mr brightside
(i'd kinda like to kick him to sleep)
brrr the cold is here to stay i think, and even though i have held off on turning on the heat still, not sure how much longer that can go on. found that keeping yr coat on makes for a reasonably comfortable environment inside but then my coat is kinda bulky and annoying. maybe i should get everyone one of those snuggie things, even though the weezer snuggie i so desired was no longer avail last year :( (boo hoo wah wah) the nly problem with that is that ID BE BUYING A SNUGGIE!! ah that hearkens back t the days when i saw the ad and couldn't believe they were for real and not some horrid cult joke. trying to keep the stiff upper lip re the hollydays but it sucks because buying stuff for my kids is the funnest thing ever. i did manage to get some good deals at old navy and jc peny so the annual charity thing is covered, albeit not as heavily as in previous years but please people, go out and buy something--a decent toy or warm clothes for a child or something warm and special for a senior--they are so neglected this time of year, and i love my mom so much the idea of someone like her being alone and nothing to open on christmas makes my situation pale in comparison. if i could have $500.00 to spend on charity that would be the awesomest christmas ever. toys for tots and teens, salvation army for seniors and a little bit of food and toys for the animals at the humane society and mewtopia of course. 200/200/100
i wonder if theres a place where you can petition people to do that other than on my infrequent blogosphere here. listening to the jango, this eve my "worst things' beautiful" station, though i havent cried much yet the tides do swell.
i reread my previous posts just to catch up lol and i still can't believe watching "meet joe black" made me cry. just that whole mental titty twister of losing yr parent, it kills me. moms doing pretty well with her hearing aids but i worry daily about the memory loss being alzheimers onset or something. she deserves so much better than she got with us, and i wish i had some way to make it better for her. it definitely scares her and i don't know how to help her.
the police right now, i do so enjoy them. maybe if i'm feeling extra maudlin i will try to pick out the best "made me cry" song of the night...
i'm starving now, haven't eaten today and as its nigh on nine i do believe i'm entitled.
stomach was growling in the car on the way home earlier.
oh duh--thanksgiving was wonderful--i still have turkey left, potatoes too, though not very much!! everyone said i was crazy buying a 25 lb turkey when the girls only eat tofurkey lol but the leftovers went home with everybody and i still had some to spare...2 full bagsw of yukon gold later, lol i made belle the best ever mashed-potato salad. since i hand mash with the skins always it was quite tasty if i do say so myself. i also split the batches since all the potatoes wouldnt fit--even in my jumbo iron caphalon stewing pot, i made the smaller batch a garlic/cheese mash and they were pretty good. after tasting them eleanor suggested sour cream be added, and so it was, and behold it was freaking awesome. did burn the pan only non meaty stuffing but thats my bad for trying to sit it on the bottom of the oven. with tom turkey being so large, it was the only way to put it in . i like how decent sized my kitchen is but the tiny gas stove leaves a bit to be desired. like room for instance, lol. maybe i shoulda broiled them? then they woulda just burnt on top instead of bottom lol. ooooh and i tried a new thing with my green bean casserole that was fantastic--i added the usual mushroom soup & extra can of mushrooms, but i also threw in a packet of onion soup mix and toppped it with zapps cracked pepper and sea salt chips, crumbled up. (way better than those nasty onions.) i was also mocked for making too many packets of the wonderful white shoepeg corn, but somehow, once the second round of snacking was over, there didnt seem to be any more corn left.
advantage:ME!!
oh and i am gonna rant summarily about the el classico yesterday which was 31 flavors of BRILLIANT!! Messi assisted villa to score twice and oh man, it was insane!! best game yet and belle and i were yelling and laughing. the beautiful game was never more lovely...and speaking of lovely, GASP at the new topless Messi gatorade advert. holy bleeping bleep. im not a creepy pedo but that man child is the most beautiful thing i've ever laid eyes on. watching him in motion is like a gift....
