Word of the Day

On my Google home page, it gives me a word of the day. Today it's

monomania: obsession with a single subject

Made me immediatly start thinking of what I am monomanic about.

Sometimes I gotta admit it's chocolate. Not Hershey's, but rich, European chocolate.

I don't know that I have ever been totally monomanic to the exclusion of anything else in my life ... though if I think about it for a while, who knows what I might remember ... but there certainly have been mini-monomanic phases.

When I was 13 I had to have a Panasonic tape player - a cute little bubble-shaped one.
When I was 14 I had to have horse-back riding lessons.
When I was 16 there was this certain young man at school ... never knew I was alive, I'm sure, but boy-oh-boy was I monomanic about him! My best friend and I used to yell greetings to him from the anonymity of the chairlift at the local ski hill (and then giggle so much we could hardly ski)

Lately? Well a few years ago I was definitely monomanic about saving a wonderful kindergarten program at our local school ... found myself getting up in the middle of the night with ideas and plans ... lost that battle, though.
Getting a dog? check
Homeschooling the boys? check

I wish I could be monomanic about getting in better physical shape!

What are you monomanic about?

Oh no. I am that way too. I did the getting the dog thing (with all of the research on different breeds) and homeschooling too. It was yoga for awhile. I started learning violin last spring and would probably still be doing that if I could schedule it in this year. Maybe after Christmas. What is my "thing" right now? I'm not sure. Probably being grumpy about my linguistics class.

For those who prefer the rustic flavor of cooking over an open fire, a Dutch oven is perfect for cooking almost anything. Made from cast iron, these sturdy pots have been used to provide generations of camping enthusiasts with hot and hearty meals. A cast iron skillet is great for frying and sauteing, and is heavy enough to stand up to the extreme temperatures of a fire. You need to know the specific size of the head to fit the helmet properly.

The advent of lightweight aluminum frames put an end to the rust and paint problems, but aggressive riding styles opened the door to a shop full of damaged frames. Straightening aluminum frames is possible but should be left to an experienced repair technician. Squats are good stretching techniques to ease the quads resistance to movement. Also, standing on one leg and pulling the other foot up from behind gives the quadriceps an especially good stretch. Spend a longer time stretching when you are finished with your activity.
