First Spin

Welcome to my first spin in the test kitchen.  I wanted to do this much, much earlier today, but my mouse died. No, not my pet rodent, my wireless mouse.  I thought it was the battery, but nope, after testing 3 other batteries (Yes, I am that person that thinks maybe the new battery could be defective, or even 2 of them, but certainly not 3.), it was pretty clear the cute little aqua color mouse was dead.  It isn't very old, it's a Microsoft brand, and it's dead.

Recently the Office Depot near me closed and now it is a MEGA church.  Weird huh?  So, the closet location for a replacement mouse was WalMart.  WalMart is an energy killer on a good day, and today wasn't a good day to start with.  I've had the flu, and woke up much improved, but not great.  My bodies lovely way of expressing distress is to cover me in hives, so that is what I woke up to.  Itchy, red blotchiness (I don't care if spell checker thinks that blotchiness is not a word, I'm going to use it anyway.) pretty much everywhere.  Doesn't really set one up for a day of comfort and tranquility.  Don't get me wrong, it's way better than feeling like I'm going to puke.  I'd rather itch than barf any day.  But still, blah - not fun - so the trip to WalMart pretty much took the last of my energy for the day.  There is laundry still sitting in the washer and dryer that need to be moved.  I didn't cook dinner (Thankfully the guys brought home awesome leftovers from their lunch.), and my list of things to do did not get done.

I am trying to figure out the best way to make an ad for the MM blog.  We sold an ad and now they are asking for the details, like size, etc.  Well, uhhh .... I don't know.  Let me figure that out.  Hold on, while I google that ....   experiment ... oh crap, my mouse is dead, itch itch, yawn .... head to WalMart .... any remaining life sucked out of me by the black hole that is WalMart ... and here I sit.

I need this site to simulate the one I am working on.  I can't screw up the view for everyone while I experiment.  Hence, Wendy's Test Kitchen is born!  It's an exciting day!  Honestly, I love it!  It feels fun and free!  Free to write without everyone over analyzing me to death, taking things personally, or otherwise out of context.  So, if you found this site, you are either a seriously, creepy stalker (watch for the restraining order, cause it's comin'!!), or just plain lucky!

Ok - Here's a favorite pic to include, just for fun and to make me smile.
