I Forgot to Pay the Ransom for Little Debbie

My boss is quite the funny gal. I found this on my desk when I got to work one day last month. She found my stash of zebra cakes.

The next note was even more ominous:

I hope my boss doesn't end up looking like this:

 I hope she sends me to WalMart for snacks soon, My desk drawer stash is mighty puny.

Bad Habits

Friday, November 15, 2013

If you could quit one bad habit instantly without difficulty, which would it be?

I'd change my eating habits. The ones that impel me to eat sugary or salty snacks that I KNOW I am NOT supposed to eat but I can't help it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 

                              This is how I feel about cake, cookies, chips, brownies  etc etc etc.

Five Things in my Refridgerator

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

Name five things inside your refrigerator right now and how you feel about them.

Okay seriously? Who thought this one up? Whatever. I'll play.

1. Can of beer I just HAD TO HAVE yet never drank. What's up with that lol? I feel like I should keep it because I fought so hard for it.
2. Some peppers from the garden I helped with this past summer. I'm proud of them.
3. A ham I bought in case my son comes to visit. It's a good thing and I love it a lot.
4. The coffee canister I use to hold scraps. One of my all time favorite things. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right when I put my coffee grounds and eggshells in it to take out to the compost pile.
5. REAL BUTTER. 'Nuff said

A Day of Mourning 121/365

No, not for Osama Bin Laden. I have no comment on his death. I am in mourning for one of my favorite restaurants, Red Hot and Blue. I heard from a friend that it might be closed and when we checked it out, sure enough it was. How dare they! We don't have a BBQ joint to call our own now. Famous Dave's? PFFFFFFFFT! Too crowded, too expensive, don't like the ambiance. *Sigh*

In other news...had a message on my answering machine that we might not  probably won't have time to give away my gift bags. OK now tell me why we can't take 5 minutes to draw 12 names? BS I say. I just had Dakota write down 6 men and 6 women he likes at the school. If it turns out we really can't draw names I'll just give the gifties to those persons.

Going to bed so I can be at the school by 7 AM to set up for Staff Appreciation Day. They don't know what they are missing from me. No time indeed!

Confucious Say...327/365

WHO WRITES THESE THINGS?

We ate at the Asian Buffet on Academy and Vickers. Ugh! The place was filthy and the steam tables not turned up. If I wasn't so hungry I would have left. Definitely not going back there again.

Caught 307/365

Oink Oink

For lack of anything better 253/365

My meal at Red Lobster last weekend. Jack got a gift card from Mypoints so we splurged. Cheryl says her brother, Jimmy, calls it Dead Lobster.

Sushi Reflections 202/365

I took Meg's chopsticks downtown to eat sushi ...yum yum!

Red Hot and Blue BBQ at its Finest 173/365

Jack didn't work again today (oh thank you, snow, you just keep giving and giving) but he might have to work Saturday so we went for groceries and other sundries today. But first, lunch at my fav non-breakfast establishment, Red Hot and Blue at Academy and Austin Bluffs. The food is fabulous, the service is good and the atmosphere is excellent. We got a free dinner for signing up for their email list.Who wants to do lunch?

Big ol Can of Whoop A** 165/365

Don't make me open that on you!

And the 365 shadow pic of the day is:

The Making of the Colcannon 158/365

I asked Leslie for an Irish recipe and she suggested colcannon. Made from mashed potatoes, cabbage and ham and scallions, my version came from Food Network's Tyler's Ultimate. It was yummy!

I'm also grabbing a little trick Leslie uses for her 365 pictures the old "here's-my-hand-yes-it-counts" maneuver!

Inca Mexican Resteraunt 147/365

Looked more Aztec than Incan to me but the food was tasty and that's all that mattered,eh?

Quilt Guild Day 109/365

Leslie picked me up early for the PPQG meeting. For the uninitiated that's the Piecing Partner's Quilt Guild.

Some people go to the meeting to see the quilts and hear the speakers.

Me- I go to eat and knit, grab things off the Put and Take table, and socialize.

 

But seriously, I did get up and share my story of the quilt I won at the Rossville Sesquicentennial last summer. Did you hear that story?

Cheryl had a bunch of frequent flier miles wasting away so she booked us a flight to Indy so we could attend the town we graduated from's 150th Anniversary. She was great- got the hotel, rental car, fed me and even bought me raffle tickets for the quilt they were giving away. Guess who won? That would be ME!

The quilt top was found in one of my favorite teacher's house, Mr Carl Hunt. It's estimated to be about 75 years old. One of my LEAST FAVORITE teachers, Mrs. Nancy Cox finished the quilt. Now I sleep under it every night. Luckily I don't have nightmares of GAA or PE class.

Funny Food 58/365

We had to go out again today. One stop was a very crowded King Soopers. I amused myself by taking pictures, mainly of Jack, who finally threatened to take my camera away if I didn't stop.
