Well, another week shot to hell!
And with that said, sorry I've been lacking in the "post" department. It's very hard to get private time to post here- what with Andy hanging over my shoulder like a vulture, and the girls in a constant state of noise! Add to that the friend-ly "invasions" and to just sit here, collect my thoughts ( hardest of all with all the distractions) and type for 5-10 minutes is darn near impossible! I come up with ideas while sitting quietly late at night/early morning, but by the time I'm actually on this thing- trying to remember my name, let alone a topic- is near impossible! The bright spot in all this is I have a way now of keeping the house clean. NO FRIENDS ALLOWED- unless the house meets my "cleanliness" approval! Cruel? perhaps. Clever? YOU BETCHA! I had Becky and her girlfriend clean my entire livingroom in the space of 15 minutes yesterday- just so she could sleep over! Saved me a bit of work this weekend- and she got her friend here- so who's stupid? NOT ME!
I ended up not going to work yesterday. Sometime on Wed's shift, I twisted something in my ankle. And when I tried to get up and walk yesterday morning- I couldn't put hardly any weight on that foot! (its better now- but I spent most of yesterday with it propped up!) Since I knew that the pharmacy had plenty of help- I called out. I'm sorry, but they had me running around like a mad-women for 3 days straight. So it's no wonder my poor legs gave out! They ( read "D" here!) have not gotten the hint that my legs are still not up to what they used to be. I can't run a marathon ( which is what it's like- running back and forth for 9 & 1/2 hours!) with my legs still suffering the after-affects of all the chemo. I mentioned this to Mrs. H ( the asst. I talked to on the phone yesterday when calling out) and she said that she'd already brought that to Mr. P's attention. So she said something is gonna be said to "D" about duty rotations. So that hopefully will not happen again!
We're gonna have a full schedule this weekend. My Cousin, her daughter ( "S") and kids are all comming down for a couple of weeks. They're going to Disney next week for a few days, but most of the time they'll be here. I haven't seen her daughter since she was about 17. She's 40 now! And her eldest and mine were born about 2 weeks apart, so that should be interesting. They're driving straight down in one shot from Altoona, PA.- so they should get here today sometime. I'm thinking we'll go over Sunday. That will give them tomorrow to get rested from the haul down. I'm really looking forward to it- "S" used to spend her summers with my family growing up- and she's as close to a "little sister" as I've ever had. Which is fair, since her mom is like a big sister to me. So concider this a "family reunion" if you will! Don't worry, pictures WILL be taken- and of course posted!
Well, It's Friday. Becky and I both have eye exams today ( please, please- NO BIFOCALS!!!) and then we're clear for the weekend. I'm even going to get some laundry done today- so the weekend will be clear for fun and frolic! Speaking of frolic...................
Don't know if you've had this one up there or not:
Martha vs. Maxine .....
*Martha's Way*
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice
cream drips.
*Maxine's Way *
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are
probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!
*Martha's Way*
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
*Maxine's Way *
Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix, keep it in the pantry for up to a year.
*Martha's Way*
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake
mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
*Maxine's Way *
Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you.
*Martha's Way*
If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato
and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up."
*Maxine's Way *
If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me
the real woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it
tastes!"
*Martha's Way*
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for
weeks.
*Maxine's Way *
Celery? Never heard of it!
*Martha's Way*
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful
glossy finish.
*Maxine's Way *
The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the
crust so I don't.
*Martha's Way*
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The
throbbing will go away.
*Maxine's Way *
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!
*Martha's Way*
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give
a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
*Maxine's Way *
Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.
*Martha's Way*
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in
casseroles and sauces.
*Maxine's Way *
Leftover wine??????????? HELLO !!!!!!! :o)
..................................................
I don't know about you all- But I'm a MAXINE all the way!!! lol!
Have a great weekend, and I'll be here if anyone need me!
Peace and Love! KC!
P.S.- has anyone noticed the "one-way-ticket" on Senff.com? Could he finally gotten clearance to move over? I hope so!
P.S.S.- The new video is up at the OS for "Rock On"- OMFG- is it GOOD!!!!
If those guys looked any better- it would be illegal in at least 27 states!!! ;-)
