Soup D’Jour (or Post-Ambien posting)
Look! I have friends willing to babysit this site while I’m trying hard to NOT get malaria! How awesome is that? Krissa, from over at HalfAsstic is first out of the gate. She’s the hilarious Texan with a heart of gold and a bathroom full of adult diapers.
HI!
Guess what!? Ree asked me to GUEST POST on her blog and I couldn’t be more excited! I have been trying to think of something special to write about for days. And finally, this morning, immediately upon waking, (at least I think I was awake…), it came to me in a flash. Perfect! Stunning in it’s very brilliance. I lie there in bed not quite fully roused and the priceless bits of wisdom that a person is prone to that early in the morning just kept piling up. The words flowed like water downhill. It all meshed. It all sounded like I’d spent hours in a dictionary investigating every possible adjective and then did a government subsidized study, polling no less than 1000 English speaking Americans from the mid-west to pick the exact right ones.
It was all good.
Coming awake I ran in and rushed to get prepared to do some serious writing.
Deodorant/antiperspirant was applied. (Ree is my friend and I don’t want anyone talking smack about my pits smelling on her blog.)
Clean underwear was donned.
Face washed.
Teeth brushed (huh… Need to make an appointment to get a cleaning…).
Wait a minute! Is that a zit coming up?! NO! I WILL NOT GET SUCKED INTO FACE PICKING! MUST. TYPE. POST.
I arrive at HACK just as the very last images of my brainstorm are fading from above my head like the gigantic brain fart they were.
Now, breaking out into a light sweat with the effort at concentration, I can recall only the basic premise of the soul of my post. Something like…
Soup is hot.
NO, NO, NO! Wait! Is that right? Well, let me think about it…
Yup. That’s it! Now we should probably explore that theory some….
Soup is also cold. SOUP IS ALSO COLD.
This isn’t going like it was in my head this morning before the Ambien had worn completely off. Maybe some personal opinion is needed.
Soup should be hot. Cold soup is just stupid and if you want cucumbers you should eat a salad.
THERE! Ta Da!

Ha! I’ve done that too — thought up the perfect post sometime between going to bed and getting up and then realized that my idea was far less than perfect.
But, yeah, cold soup is simply not normal.

Last night as I lay in bed waiting for sleep, I composed a business email that was elegant, eloquent, and very nicely fulfilled the directive from my boss. I thought “I should probably turn on the light and write this down…nah, I’ll remember it.”
This morning, all I have left is “Good morning, Barbara – ”
Yay me.

This happens to me ALL THE TIME. Right before bed when I’m too comfortable and tired to get out again.

Gee, Ree… where do you find these people?
Krissa´s last blog ..There just is no good title for this. I mean what on earth would you call it?
[...] I’m not really here. I’m guest posting over at Ree’s, The Hotfessional, and she is flitting around in India. I expect some great pics when she gets [...]
I always seek you out for the wisdom of the soup.

Hot, hot, hot soup! Perfect, it is cold here. No wonder you knew that would make a great? blog!!
It’s about freaking time someone took a stand on this important soup issue. Thank you, thank you for this long over due post.

THIS is what I’m talking about! People are scared to speak up about sensitive issues like this. Too afraid of hurting the feelings of the “cold soup activists”.
I say, DO NOT BE AFRAID!

Yes, hot soup is in the same league as Merry Christmas in my book.. If you want to eat soup, make it hot, if you want to wish happy holidays, go with Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Soup, soup, hot soup, I would like some returned in the pot she borrowed months ago….that I sent over twice! yes, I SAID TWICE!!!!! full to the rim with tortilla soup……I am one good friend!
I’ve always hated cold soup. But I’ve also always hated cold pasta salad and people think I’m weird when it comes to that, so I don’t know if hating cold soup is normal either.
My brilliance lasts about three minutes upon waking. I have learned not to talk on the phone, email or say anything in those three minutes lest I am held to my ginormous ideas.
I keep meaning to put a pad and pencil on my bedside thingy, because GEEEEZE the lost posts of brilliance!
