Since I appear to be spinning my wheels lately and not completing posts on time, I thought I would put a lot of that spinning mass together into a post and participate in a Random Tuesday's Thoughts. Don't get dizzy…
- Everything that is old is new again…
- Got a new work computer and have been wasting a lot of my time trying to get the screens to look like they did with my old computer.
- Why does it take longer to do something that you are familiar with if you are forced to do it slightly differently than it does to do something you have never done before?
- If you have wireless installed on your machine, do not turn it off (you may not be able to turn it on again).
- You never realize what is important to you until you have limited access to it.
- Having High Tea…
- Even though it was only my wife and I, we both had a great High Tea together on Saturday. She bought some great pastries from the bakery where she works. We bought fresh cucumber to make sandwiches to go with it— as well as making the standard olive and cream cheese sandwiches.
- Wound up that by the time we got all the ingredients together and brewed the tea that it was already dinner time. Oh well… High-tea for dinner is alright with me.
- King Day…
- There have been a lot of days revolving around kings these days: ("Epiphany", "Christ The King Day", "Martin Luther King Day")
- During Epiphany three of us in the choir had a trio singing We Three Kings during the service. We wanted to wear name tags saying which of the Three Kings we were but couldn't bring ourselves to wear name tags such as "Elvis", "BB", or even "Carol" (BTW: I sang the Alto line, so I would have been Carol).
- During Christ the King day, there is a tradition where you eat a King cake which has a little plastic baby hidden inside. If you get the baby you are lucky, or something like that. Last year my wife had one from work and decided to blatantly hide it in a serving of pancakes:
- I keep seeing "MLK" and keep thinking of the movie Milk (Darn dyslexia…).

Tell me about the new computer idiosyncrasy. I just got a new laptop and getting it to look and work at all like my desktop and server tops is a giant time suck. Maybe we will recover in time - I sure hope so.
that sounds very sweet having a tea with your wife
I wonder if it's bad luck to bite in to the baby...
Personally, I think pastries, sandwiches, and tea sound like a fabulous dinner. Pastries are good any time of day.
Thanks for stopping by today. Great random.
I hate new computers almost as much as I hate old, broken ones. Why do we resist change?
I like the whole high tea thing! Cool!
I've always been worried about the "bury the baby in the cake." It's quite probable that someone will swollow the baby. I think that would be really bad luck!
Happy Tuesday!
That last picture made me hungry for IHOP! (POHI)
LOVE the "King Cake"!
hee hee hee! I think it would have been hysterical to be wear name tags...!
Oh, man, you should have worn the name tags. Even God appreciates good humor!
That tea sounds wonderful right now.
I used getting my new computer at work as an opportunity to try out some of the new looks of windows. Then it was a "learning something new". Turns out, I like new better.
I liked the movie Milk but it was sad knowing it was a true story. They're trying to implement Harvey Milk Day in CA, not sure if it went through or not.
High tea sounds lovely but baked baby pancakes, not so much. Ha.
I think having high tea with your wife is a great idea. Of course now I'm also thinking chocolate chip pancakes for dinner is a great idea...
LOL, I saw the baby in the pancakes and started giggling even before I read the post.
