Apparently I am falling down on the job.<\/p>\n<p>I do have a lot of things to say, just a limited time in which to say them. Since I need to start watching my next IEW video I will leave you with a question. Last night at dinner (restaurant) we had a lot of leftovers, my eyes were bigger than my stomach I guess. Anyway, as the waitress brought me 3 styrofoam containers it seemed like a total waste. I told my husband that perhaps I should bring my own tupperware containers from home, because I always have leftovers when we go out.<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone actually do this? Would this put me in the total cuckoo category? If you were at a restaurant and you noticed someone at a table next to you putting leftovers in their own containers would you call the funny farm?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/104\/307154014_d3c642853b.jpg?v=0\" alt=\"\" width=\"378\" height=\"284\" \/><\/p>\n<p>or this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3180\/2813756110_2aa93c9a23.jpg?v=0\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I would love to hear your opinions on this one.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all your comments. I am curious, for those of you who would say it would look planned, what exactly would I be planning? If I go to Outback and order a steak which comes with a salad and a side and I have leftovers (which I always do), what is wrong with having extra food? I am not talking about going to a buffet or an all you can eat place and taking home extras. I do like the foil idea, and of course I could always reuse the foil when I get home :).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/hh_signature_green.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-506\" title=\"hh_signature_green\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/hh_signature_green.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"163\" height=\"20\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lazyorganizer.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lara <\/a>for more Talk about Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><em>photos courtesy of <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/images.google.com\/imgres?imgurl=http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/104\/307154014_d3c642853b.jpg%3Fv%3D0&amp;imgrefurl=http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/goldgallery\/307154014\/&amp;h=375&amp;w=500&amp;sz=82&amp;hl=en&amp;start=41&amp;um=1&amp;usg=__tLV2gSVT9hc-wtn-Pyqo9BRVlJQ=&amp;tbnid=jJ34CL2UBkHOUM:&amp;tbnh=98&amp;tbnw=130&amp;prev=\/images%3Fq%3Dstyrofoam%2Bcontainers%26start%3D36%26ndsp%3D18%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN\" target=\"_blank\">blue stop sign<\/a> and <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/images.google.com\/imgres?imgurl=http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/104\/307154014_d3c642853b.jpg%3Fv%3D0&amp;imgrefurl=http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/goldgallery\/307154014\/&amp;h=375&amp;w=500&amp;sz=82&amp;hl=en&amp;start=41&amp;um=1&amp;usg=__tLV2gSVT9hc-wtn-Pyqo9BRVlJQ=&amp;tbnid=jJ34CL2UBkHOUM:&amp;tbnh=98&amp;tbnw=130&amp;prev=\/images%3Fq%3Dstyrofoam%2Bcontainers%26start%3D36%26ndsp%3D18%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN\" target=\"_blank\">Space Potato<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I was doing nothing today, when my husband came to me and asked if I was no longer happy.
