There is a problem I have, and that problem involves Evasive Objects.

Hence, for the past hmmm…many years, I have a list of objects whose precise location eludes me.

I’m proud to say, that this week, after a concerted effort, the Evasive Object Count has been reduced to three, from five.  I already mentioned my microplane grater.

In addition to that, a spare set of keys has been discovered in the remote reaches of a backpack pocket.

(Along with some sunblock, but that’s not important enough to be added to the count).

This does leave 3 items still missing in action (or inaction, as is more likely).  One particularly sneaky fellow has been MIA for a couple years.  The other, hm…about 6 months.  But it definitely came back with me from Japan! Whether it’s in my apartment, or at my parent’s house in LA though…who knows.  The third, one week.  I hope it comes back soon.

Here’s to hoping that count goes down before it goes back up!

I went foraging this fine spring Saturday (in my garage) and hit a motherlode of kitchen stuff. Since getting back, I’ve been longing to see my microplane grater again. I distinctly remember NOT having given that fine fellow away, and yet it’s taken nearly half a year for me to unearth it.

And along with it, some teas, spatulae, forks, spoons, measuring cups….
They were, most logically, piled in a Banana Republic paper bag, in a box with a plastic boomerang, motorcycle books, and stuffed animals. Of course.

Alas, some of these utensils I’d replaced and given up for lost. Knowing me…redundancy is probably safer anyhow.

But on to more pressing matters. I have a lemon, and now I have an awesome zester again! What to do, what to do…

…is not actually a word.
One prioritizes priorities, making the act of doing so prioriti-zing.

I was just writing up some notes from the week, about quarterly prioritization meetings, blah blah…and noticed the little red squiggly underline, saying “you misspelled this!”

I spelled it just fine, for a word that doesn’t really exist. I’m gonna go for some Friday afternoon tea imbibation* now.

*Though I suppose immolation is a word. As is immolating. Ah well, that’s English for you.
