Penny For Your Thoughts

Have you ever looked at penny?  It has a very distinct color.  If it is dull or shiny, you always recognize it.  Pennies command attention.  The fact that it takes 100 of them to make a $1 doesn't deter most people from collecting them.  In my opinion, collecting pennies is a long-term challenge to save for something affordable and frivolous at the same time.

If I could start right at this exact moment collecting pennies, I'd like to fill a jar with a penny for every random thought that pops into my head.  In one day, I'm sure that I can get to 100 with ease. Before noon, I came up with these random thoughts:
 

1.   When will I plant my last 7 tomatoes?
2.   I wonder if mosquitoes are still out?
3.   That dragon fly is huge, will it eat all of the mosquitoes?
4.   Slug are so gross.
5.   If I don't sweep up these decaying flower parts, will the slugs eat them?
6.   Small leaves....
7.   Who in the world is playing their music so loud?
8.   Why is the dog shaking?
9.   Why won't the dog eat?
10.   I hope the kids sleep until 10.
11.   How many loads of laundry?
12.   I can't touch my garden until I clean up the house.
13.   I hate cleaning the house.
14.   Please see the laundry, be the laundry.
15.   Why can't I get these wine stains out of the sink?
16.   Bleach should clean better than this.
17.   I really like Arm & Hammer better than Tide.
18.   I like Biz.  Why can't I find it anymore?
19.   That's why...  it comes in liquid.
20.   Is that what she wore yesterday?
21.   Why does the dog...  scream!!!
22.   Do ants bite dogs?
23.   The parsley has stalk looking things.
24.   I wonder if I plant a lot of rosemary if the mosquitoes will go away.
25.   I should really fertilize those tomatoes.
26.   Oh, that house plant is losing its leaves...  they are yellow.
27.   I hate laundry.
28.   What exactly is swai?
29.   Can I use all of these seasonings together?  I will.
30.   Why does paprika turn the chicken yellow? 
31.   Is 10am to early for a beer?
32.   Is 11am to early for a beer?
33.   Why am I not at the beach?
34.   I should go over to the neighbors to see if the fence that he sees from his house is clean--he's     jacking up my morning coffee.
35.   I should buy more of those tall black pots from Home Depot.
36.   Will the water from this ice chest fit in this pitcher?  Yes it does!
37.   Can I clean the yuck off of these candles before I melt them down?
38.   I don't want to look for citronella oil.  Maybe I can just drop sprigs of herbs in there instead.
39.   I love lemon thyme.  It is pretty and seems hardier than the other stuff.  
40.   Is the creeping thyme creeping?  
41.   I need two more parsley plants.
42.   I really need to plant those cucumber seeds.
43.   Uh oh...  I think I waited to long for the tomato cages.
44.   Can I use duct tape?
45.   The neighbors will see it...
46.   Stakes will work.
47.   I need stakes and twine.
48.   Raffia works better than twine.
49.   OMG...  slugs are so gross...
50.   Are those ants?  Let me see if they are in the front yard.
51.   This organic pest control confuses me.  Smells like a combination of poison and mint.
52.   I should cook for two days.  Fish, chicken, brown rice.
53.   The fish is thick.  The chicken is kinda yuck.  Why the hell did I fix brown rice?  
54.   How do we make so much trash?
55.   I have to clean that dip out of the dishwasher.  Hehehe...
56.   I am washing up all of these little plastic do-hickies to use to share my tomatoes.

58.   Crap, I forgot the eggplant.
59.   Why are they up so early?!?!?!
60.   No, I'm not fixing your breakfast.
61.   Did you hide the pancake on a stick from your sister?
62.   I don't know where your tank top is.  Did you look in your closet, dresser, or that huge pile     of clean clothes on the sofa?
63.   Should I leave it home alone.  
64.   I can't believe she's coming.
65.   When was the last time that she brushed her teeth?
66.   Her hair is still combed?
67.   I wish I were muscley like that...

71.   Shit...  not...   I have to layer the chicken
72.   I like to listen to music while I clean up and cook.
73.   The food is nasty and the house doesn't look that clean.
74.   I will never be a domestic goddess.  Sigh...  I need a maid :(

76.   I can't drink that $3 bottle of wine.  Barf...
77.   I should really get that bag of fertilizer out.
78.   Maybe I can make a barrier of salt around my plants.  I can build a little platform and      surround it with salt.
79.   Is the dog having a seizure or is his insulin low?  
80.   He's so sad.  The kids are still sleeping.
81.   Good lord, these children don't have one clean towel.
82.   Why does that smell so bad?
83.   Yuck..  cobwebs...  How do you get those down?
84.   Is that a spider in my tiny leaved tomato plant?  The last time that happened I got bitten and   had hives.
85.   So this tomato will be black and not purple.  I'm not eating that.
86.   Damn green zebra.  It didn't grow last year either.

93.   Oh look, those ducks are flying really fast.  Those three must be lost?
94.   Hey, there is candle floating in that water.
95.   I think that the herbs are growing.  Shouldn't there be more lemon balm?
96.   That sweet olive plant has a tiny tomato.  So does the chello--the leaves are small.  Wait, so    does the black prince.  I hope I actually get tomatoes.
97.   Gotta go and cook.  Instead of just cooking for daddy, I have to cook for everyone.
98.   Crap, he can't have brown rice.
99.   I hope he likes this swai stuff.
100.   Crap, the panko is lighly seasoned.

These were just some of the thoughts in my head this morning.  After a morning full of thinking, I had coffee, beer and spent more time thinking than doing anything.

A perfectly wasted Sunday AM!
