Janell’s Insomniac Ramblings

I can’t sleep.

I’m hungry.

The satellite does not improve the programs offered by 3 AM television.

If the current administration is to blame for the gas prices soaring to record highs in July, who gets credit for the 40 cent DROP over the past three weeks?

They tell me that we shouldn’t bother to drill for oil here at home because even if we start right now, it will take ten years to produce energy. Well, won’t we be needing it ten years from now? And who was in charge ten years ago and should have gotten started on it then? Hmmmm……?

Rick Warren’s interviews with Barak Obama and John McCain ROCKED. If all you’ve been seeing of it are the sound bites, you really missed out.

Strange pain assaulted me on Thursday. I laid down for my pre-work snooze and when I got up my left hip was stiff and hurting so badly I could barely walk. It was still stiff and aching on Friday morning, so I went to the Dr. He poked and prodded and did some range of motion tests and x-rayed it, all of which was inconclusive. He prescribed an anti-inflammatory drug of some kind or another and scheduled me for two weeks of physical therapy. Now here’s the really weird part: when I got up Saturday morning, I was almost completely recovered. No, I hadn’t taken the drug yet because it was specified to be taken with food and I didn’t want to take it at work because I wasn’t sure what it would do to me; “may cause drowsiness, etc.” So what the heck is up with that?

I don’t know why I haven’t blogged since last Tuesday. Either too busy or too lazy.

I have some really cool pictures to put up for this week’s Ruby Tuesday.

I think I might like to have a tazer. Do you have to have a permit for one of those?

Back in May, I planted six tomato plants. Today I harvested six tiny little tomatoes. How sad is that? I’ve got my garden in a bad location – not enough sun. I don’t think I’ll bother with it next year.

A few weeks ago, I bought a cheap little charcoal grill/smoker. Yesterday, I smoked a beef brisket and a pork loin in it. I used mesquite chips and charcoal. They cooked for about 8 hours and boy did they both turn out good.

Emily went riding with me today and she had her hair in a braid. I grabbed the camera this time and got it recorded. (I blogged about this a few posts ago.)

I might be ready to go back to bed now. I just yawned. No, wait a minute, I might just be bored with this post. And if I am, then you are too so I should just end it and put us all out of my misery.
