Things I ponder on a Sunday night

This is in no particular order:

• I need to use the word bailiwick more often.
• I need a vocal word-of-the-day calendar. Anyone who knows me knows I have difficulties pronouncing words unless I am in between 3-7 beers.  I need a calendar that speaks the word so I can learn.
• Why isn't there a "Just for Women" hair dye? And the latest commercial is particularly disturbing as these 5-10 year old girls tell their daddy it's time to go out.  The implication is that if he dyes his hair he will get a new woman.  More disturbing is the commercial ends with him taking a pic with his cell of his date and sends it to his daughters.  Personally, I like a little gray in a gentleman's hair.  Hello, George Clooney.
• What am I going to make for dinner this week? I realize some might think this is obsessive or premature thinking, but let me explain.  I usually do most of my weekly cooking over the weekend.  It gives me leftovers for lunch and dinner the rest of the week.  Last week I nailed it - beef stew and hamburger gravy.  This weekend...nada.  I made a bruschetta whole wheat pasta, which I just finished the last of.  Not too bad and will definitely make it again with some modifications. But it doesn't solve my problem of dinner for the week.
• Oh, I have to develop a chili recipe for my office's chili cook-off on Friday.  Should be easy right?  Ha!  Pass along any suggestions.
• I heart Craig Ferguson.  He makes me giggle and I just don't giggle enough.
• I went to work today to make up for the next 3 days because I will be up in Bethesda attending an antibiotic resistance conference.  Now doesn't that sound like fun?

And with that I have to go.  I just ordered The Hurt Locker and I need to pay attention.
