Lunch Lady Land

I have had a strange addiction to pear crisp for the last month. I have made 3 pans of pear crsip this month. I figure I went through about 30 pears, 3 sticks of butter. I have also developed a new found love for a redesigned recipe for sloppy joe's. All I think mom added was garlic and onions. Since mom made them 3 days ago, I have eaten 6! My insides must be disgusted with my decisions lately. Every time that I eat a sloppy joe, I think of the song "Lunchlady Land" by Adam Sandler. I can't get it out of my head. At least the song is entertaining. 

Bay Beach is finally closed for the season! After we closed the park off to the public, we spent an hour-ish riding the Zippen Pippen and Sea Dragon. I'll admit, I could only handle riding the dragon once. That ride makes me seasick.

A few days ago, I was raking some leaves and stirred up a bee colony. I got stung on the arm then ran into the house. As I was placing an ice pack on my arm, I felt something in my pants. I got stung in the thigh. I pulled my pants down and found another one attached to my thigh. Before I had a chance to kill that one, I got my third sting. I finally decided to take my pants completely off and shake them out, to find a 4th bee lurking. I killed that sucker with my bear hands. I was stung more times that day than I had been in over a decade. There's a lesson to be learned from all of this. Where one bee goes, another will follow. 

A friend invited me to Milwaukee to see an art show last week. Some of her art was displayed there. It was definitely more fun than I expected. It included live performances, a lady who painted someone's entire body over the course of the evening, paintings, ceramics, and a broad audience. We were all told to come in cocktail attire. My friends and I did, but about 50% of the people there were dressed in a fashion trend that I can only hope, never makes it's way out of the city.

I lost my tweezers about a month ago. Since then, I have been letting my eyebrows grow out. Like many teens in the 90's, I was stupid and over plucked. Since then, I have made multiple, short lived attempts at growing them back. It is hard to get over how stupid it looks to have random hairs growing all over the place and realize that when the bald spots go away, it will all be worth it. I'm thinking of buying a product to speed up the process. I have done some research, and it could take over a year to achieve my goal. I'm already seeing impressive progress. Random hairs are popping up all over the place. Ha! Wish me luck.
