Floof! Finding comfort...
Comments (40)Definitely food. Mashed potatoes and baked goods, not at the same time. :) It is terribly hot and humid this summer, even late in the evening and early in the a.m., which hasn't been conducive to working off the extra calories. Cannot wait til autumn and cooler exercise-friendly temps. I love the 2 Fat Ladies cooking shows. So much fun. Ina Garten puts me to sleep, and I just can't with Nigella and her "sexy shtick". There used to be reruns of The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr on PBS years ago, it's a very old show with a British host who really enjoys his wine and gets more and more animated as the show progresses. They may have the shows on Youtube, not sure....See MoreFloof! Funny quirks..SO edition!
Comments (37)Annie, my SO is like that too. And he says the EXACT same thing: "I think this is done, but I am gonna leave it for a few more minutes." Luckily, the only cooking he does is grilling. And that is not often. He does it with other things too. Washing the car? He has to mix 4 different soaps in the bucket. Spraying some ants? He will use half a can of raid on 10 ants. He RUINED a batch of my scented wax cubes by waltzing in, telling me HE knew how to make them better, and dumping a ton of fragrance oil in the wax, way more than it will hold, thus ruining them. And even if they somehow managed to turn out out, I would have to sell them for 10 bucks a pack to break even on the cost! He has since learned to stay away from my cubes and candles! (unless of course, he sells them for me. He does sell quite a lot. But as far as production goes ,hands off!) However, that quirk carries over into positive things too. He is a very generous man, and good to me in all things. But man I get tired of eating dried out grilled chicken!...See MoreFloof-ish. Are you a fan?
Comments (49)Yes, rob. That was sort of the premise for my whole post. The tedium of ceremony before getting to the point. Whether it be a celebration, a get together, a sporting event, a show, a class or test, a meeting, an announcement, anything. I was wondering if anyone actually enjoyed such, and if not, why it is still so prevalent to fiddle faddle around before the main event? Think gender reveals. All sorts of leading up to things, trying to build suspense, for what? if you want people to know what you are having send an announcement out. If you wanna have a party about it just do so. We're having a boy/girl! Come celebrate with us! Its that easy. It would work for most other happy events. We got married! Come celebrate with us! The kid graduated! Come to a party to celebrate! I think it would be better if people keep in mind that a lot of people only attend such events either out of obligation/guilt, or indeed to take the opportunity to get together with family and friends. I know that the bridal industry pushes the idea of a fairy tale wedding HARD so that a lot of young people think that they NEED to have such an event, and get excited for it. Thus the tradition of family and friends and friends of family showing up to suffer through, in order to get an opportunity to see each other. Why not just get married and then have such a party? Same thing with things like training or meetings. No one is there for fun. We are here because we have to be. No, I do not want to see your pretty little PowerPoint slides, unless they are RELEVENT to why I am here. I do not want to play an ice breaker. I either already know someone or will likely never work with them, so stop wasting time, get to it so I can get out. I am an adult and can either get along with everyone or at least fake it for works sake. I need no help from an ice breaker game. get to it. Or a game. I want to watch THE GAME! Not someone warbling and over embellishing the national anthem to try to make it stand out. Not a dance or cheerleading routine. The game was supposed to start as 7. Its 8:30 and nothing sports related has happened. I will for sure attend all the future weddings of my nieces and nephews that I am able. Out of OBLIGATION and GUILT, because I am their aunt and I love them. And I will make small talk and rant and rave over the decorations and how lovely the colors looked and how well done the ceremony was......then I will be thankful that it is over. I do hope I have at least one that thinks like me.........See MoreFloof! Lasts..just for fun
Comments (12)1. Songs: had to go back and look at Spotify, listened in the car on the way to nursery to pick up some ground cover plants: Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone, Annie's Song by John Denver, Put Your Records on by Corinne Bailey Rae, Love Grows by Edison Lighthouse and I'll Play for You by Seals and Croft. 2. Movie: Oppenheimer Was going to be Barbie but my daughter and I decided to postpone watching it until this coming week. 3. Last thing eaten: A ham and havarti cheese sandwich with garden cucumbers and dill, with Miracle Whip and a little sprinkling of Sundried Tomato salad dressing, and Lightly salted Lay's potato chips. 4. Message: from my doctor's office telling me I have test results available. I already got my lab work so I'm assuming it's the foot x-ray. I haven't read it yet. The foot is hurting pretty good right now. 5. Exercise: Just planted two pots of ground cover, which were super root bound so I divided them into 6 separate plants each, which means I had to plant twelve plants. Oh, and the one beautiful peach colored Delphinium, I totally didn't need but had to get. Still have four more pots of probably root bound ground covers to plant tomorrow. 6. Online purchase: curtains for my French door in the dining/kitchen area and lightweight hiking boots. 7. Last book: "One Hit Wonder" by Lisa Jewell. 8. n/a 9. Last store: Lowes, to pick up some manure and potting soil. I just read the second to the last person's list and well, I forgot I went to Walgreens after Lowes. To get some Vitamin D3. All the vitamins I saw there seem to have at least doubled in price. I got the Walgreens brand in the smallest size. 10. Last drink: Iced coffee...See Moreraee_gw zone 5b-6a Ohio
