Homemade Almond Bark: Idea vs. Execution, a life story by me.

This release is soon to join compendium volumes such as "Taming Frizzy Hair: Idea vs. Execution," "Learning Modern Dance in Middle Age: Idea vs. Execution," and "Willpower: Those Sweets Have No Grip Over Me (Idea vs. Execution)."

Who needs quarters for a parking meter when you have an app? A digest by me.

Technology makes things easier! For example, I had to find a place to park for a doctor's appointment today. Look how easy it was to park using modern technology:

1. Park car at meter
2. Locate information on meter about rate.
3. See URL for the mobile app that will let me pay in the modern way. How advanced!
4. Bring up internet browser on phone
5. Adjust screen brightness settings for sun glaring in eyes.
6. Squint at browser.
7. Squint at meter.
8. Dodge bicyclist.
9. Type in URL from meter.
10. Enlarge non-mobile friendly text to see the name of the parking app to download.
11. Search for said app in app store.
12. Oops, I'm not logged in.
13. Login to app Store.
14. Download app.
15. Search for app download (which screen did it go on?).
16. Create user account.
17. Prove I'm human by checking all the stoplights in various boxes.
18. Verify user account.
19. Fill out form to park.
20. Locate meter number.
21. Enter meter number into app.
22. Verify parking location and amount
23. Wait for registration to complete.
24. Fish for wallet to set up payment information.
25. Dodge family with stroller.
26. Insert credit card number.
27. Done!

See how easy that was?

When I tell people I like to dance...

What my friends think I do, what my mom thinks I do, what society thinks I do, what my boss thinks I do, what I think I do, and what I ACTUALLY do...

Why vegetarians live longer...

Me: "I accidentally ate some 'natural' turkey jerky made with no preservatives and didn't see the warning that said 'MUST REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING & CONSUME WITHIN 3 DAYS' until after it already went down. So, should I just drive myself to the hospital now or pack a bag & be ready for later?

Friend: "It's probably fine but maybe make sure your gas tank isn't on empty and charge your phone just in case!"
