Month End Musings ~ May 2009

Now don'cha be looking here for musings. If I didn't have time to write one single thing in the month of May, what makes you think I'd have time to come up with any musings! Oh, I was going to write about my disdain for the plethora of cereal choices and bemoan the fact that the sweet little trio of cereal from my childhood (Cheerios, Rice Krispies, and Kellogg's Corn Flakes, if you must know) can hardly be found in the 2 1/2 mile stretch of shelves dedicated to honey bunches of this and crunchy fruity bits of that. But I didn't. I was going to write about toothpaste and the fact that I was forced to buy the vanilla mint flavor of my toothpaste because my usual toothpaste-flavored toothpaste was nowhere to be found in the 2 1/2 mile stretch of shelves dedicated to all manner of pastes and gels in lovely pastel colors (and striped variations) offered in every flavor save taco--which I suspect is somewhere just past the 2 1/2 mile stretch headed our way. But I didn't. I was going to write (read: complain) about the new fad of begging for money for charities at the supermarket checkstand and the incessant "woo hoos" that accompany every donation. But I didn't. I was going to write about a ladybug. But I didn't. But I might! Stay tuned!!!
