Give me a J, give me an O, give me a B

Here it is folks. September’s Blog. I know it’s sad that I’ve gone down to a blog a month, but let me tell you that this one is well worth the wait. As most of you know I have been working at a local non-profit as a volunteer coordinator. Although that job is for a noble cause, a few weeks ago I was asked to join the marketing team of an internationally known business. I accepted. From this point on I will be learning about all things related to food. This could mean one of two things: my blog entries increase due to the new journey I will embark on, or they could stay the same with monthly highlights. I’m not sure which. I suppose it will be a surprise for all of us.

With that said, let’s look at September’s highlight’s:
Errr, perhaps I should say “highlight”. In any event, this month brought about many changes, the new job, a new hair cut, and a new dining room. When we moved into our little house it was full of periwinkle colored walls. That is all about to change. We started working on the dining room, that had a two-toned periwinkle look on the walls and the ceiling. To update this room, Phil and I chose a bold color that would stand out and add a little “umph” to our home. This look took a single coat of primer, three coats of the new color “Old Burgundy”, and three coats of “Caribbean Walk” on the ceiling and the molding. I could have found at least 30 better things to do with two consecutive weekends, but it was worth the effort.

After


To come:
The first week of October will be an interesting one. Mid-week I will be attending the Oklahoma Beef Summit (for work) where I will fabricate a carcass. That’s right a carcass. For those of you who are not aware of the terminology: fabricate roughly means butcher. I may or may not become a vegetarian after this week. Wish me luck!
