grannys gone and done it

[Wishing4Wings]

The new oven came today. It's really nice and so clean!

Darn, now I have to start cooking again.

tomorrow is the margarita thing. and why do you sound excited over a stove ? is it a magic stove? or does it grocery shop and cook the meals? oh i know ! it takes all the complaints from your family after you cook and they eat. the meat was a little tough or the potatoes were too salty It bundles them all up and throws a pie out at them !!

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Nah. Mostly I was excited that it is perfectly clean. And I didn't have to clean it. Not that that is high on my priority list or anything. Kind of like how we used to feel about pristine school supplies on the first day of school. Untouched perfect crayons and crisp smooth sheets of paper, just waiting for the magic to happen. So much hope, so much anticipation... Then reality sets in. Just for a day, this stove is a little magical. Reality will return soon.

I'm not an enthusiastic cook, but fairly competent. No complaints around here, I live in a house with gentlemen.

Besides, they know if they complain, I will go on strike and they will go hungry. (Not true,

my hubs is the kind of man who can do practically anything.) I was talking to my sister about this culinary gene that I seem to be missing in a family of people who just love to cook. Dad, sister, brother... in laws... They think about it, plan it all out, shop, prepare, cook, devour with gusto and immediately after, with great relish and anticipation, begin planning the next meal. Ugh. Give me a bowl of cereal, and I am happy.

Then my sister reminded me that our mom did not particularly like to cook. I had forgotten. She was left handed like me too. Maybe it is in the genes. Aren't you a lefty?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I am a lefty, could that possibly have a connection? Can we unite and stand up and tell the world. Leftys are in their right mind !!!! we have a perfectly good reason we dont cook, we are left handed ! lol

today is the start of day 18 the waiting is killing me. I thought i seen a very small wiggle from one of the eggs but more then likely it is my eyes shimmering . lol I dont think i am going to that fancy restaurant. I just dont belong in them. i belong where my sweat pants and t shirt are comfortable. lol It really doesnt matter to me. food is food, the memories are what makes the day. if i get choked or snort from laughter I dont want a bunch of high class snobs looking our way. I dont want to "be on my best behavior" , girls justa wanna have fun !!!

Had myself a bit of a pity party all day yesterday, because mama always takes care of whoever gets sick, but no one takes care of mama. Then I made myself some chicken noodle egg drop soup. Only 20 minutes! But, I'm also right handed.

I understand you wanting to just be comfortable -especially wearing a "boot". It's yours and Tom's day so you celebrate however you see fit!

Happy Anniversary! Wouldn't it be great to drive through burger king and get a margarita to go.

A thousand miles away but I think I saw that tiny bit of movement, too. LOL I can feel it in my bones. Oh, wait - no, never mind that's just arthritis kicking up.....

that would be awesome to get a margarita through the drive thru. LOL I had 2 of them when i went to that restaurant ( when my mom died) and it had probably been 10 yrs or more, i dont even remember since i had drank before that. and none today. we went to big boys. LOL I had a good day really. we talked about old times and ate good. we went to goodwill and picked him some pj bottoms up. they all will have to be hemmed. its not that he dont have legs, they just curl in. Looks like he has been on a horse all his life. hehe then we went to wally world and bought my friends children some Christmas gifts. told him i rather do that with the money then flush it. I went to the animal shelter in town and said, " i want a young cat that is fixed and front claws removed. they had one. he/she was all black. i told my husband, he waited outside , what they had and he told me he didnt think my son was ready. SO i came home to ask and he was right. he wants nothing to do with another cat now.

every time i try to post a big red screen pops up and say warning ! phishing , some one can steal my info . go back to safety. Like i care. what are they gonna get? shoot maybe they will be kind enough to tell me what my password is because i sure dont know. I am getting worried about the eggs. no rocking, pipping ,nothing. ya, i know its just the 18th day but my bantams always came on the 18-19th day and would rock away 2 days before that. I dont want to candle . I upped the humidity today to 70% with my husbands sock. LOL he thinks the dryer eats them. they last a lot longer then a sponge and did you know they put a chemical in sponges so when you buy them they are soft? u see what happens to them after they are used and allowed to dry out. It might be ok for my dishes but not my babies! so, I have had a really hard time with the man that ownes the cemetery where my sister and mother are. first off , the date of death on my sisters went missing and he promised to replace it. he did about 7 months later and with a smaller one so only one screw would fit. when mom passed he shook my hand, gave me his phone # and promised he would have a vase and her date up in 6 weeks. I have called him every week after the 6 and he will not answer. I stop by there all the time when i see a car there just hoping... today, on the way out i seen his truck. I thought nothing of my foot . I took off after him, I blocked his truck so that he couldnt leave (because i knew he could out run me) and away i went. shortest rote was through the graves. I seen a man jump into a different truck and i didnt have my glasses on so i went after him. I stood in front of the truck until he got out. It wasnt him !! but it was better. it was his daddy. said i just missed him, was there something he could do. I said, sir, your son is a lier and a thief. I told him he offered to come when no one was around and place my step-fathers ashes in the same tomb as my mom and sister. and that was illegal and i had proof of the convo. and i will broadcast it to the heavens. he asked me what i wanted. i told him his son was a coward and would not get on the phone with me. He said, he will answer the phone to me , and he called him. told him what was going on, why i was there and what i had said. he said i want you to talk to this lady and again he would not get on the phone with me. the father gave me his phone # and promised that things would get done. he took mine as well. he was paid well over 6 grand for these things. it has been 6 months since she passed and no flowers yet. I will hope its not a like father like son kind of thing going on here. I was so ready to punch him too. that would of made it the perfect day.
