I'm not really talking about Pancakes

I love metaphors.
I love talking about things in code.
I love talking about things that I'm not really talking about.

Confused yet?
I've done this before.





I made my children pancakes this morning for breakfast.
They know it takes extra time to do this and view it as a special treat.

I used to make pancakes in a skillet, one at a time, and it took forever.
Time consuming and ineffective.
I didn't know what I was doing.
But I kept trying.

Then I wised up and asked for a griddle one Christmas.

Now I can mass produce those suckers.
They aren't perfectly shaped or gorgeous...but they taste good.






My pancake philosophy is much like my _______________ .

I try to be more effective, more efficient, and hit what counts...but I'm not perfect.

Fill in the blank.

Hopefully you don't mean your bathroom time -- "more effective, more efficient," especially with "hit what counts".

So I'm going with blogging too. Though, as moms, our bathroom time is limited, isn't it?

Cleaning style. Fast and efficient. I want to get it done right and not have to redo it. Of course the first pancake is always burnt and has to be trashed. Glad the first thing I clean is not that way.

I'd love to be original, but I say blogging, because it was the very first thing that came to mind.

Well, I'm going to say "disposition."

Now that that's over. I make my pancakes on a griddle also. I've found the most efficient method for uniformmit is 1/4 cup size in a face centered cubic arrangement.
