my lunchtime office

So I eat my lunch in the backseat of my car when I'm at work. For a few reasons. One is that I need some alone time which the lunchroom cannot guarantee. Another is that I like to eat outside and see the sun. My current workplace doesn't have a good patch of grass so sometimes I'll go to the park down the road. But when it's cold or weathery outside I just chill in my car. This week I realized that all the hanging out in my car has redefined my backseat. Take a look:

I've inadvertently nested in my car. It started with the pillow in case I wanted to take a nap during lunch. Then I ran out of books to read so I got my three Olympics issue magazines to have something to read. Harry Potter is back up for when those are done. Then I got myself some mints in case I want to freshen my mouth after I eat lunch. This is either genius or madness, but I gotta spend 60 minutes doing somethin'!

Dad praying over dinner tonight:"and please bless Meagan and Michael in Arizona...."
(I'm not the daughter married to a Michael-we had a hard time staying reverent!)

K-"how are you doing?"
J-(2 yrs old) "Good! I'm playing with Me-yi-yo!" (Read:Megio)
Man I'm gonna be sad when they leave!

i've got dental

-went to the dentista now that i've got my very own grown up health insurance, my favorite part about going there, besides the clean teeth, is that I get restocked on my dental supplies-toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss and the like. Keeps me set for like the next couple of months. New today, gum. The hygenist said that chewing sugar free gum helps stimulate the gums. Ok.

-I've got an idea for the 4th of July celebrations at my house, hint #patrioticpanda

-Got some new Sara Bareilles musica. Love her songs. She will be in WA on labor day for a concierto with One Republic. Should I goooo? (not convinced I should yet)

-SYTYCD has fulfilled this hole in my life that I didn't know I had. For some reason I missed a lot of last year. Just watching the auditions has made my life happier. I love seeing people doing amazing things with their bodies and the art they create to tell a story, portray a character, or just relay an emotion. I amazed at the different people they get on the show. Tonight they had a chica who did this Mongolian balancing bowl dance. It was graceful and artistic and unlike anything we would do here in the states. Just being able to see the talent and power is inspiring. Tuesday night is SYTYCD night.

-how much spanglish can I put in one blog post. Yo puedo put more I guess.
