this is the sun's birthday

I've been kind of obsessed with Whitacre lately. I've been leaving him on as we're falling asleep, and listening to the CD I have pretty much the entire workday. It reminds me how much I love singing with a choir, and how much I miss it.

Tonight, I tried making potato chips. We bought purple potatoes and sweet potatoes at the market, and the plan was to make purple potato, sweet potato and eggplant chips to have as a medley, but our oven thwarted my plans. It has this affinity towards getting way hotter than it's supposed to, so not only did I turn the heat down, but I also cut the time by ten minutes or so. I burned a couple batches before I got smart and only started trying to cook a couple chips at a time, to try and get the temp and time right. It didn't ever really work out, but I managed to get enough to be somewhat satisfied with the result. I have enough to take some for a snack to work tomorrow, and maybe some for Tuesday, as well. I'll probably try the sweet potatoes next. If anyone has any suggestions for home-made potato chips, please let me know!

This afternoon we went to the Apple Store and did a little more grocery shopping. Now we're finishing up laundry, and I'm about to figure out what to bring for lunch to work tomorrow. I've slept in way too late this weekend, so getting up in the morning is going to be tough, but I'm determined to look decent tomorrow AND make it to work on time. Since, you know, I didn't make it past putting on a t-shirt, jeans and a hat. At least it was a cute hat? (plus it meant I didn't have to do my hair. Win!)

Time to go make either white bean spread or hummus to take to work with carrots tomorrow. Haven't decided which. It will be a split second decision!
