1. Last week 'T' sent a few of us an email asking us to send/post a photo of our pantries, because apparently you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their pantry. The only rule was you had to take the photo 'as is' - no tidying!
My analysis is that my pantry says 'Amanda lives in an old house, with a G-H-E-T-T-O pantry. A pantry that doesn't even count as a pantry. It's more like a food cupboard. She apparently likes canned lentils a bit too much, and hoards plastic bags.' I think that would be a great profile description on Lava Life, don't you agree?
But I do love those 1950's Tupperware lid holders on the door! Whenever someone house sits for us, they can never find the lids, because the bottoms are in a drawer, and the lids are in the pantry.2. Every once in a while I'm oddly drawn to the TLC show 'Toddlers & Tiaras'. It's about the US child pageant circuit. I try SO HARD not to judge the families (mostly mothers) on that show, but damn I find the whole thing creepy. I don't understand the concept of a child beauty/talent contest that requires the child to look like a grown-up, and I don't understand spending $3000 on a dress for a 4 year old. Not to mention the superficial message it sends to these little girls. But there I go...judging.
3. Warren was in a cheeky mood this morning. I wanted to load the pantry photo onto the Mac (I'm used to doing that on the PC). So I looked for the little slit where I could slide the camera card into, but couldn't find one.
Amanda: Do I need a cable to load photos onto the Mac?
Warren: Yup, (grabs it out of the camera bag and hands it to me) how's that for service!
Amanda: (looks blankly at the cable and back at the camera). Do I plug it in to the camera? I don't see a hole that matches the cable?
Warren: (takes the camera and cable away from Amanda). Nope, no plugging. You simply hold the end of the cable over the camera, wave it around, and it will pick-up 'photo' signals in the area.
Jackass.
4. Last 2 episodes EVER of Battlestar Galactica next Friday! Then, we have the prequel 'Caprica' to look forward to!
5. I'm thinking of leaving my long-time dentist. I've been going to the same dentist my whole life, but he's no longer convenient and my ortho-dentist at Chinook has TVs at every station, and a spa attached! But I feel SO GUILTY and am afraid to call. Is that weird?

1. I actually didn't take a photo of my pantry because its "more like a food cupboard."
2. I don't understand spending $3000 for a dress for anyone! (I must admit I have watched the show, too. Its hard not to judge.)
3. This one was good for a morning laugh! At the risk of being labelled a jackass, I would have said something similar to what Warren said. NB: I also would have asked the same question you asked. ;-)
5. I am also trying to switch dentists and finding it difficult to "break up" with my old one. I thought if I just stop calling them, they'd get the hint, but they keep calling me! Maybe they need closure.
Here's what your pantry says to me....you are someone who likes to create in the kitchen. You don't seem to have any prepackaged foods, which means you must like to cook! You're pantry is filled with ingredients, and healthy ones at that! Also, the fact that you are hoarding plastic bags has "dog" written all over it ;-)
I switched my dentist a few years ago and it was the best decision I ever made! (ok, well maybe that's going a little far....but it was a good one) I say, power to you!
Bahahaaaa! Closure! Shawna, you are funny!
You and Warren are so funny!
Theresa, that was funny!
Funny! Funny!
Clearly I should go back and read more comments.
