MsCezanne's Odyssey

Just a post

I’m not a religious person. I simply don’t care if there is a God or not. I don’t need the promise of heaven to be a good person, or the fear of hell to stop from doing nasty things. I know that civilisation hangs by a precarious thread where enough people have to be ‘good’, and I’d like to keep things on that side of the balance.

However, there are a few ironies in life that make me wonder. For example, the rampant commercialisation of Christmas just seems to be divine punishment for previous commercialisation of Christmas. Every year it’s harder to find the perfect gift. Every year the crowds are bigger, and the parking lots are inexplicably smaller (or perhaps people driving those mammoth SUVs should be required to take parking lessons!) Every year there is more to do, and less time to do it.

It just can’t be a coincidence, can it?

Enough armchair philosophy.

Ian’s been eating quite well as of late:

Saturday morning: I went out and bought him a pack of Cinnabuns. It was just a six-pack of the full sized ones, but he enjoyed it none-the-less.

Lunch was just McDonald’s. He hadn’t tried out the New McNuggets yet, but 20 later, he’s satisfied. They’re not as greasy, but certainly tastier. He also had a double big mac, large fries and two hot apple pies.

Dinner was his company Christmas party. We had some sort of pasta dish, I couldn’t quite identify it. It was actually pretty good, better than many ‘family restaurants’. They had quite a dessert table, and Ian did his best to ensure there weren’t any leftovers.

It was fun getting to know the people he works with. They’re all quite impressed with his girth and appetite, and yet who wouldn’t be!?

The next day was a bit of a cheat. Frozen waffles for breakfast (the whole box), frozen pizzas for lunch (the whole box) and I made a stew in the crock-pot for dinner. We need to get a bigger crock-pot I think!
