I’ve spent the day planning my 1930s dinner menu - and when I told my friend at work about it - she thought it was as cool as I did. It’s fun to share with people who can geek out with you 🙂 ---

I finished a box of Frosted Mini Wheats, so I got that awesome bowl that’s half-filled with extra-sweet shredded wheat crumbs. Mmmm… (Makes me wonder why I don’t just crush the whole box up when i first get it…but that would make the end less special) ---

Green beans. Seriously. I was going to buy two twelve-packs of mini Cadbury Eggs. My sister convinced me I would be wasting $6 so I put them back. Later on, as I was buying fruit, I saw a big bin of green beans. Since I had put the candy back, I had enough money for 1-1/2 lbs. of green beans. I LOVE green beans. Fresh, crunchy, green goodness. Yum. So much better than Cadbury Eggs. ---

I was kissed multiple times by a very attractive girl. 🙂 Granted, they were on the cheek, she’s European, and that’s how she says goodbye to people; but a man can dream, right? > [@Khadaji](#): > > _Code Monkey_, is that you? 🙂 I saw someone reference Jonathan Coulton. _changes iTunes to “The Future Soon”_ ---
