Another week has past and once again we are here with Thursday's thoughts, things and confessions of a truly warped and convoluted mind. OH what a tangled thought we weave when we practice to deceive. Don't know why I just typed that but it just popped i my mind.
1. Richard Simmons, have you ever thought about him? Is he really the person he portrays to the the public? I wonder in private is he really 'sweating to the oldies' or something more evil, more depraved with those old women who love him and worship him and maybe haven't had any you know what for you know how long???
2.I have been out of big green garbage bags for weeks. I put them on my shopping list and still forget to pick them up. What is with that? What is keeping me from buying the bags? I am thinking there must be a hidden meaning to this?
3.Went to the most awesome BC150 years celebration last night with the kids. 150 years ago yesterday our province was born and we went to the birthplace and enjoyed a night of free celebrations and entertainment.
4. Turkey what can I say, I drove 30 miles to buy a .27 lb turkey from the states. Here in Canada the cheapest a turkey will go on sale is .99 lb. So now I am set for xmas.
5.The quilt........aww yes it appears I like to leave things to the last minute. I am down to my last 3 blocks and still have to put the thing together.
6.Facebook, whoever invented it sure has cut into my free time. I get hooked on their senseless games and waste entirely to much time. My current craze is Pet Society.
7.So as you know said eldest child failed his driven test last week. So Monday we had to go back in and rewrite the learners. $25 dollars later he is set for another 2 years of a class 'L'
In another week he can retake his roadtest at the cost of $35 and if he passes pay an additional I believe $50. and have a class 'N' license. They sure don't make it cheap on the young people.
8.While walking home this morning (after bringing nevy to school) not staying out all night. A crow almost dropped a walnut on my head. I wonder if he was wanting me to crack it open for him so I stepped on it. I even kicked the stuff into the gutter so he wouldn't get hit by a car eating it.
9.Women problems, it seems I am peri-menopausal. I don't like that sound of that, it makes me sound old. I don't want to be old, I want to be young forever.
10.Cooking with pears. For all you three blog readers of mine, I highly recommend adding pears instead of oil for all your baking needs. The pears add the moisture and you can cut back on the sugar too.
11.Survivor is on tonite and I am loving it. Now if only they vote Randy off I will be on a total winning streak.
12.On a more somber note. I have had three deaths this past week. One a father of one of Kaikoa's friends died of cancer at the age of 44. He was diagnose and dead within 5 days. He leaves behind a wife and 3 kids. Second an old boyfriend of a good friend of mine and someone hubby went to school with committed suicide. He shot himself in front of another friend of mine. I feel bad for Duke to have had to witness something like that. He was 48, much young. The third was a polar bear that I grew up with in a zoo. Well I didn't grow up in the zoo but visited Debby for years. She was put to rest at 42 years old which I heard is pretty long in polar bear years.
13. Well I guess I did make it to 13 shows that I can talk the talk and blog the blog.
cheerio my little chick-a-dees
In no particular order - good thing it was a walnut dumped on your head and not a dump itself ewwwww.
ReplyDeleteI think Richard Simmons has no interest in women, sweaty or otherwise ;).
Glad to hear your quilt is coming along well.
For the women stuff - I swear by generic Estroven (it's one of those soy/black cohosh herbal supplement things - I've been taking it for a couple of years now and its made me feel like my old self most of the time.
I do the same thing with applesauce that you do with pears.
I've missed so much Survivor that I have no idea who the good guys are except that I too find Randy really annoying.
And of course, as I told you online before - I am very sorry for your losses.....but Debby is in a better place now where she might actually get some action. I cannot believe they didn't give her a male polar bear for companionship and nookie.
Well, I am thrilled to be one of your three readers. :-D
ReplyDeleteI agree with Em -- I don't think Richard Simmons is interested in women, other than knowing that a good many of them are charmed by him. For whatever reason... He makes me grit my teeth and change the channel.
I have a profile on Facebook, which I created to keep up with a long-lost friend from high school/college. Otherwise, I don't seem to find much use or entertainment out of that forum.
Being perimenopausal myself, I say, shouting and shaking my fists in the air, "BRING IT ON!!!" And then when I'm done with my tantrum, I use progesterone cream called ProGest, which seems to help balance out my moods throughout the roller coaster ride through my cycle. I'm curious about the Estroven, though, and will add that to my list of things to research.
Survivor... I love that show, but tend to fall asleep before seeing who gets voted off every week. So glad they do a recap at the beginning of each show. And yes, Randy has GOT to go.
When using pears instead of oil, do you have to crush or mash them? Or simply peel and core them? Like Em, I usually use applesauce.
Last weekend, I set up a table of walking/running gear at the track where we were training, placing the table where I've placed it many times before. Sadly, when we finished our laps on the track, we discovered that everything on the table was covered in bird sh*t, white and purple splorches on everything... Turns out that the high school had installed new stadium lights over the summer, and I'd placed the table directly beneath one of the stanchions... right in the flight path. Ugh.
I can't imagine the anguish I'd suffer in seeing someone kill him/herself, unless it was something like pulling the plug to end a lengthy and certain terminal illness. But to see someone shoot himself... Oh, I'm sure the vision would never leave me. I'm so sorry that happened. And it's impossible to know how I'd feel if I only had 5 days to live after diagnosis. In some ways, I think it might be a blessing not to suffer a long, drawn out illness. But it would be difficult to contact everyone to whom I'd wish to say goodbye, and to put all my affairs in order. Another reminder to be proactive in making arrangements for our deaths, and to talk to family about what's important.
WOW...your drivers testing and liscensing is odd. lol We take a written for the permit here and can come back after 6 mons to take the drivers test. We pay $16 for the permitt and I believe $25 for the DL. So...with an "L" can he drive on his own? Or must an adult be there?
ReplyDeleteIm sorry to hear about all the losses you have had recently. I will say a prayer for each family and for you too.
Facebook...I have a page...been a bit more active on it the last week or so, but have not searched out the games..YET. Hmmm...fingers twitching to switch to facebook now. lol
1. Yuck, not something I want to think about this early in the morning. What the hell have you been smoking?
ReplyDelete2. Why do they have to be green? Is this some sort of tree-hugger enviromental thing? Just go borrow a few bags from the neighbors and staple a reminder to your forehead so you won't forget them next time.
3. Was Richard Simmons there?
4. And you still forgot the friggin garbage bags!
5. Better get busy, cold weather ain't gonna wait for you to finish the quilt.
6. I misread that, thought you wrote Pet Cemetery. Ever occur to you that it isn't Facebooks fault you have an addictive personality and have no self control.
7. Y'all should move to Walker County here in Alabama where people just drive and it isn't important whether you have a license or even know how to drive.
8. He was trying to knock you unconscious so he and his family could eat from the buffet.
9. TMI, you need to see that woman at the grocery store about getting some of her tube tops.
10. If you lived in the south you would learn to fry everything and not have to give in to pear pressure.
11. I thought Randy was on American Idol? Guess it's not a good time to start watching reality TV.
12. Hate to hear about that for the wife & kids, I know how tough it is. You're worried about being peri-menopausal, at least you're not a polar bear or they might be putting you down.
ty kerry you put everything in the right perspective.lmao
ReplyDeleteHe must have an adult over the age of 25 with a valid license and no more than one person under the age of 25
ReplyDeleteYes I smush them up first. When I have an abundance of pears like right now, I peel, core and freeze them in freezer bags. The kids use them for fruit smoothies too.
ReplyDeleteCynicism & sarcastic comments still free of charge for your viewing pleasure. LOL
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO at Kerry's comment re the polar bear.........
ReplyDeletegood greif woman, go finish that quilt. by the time its done it will be summer and you will forget who its for.
ReplyDeletei have never heard of using smashed fruit instaed of oil in a recipe.
