Mind Your Own Beeswax!

So, I go to the gas station today. I'm a little bit frustrated when I try to use my new debit card in the pay at the pump and it doesn't work. eh, whatever, I got time. So, I go in and the lady says that sometimes debit cards won't work because it charges as a credit card either way, so if your card is set up as debit...something or other.
I give her the card and go back to the car and fill up. When I go back in to pay (where they run the card there) the man working with her is handling the transaction. OK. So then the card is declined (I just activated it yesterday, so there is some kind of issue). I'm getting agitated. So I tell her "Here, just put it on this card, I just would rather have used the debit. But it's new and I guess there is some kind of issue."
Then the man says, "WELL, did you know that in February, all the credit card interest rates are going to double?!!! yeah, that's because THAT president that EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY wanted is going to cause that with ...." he said some more very negative comments. I wish I would have said, "hey. Obama is my dad!"
I don't care AT ALL what his opinion of the president is. And it's not his business what mine is. But what I especially don't like is that I am purchasing something in your store. If you want to discuss something other than that, maybe you could talk about the lovely day instead of risking offending me when you have NO idea what my feelings are about the president and don't know that he ISN'T my dad/uncle/facebook friend, etc.

Just give me my card back. jerk.

13 days?! Really? That's a long time in blog time. I apologize for the absence, and enjoy the following photo posts.

My New Office

Here is a look at my new office. I think it's starting to feel homey. It is a little bit 7th Signal Bde centered, but I can only decorate with what I have. Maybe the CAB will get me some decor soon. :) I do have that Gerber Daisy plant and CAB ornament hanging from the corkboard courtesy of my new Sr Spouses. So, that's a start.

I fear I am becoming "that" blogger. All kitty. All the time. but look how cute she is!

Root Veggies

I don't have any pictures of the prep, but my mom was here last week visiting and making some great curtains for all over our house, and she made some DELICIOUS roasted root vegetables.

3 carrots, 3 turnips, 4 beets, 1/2 an onion, some olive oil, celery flakes and parsley flakes roasted at 400 (? I think?) for 40 mins.

They were SO GOOD! And very Autumn looking, huh?

Pancake Memories

I remember my dad making some awesome pancakes . We'd eat them before school, Flinstone vitamin sharing the Corelle plate, with some 70s/80s Tang to wash it all down. He would mix the batter in a large yellow (as I recall) plastic cup so he could just pour it out in the pan.

I woke up this morning wanting some pancakes. Being my "health conscious" self, I started with the spray Pam. This is what happened:

The cake is more burned than it looks. So I went back to basics. I went with the butter-the-pan-straight-from-the-stick method that my dad used.

And I waited for the tell tale bubbles to indicate flip time.MMMMM, pancakes. :)

But we don't have these plates.
