Holiday Cooking

Okay its Christmas Eve all the prep is done....But I ask why we go through all this trouble to cook like crazy when we get maybe 20 minutes of enjoyment out of eating all this stuff? Then an hour to clean it all up its crazy if you think about it. Then everybody sits around saying how they should not have eaten so much! Hello! I just cooked for two days and damn you will eat till you puck now! Every Holiday its the same thing we all go crazy buying the food,cooking the food, eating the food,cleaning up the food to hear someone say I should not have eaten that...
Its even like that for Memorial Day,4th of July and Labor Day what have we become? And better yet why do we do this stuff to ourselves and it isn't the woman who say's I should not have eaten that its usually a guy with his belt and button open on his pants UGH for the love of God please don't do the belt open and unbutton the jeans its gross. I am going to start really thinking about this two days of prep and cooking because its a little over the top now. Maybe I will make more then usual at Thanksgiving and use the old I'll put this in the freezer trick and defrost it for Christmas, now that is an idea and I wonder how many women actually do that? The same goes for the summer holidays come on you know you agree with me.
Just dress it up a little and no one will be the wiser. So there we go we have something else to think about and ponder on ...I know I will be till next time.

Well here I am once again.. You were expecting someone else? It's Saturday night so I should be out having fun for a change after all I did my time with dogs and kids right? Just what I thought so, so why am I home doing laundry! I am young yet I can still stand on my own and I can wear a depends if I have to so I don't have to run to to pee every 2 minutes from one sip of a drink and I can still dance as long as they are slow songs, come on I want to have fun too! But as usual no one listens to me, my ferret even gives me the you are getting old look how dare he they have a shorter life spam then a bird and he is giving me the getting old look! watch out buddy I am the one that feeds and waters you! Now getting back to getting old...What exactly is the new old, does any one really know or even care...like 50 is the new 40 so is 90 the new 80 and so on. Because that is really scary if you think about it. Because, people at 80 will be driving and they will say hey its the new 80 i am only 70 !Oh My God I can visualize it and the picture is not good.

So I ask what do you do on a Saturday night? knit socks for the homeless nothing wrong with that. I would do that but I don't knit. Second thing to do on a Saturday night call friends,they are knitting socks for the homeless! Third thing to do on a Saturday night watch old sappy movies on TV but there isn't any on and its December so I can't even watch spooky movies...Bah Humbug December! I could always watch my husband pick at his toe nails and wish that some UFO would zoom over our house and just zap him up with them.They would probably send him right back down you know the saying"zoom me up Scotti their is no intelligent life here" well they would say the opposite zoom him down their is no intelligence in this one..So think about Saturday night, getting old, and intelligent life and of course Bah Hum Bug December. Because I know I will!

Well today was one of those with all Capitals MONDAY SUCKS days I even sing it with the Mickey Mouse club song! You know, the Mickey Mouse Club song try it? I find it gets me through MONDAYS! Today began getting up late getting a text ...are you up? Me texting back yeah! whats up? I look at time oh joy its 6:00 am I am all ready late! I should have been at my designated spot at 5;45 DUH! So the day has already began with a great start and you know that when you get up late your hole day is messed up. I get kids up late ,we leave late to go to school . There is no catching up on one of these getting up late days and worst its a MONDAY SUCKS day what could possibly go wrong now? Kids in school all is quiet;
husband is somewhere in the house, he did not over sleep i might add.

Wow listen to the weather report! chance of one inch of snow mostly in higher elevation cool we will only get a flurry because the weatherman on TV are always right, Higher elevation what exactly do they mean higher elevation come on I live in the beautiful four seasons it is winter outside here what is higher elevation? So, some snow flakes are falling no great big deal I will go to the grocery store before the kids come home from school you know pick up something easy and fast for supper tonite because all the kids that I am associated with one way or another are in a school program. The store is a mad house do they know something that I don't know because it is just flurries outside and the weatherman said one inch in the higher elevation. Fine so as I fight for the last loaf of bread on the shelf with a lady who has the quickest cane in town beats me with it for the last loaf of bread I give up the idea for sandwiches for supper. And, just settle for soup, yeah soup I say its good for you on a cold Monday Sucks getting up late day, I keep telling myself that as I stand in line to the check out with people having provisions in their cart that I swear would last me oh! a good month and they have it for flurries"one inch in higher elevation" Oh late! kids coming home...Damn them people with thier provisions for flurries.
So as I patiently wait for flurries to stop they seem to gain momentum. Kids say Wow! look at all the snow! I in return say to the kids its only flurries "one inch in higher elevation" The kids sit at the window and proceed to ssay wow look that car is going up the street side ways and that car just hit that parked car this great! Well let me tell you? 4 inches later that weather man better have been giving a report way south of me like in North Carolina or Georgia for a report because I am sure that I am not "higher elevation " on his trusty Pa map. And if I ever see him I am going to ask him exactly what is his idea of "higher elevation" and tell him I am going to start sitting out at the the grocery store if I want a accurate weather report because the lady with cane she got her report going on and I am sticking with her! HIGHER ELEVATION ...PLEASE! So that was my getting up late Monday sucks day and how was your day may I ask?

My First POST!

First post...hmm...what can I write. I don't know what to write. Someone is sitting here making me work on this thing. I'm watching a two year old calmly playing with M&Ms. And listening to the chaos of the older four stomping around upstairs. As long as I don't see plaster falling down from the ceiling I'm not going to check! And I don't hear no blood curtailing screams...yet! And I'm getting texts about the dog throwing his food bowl around. Kids, dogs, cat, oh my...they scare me and I don't know why! I need a vacation but everywhere I go there are kids, dogs, and cats.

Then again there is the monastery.

But then the peacefulness would probably kill me or then again I might go MAD! I'd be like that guy on Bram's Dracula eating bugs! I'd lose weight! Then I'd have to share the weight loss system with my friends. If I had any! They seem to abandon me...but forgot their kids. Damn them!
