Look out, I might bite

GRRRR!

I'm grumpy today. Not sure why. In my disgruntled mental ranting, somehow I started thinking about all the things I spend a little extra cash on. I don't mean like new CDs or anything like that; just certain things that I don't skimp on when it comes to buying the good stuff. What am I "snobby" about?

COFFEE - always buy the best organic and sometimes fair trade I can find.

Spaghetti sauce; fruits and vegetables (organic whenever possible, but always organic lettuce); eggs (again, more of my granola-crunching organic/free range tendencies coming out); herbs and spices; cheese...

I know there's many more, but I'm figuring out quickly that I take pride in my condiments.

I also decided that maybe I shouldn't take afternoon naps anymore. I had this bizarro dream where suddenly this giant eruption sent this huge plume of smoke, ash, and mud straight into the sky. At first I didn't know if it was a bomb or something, but it ends up it's a volcano - and it's the eruption to end all eruptions. So then I didn't know if I'd have to worry about a wave of lava pouring my way, or a mud slide, or things on fire. I was scared but had to figure out what was happening! I turned back and then saw all this smoke and ash and mud washing down the mountain towards us, and the earth was opening up like the tectonic plates were moving and creating a new big fault line. I think the eruption was supposed to be of huge proportions and was going to wipe out a BIG area. I don't know if I was going to die or anything, but I just remember being scientifically fascinated by it all...

And then I remember that Steve is visiting Brian this weekend in Seattle... Mt. Rainier... volcano... yikes!
