Happy Tuesday! The weather is crisp but nice! Yesterday was a little too chilly for no warning, which can be typical for Utah, lol. We love our weather fluctuations, right?? As if the fact that it's game 5 of the world series wasn't enough...it's also our annual Jack Taco night. I figured that might not be enough for some people, so I went looking. There's not a whole lot going on today, but I did want to comment on some of them.
National Potato Day -
the potato has been one of the most maligned items that we eat. Is it a
vegetable? Is it just carbs? Talk to the Irish, they lived on them
for a long time... The potato has much to give us. But... if you're
like me, they're good with so many other things. Like butter, sour
cream, cheese, bacon, cottage cheese, chopped ham, chili, the list is
endless. How do you like to eat your potato? Sometimes I just love a
baked potato with butter and garlic. I do love mashed potatoes...but we
don't make them healthy. I've tried the whole chicken broth thing, and
it just hasn't worked for me. I probably should try again, but hey, at
this point, my family might rebel. So, just for educational purposes, lol, here's an informative video on potatoes.

Black Cat Day - so,
I guess in line with this being Halloween week, it's black cat day.
Personally, I am not a superstitious person, so it's no big deal. We
used to have a black cat, and I loved it's sleek fur. Are you a superstitious person? Well... I figured this video clip was good for the day and a laugh...

Cranky Co-workers Day - Everyone has that one co-worker that seems to be cranky. They struggle with finding joy and having happiness in their day. Nothing goes right from the copier always being jammed to the pop machine being out of ice. Some are the ones that say "but it always rains on the weekends." Regardless of who they are (is it you???) they are part of our working life, and we become fond of them. (Like Oscar the Grouch.) Sometimes you play jokes on them, sometimes you feed them candy, hoping that will sweeten them up. What have you done that you find helps? I am fortunate not to have run into many, so I can usually either turn their focus to something else, or leave the room, lol.
so
- if you need something to cheer you up, music always helps with that.
If you're feeling cranky, or dealing with a co-worker that's cranky,
let's crank up some tunes and see if we can dance that crank out!
