Early this morning I fell asleep on my couch at about 1:05 am and slept for an hour and then woke up at about 1:05 am. That's not something that happens to me often.

When life hands you 5lbs of whole, dried yellow peas...tell me, my mother wants them for soup! (Seriously, they are damn near impossible to find lately, and I do not get any homemate soup unless I find them.)
