Why do commercials use 70s music for background so often?

Is it because so many of us relate to those tunes? Is it because they were so good?

The topic: What to do?
----------------------------------------------

I’ve still got about three quarters of a ton of laundry to do. I haven’t gotten back into a routine yet. Last year, after our Disney trip, I needed a lot of time to decompress. This year doesn’t feel like that at all.

I just wish I could get my butt in gear and do that darned laundry.

Maybe I’ll do it today. Brian left early this morning for the property. That’s how he decompresses, he goes up there and works on his tractors or works the land. It’s been too dry to work the land, all it would do is kick up a bunch of dust, so he’ll probably look for dead mice in his trailer and work on the equipment.

When he left, he took the cookies. I hope he dropped them off at his mother’s, although it was pretty early (the time changed this morning, you know).

In bed, I could hear him tossing and turning, I asked if he was awake, he said “yes”. I suggested he get up and take his shower and get going. He thought that was a good idea. I got up, too, and made the bed. Then I went to the freezer and took out a roast and put it in the crockpot on high. Tonight, we’ll have roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and peas for dinner. The last ten roasts I cooked ended up in his lunch. I thought having one for dinner would be nice.

So, he’s gone, I’m here by myself. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of interference on the satellite dish. AWACS and radar. San Diego is a military town, Navy and Marines. It’s very irritating. The picture and sound keep dropping out. I think I’ll watch some DVDs today, ones he wouldn’t be interested in. Or maybe I’ll sit in my rocking chair and read. Or maybe I’ll dork around on the internet all day.

I should really do laundry.

I can’t find my contact lenses. I wore them to Tortilla Joe’s on Thursday night and I know I packed them when we came home. But I don’t know where I put them. Maybe I’ll look for them.

Maybe I’ll go back to bed. *yawn*

I wish it stayed standard all year long. I wish it didn’t change at all.

The topic: Heartburn
----------------------------------------------

Those cookies gave me bad heartburn. We went to breakfast yesterday morning, then mid morning I had a cookie. Just one. Within the hour, I had sharp pains in my chest. I recognized them as heartburn (I’ve gotten them off and on since teenage years). I took a Zantac 150, drank some water with baking soda in it to make me burp (and get rid of the gas in my intestines). That helped. We didn’t eat until late and after dinner, I had three more cookies.

Within the hour, the heartburn was back. I told Brian to get rid of the cookies, take them over to his mom. He said “but if they make you sick…” No, they won’t make people sick, just me. There is something in those cookies my system complains about, it does not like.

I think I’ll stick with homemade.
