Tuesday Tidbits

• I feel fit today.  Six miles will do that to a person.  This bullet point has no other point.  I just wanted to mention that six mile run again.  It was awesome!

• I returned my itsy bitsy teenie weenie swimsuit today.  If I would have used the enclosed UPS return label, it would have cost $6.95.  I used good old Uncle Sam and paid $2.50.  The swimsuit search continues.

• Brinkley and I went for a walk this afternoon.  We went over to a nearby pond so Brinkley could stalk geese and squirrels.  Even though it is officially Spring, I haven't really seen anything Spring like.  I noticed only one tree with green buds.  Everything else was still very yellow. 

• I have been sluggish all weekend in getting things done.  Things are still a bit messy around here.  I've been telling myself all weekend that I was going to try making roasted chickpeas but the can still sits unopened by the stove.  Getting the can out of the pantry was a step in the right direction though.

• After my orthodontist appointment this morning I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to purchase a salad spinner.  During my fresh food adventure over the past few weeks, I've realized one of the biggest hurdles towards me eating a salad at lunch was washing and drying the lettuce.  Wash a leave, wave it around like a lunatic until it's semi dry, wash the next one, wave it around... it took ten minutes to get my greens prepared.  So, I'm going to try this spinner contraption and see how it works.

• A new episode of Castle finally aired last night.  It seemed like eternity since the last new one.  I'm officially on pins and needles until next Monday thanks to the preview.  Beckett's secret comes out. She heard Castle confess his love and he finds out she lied to him about remembering.  Eeeckk!  And squee at the same time.  Caskett angst in the fandom, folks.
