, not Ragu and Noodles, but a more authentic version involving Italian Sausage, Ground Beef, and Parmasean Cheese on the bottom of the noodles! (You may not understand that last, parmasean cheese part, but I think Milaray will, at least.)

Also, more exciting news:

Nancy comes home today!!! (Home = America.) I am not sure of all the flight details but at some point, she'll will be setting foot back on America soil in good ole, grandeur New York City. I can't wait to hear my Lova's* voice!
*Lova - not literal; more of a figure of speach; nickname.

Anywho, there you have it: A few erratic happenings in my day/life. Random, much? (I know they don't relate to eachother, but as you avid readers should know by now, it is just how it is going to be.)
