Rice and Randomness

I am really good at random. I swear, my mind misfires in a billion directions all at once. I can start in one place with one thought and end up planet away three thoughts later. Let’s see if I can explain. Ok for instance.
Read on if you wish:
So, this is how it works…
Wow, the leaves look awesome this time of year, especially on this road. Too bad fall leads to winter. I hate driving in winter. Ugh, I hope I don’t have another accident on the ice. I’ll just stay home every time it snows. I could get a lot more done if I stayed home more. I wonder if I should paint my kitchen while I’m home in the winter. Actually, I’d really like better lighting. Speaking of the kitchen, I need to be more creative with cooking. Oh shoot! Did I remember to pack a spoon for Andrew’s lunch, I think I did. I can’t believe he’s gonna be six soon. Hmmm, what to do for his birthday party…..
See how that goes. Brain circuit misfires in several directions. I start somewhere and who knows where I’ll end up.
Which kind of leads me into a couple of points. None of which have anything in common.
For one: Did you know that if you drop your cell phone in water, it could still be salvageable? It is! My cell phone got soaked, drenched, completely water logged and it was complete dead despite my best revival efforts. A guy I know told me to take the phone apart and put the battery in a bowl of rice overnight. I thought: yea right. But, what did I have to lose, my phone was completely dead. So, into the random bowl of rice it went and wouldn’t you know the next morning the rice must have sucked out the moisture and my phone actually worked. I couldn’t believe it!!!!! So, I thought I’d share my random nugget of knowledge.
In other randomness: I love apple crisp. I am not a big pie person. So for those who still have an issue with mums, take comfort in the fact that despite my love for the fall season, I HATE pumpkin pie, but I LOVE apple crisp. So here is the SIMPLE recipe –
4-5 apples (peeled of course)
slice em up and throw them in a pan
In a bowl:
Mix 1/4 cup of sugar
½ cup flour
¼ cup of butter (melted)
1 tsp cinnamon.
Make it. You’ll thank yourself.
Mix together and pour over the apples. Bake at 350 for a half an hour….and YUMMY!!!! I actual double the ingredients to mix together, I love the crisp…so I make lots!!!
Ok quick points, rapid fire randomness
*Hairspray gets out pen ink
*Vix vapor rub on feet calms a cough
*I am glad I don’t live near a Starbucks, I would go everyday, no doubt

*I love the scent "Fresh Linen" from Bath and Body- try it…yum.
*I stay up Monday nights just to watch Jay Leno’s headlines…maybe its because I work for a newspaper that I find this especially entertaining.
*I heard Christmas music in the store already
Ok, phew…it was good to get that out. I know, I’m random.
