And there is ALWAYS a good book to be read.<br /><br />Steve Reed- I think it's all about the $$ and the fact that poles consistently show that more and more people are not feeling so tolerant towards those who are so blatantly INtolerant.<br /><br />Mrs. A- And who gets to be the judge over whether or not someone's beliefs are "sincere"? What crap.<br />Anniversaries of deaths are always hard. Always. Go ahead and cry and spring will be there soon.

I have been in this house 12 years, and haven't washed the windows either. I think I hosed the front ones off once. And the whole inside needs to be deep cleaned but it's not happening any time soon either. I managed scrambled eggs with cheese for dinner. After 38 years of marriage I am totally uninspired for ideas. Tomorrow is the precooked carnitas pork from Trader Joe's since it is only two of us this weekend. (I completely agree with Elizabeth about TJ's.) It's just creeping very middle-aged syndrome here. But I have a new library book and a new owned book, so can cheerfully put other stuff off till at least Saturday.

And the kids would help me but they all work so damn hard with so little time off and I know that when they do get time, they need to take care of their own households. Lily offered today but I turned her down. If I need them, they will be here. <br /><br />Elizabeth- Tallahassee just got its first Trader Joe's a few months ago. I've been twice now. I need to spend more time there, especially looking at frozen things that look good and healthy. A very good suggestion, dear. <br /><br />Mel- I'd rather shovel horse shit than snow, I can tell you that. The thought makes me shudder. Do you shovel snow? I bet you do.<br />You so get me. The license thing IS a part of my self-view. It's weird, but it's true. <br />I did not overdo today. I promise. Just the right amount, I think. <br />What would we do without rotisserie chickens? Publix makes the best ones I've ever had.

I've ...Oh Mary, I could have written half that. I've not had the horseshit to shovel, but mulch and sand and peat piles yes, and don't shovel that wet shit unless you're having a superwoman day. Don't throw out your back or shoulder or anything - it's just a garden, and you have lots of spring left to go right?<br /><br />Also I am sick to death of buying and preparing food for other people, and me. I don't even know what I want either. The best part of travelling was not making food, just ordering it. Elizabeth's idea sounds easy and yummy though. I'm grabbing a rotisserie chicken and some lettuce and calling it a dinner salad tonight. <br /><br />You're doing better than most, and it'll never be good enough for you but that makes you who you are. I understand about not wanting to let your nursing certification go, you would judge yourself for it, even if you don't need it, it's on your must do list, your who I am list. Your list is huge. Every woman I know has a list too long to do well, it's contagious. We do what we can, right?<br /><br />After reading this post, I feel guilty for not making my Mr. an egg sandwich lately. That I can do. xo<br /><br /> Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-92217978295191633882014-02-27T13:38:02.903-05:002014-02-27T13:38:02.903-05:00Good morning to you, too.

Because they are really the best when it comes to meals when you're so sick of coming up with stuff to make that's nutritious. Even their marinated carne asada or chicken, thrown in a frying pan and then sliced for tacos is perfect. Cut up some avocado, make some salsa or buy some, a little cheese and you're good to go. And if you're super, super tired, get any of their frozen food. It's actually delicious.

I always seem to figure out something.<br />The reality of shoveling shit is not as funny as the image. Well, maybe a little.<br /><br />Denise- Or fish tacos? They're always good. But with rice and salsa, good too. It never ends, does it? <br /><br />Ain't For City Gals- I know. I am learning to just let go of some things. But some things just simply must be attended to. <br />I would have gotten rid of myself a long time ago too, if I were my husband.<br />I do make good biscuits though.<br /><br />Yobobe- You've never smelled Dolly. She's always smelled like dead fish, no matter what. And now it's just completely overwhelming. One needs a gas mask.<br />Frittata is always good. Thank you.<br />And I am always happy to make you laugh.<br /><br />Ellen Abbott- Oh, I am under no delusions that Ms. Brewer vetoed that bill due to her goodness of heart. But sometimes it just doesn't matter- the ends justify the means. And in this case, it does. And of course they'll appeal that Texas ruling but I think that the Constitution will prevail.

There all kinds of reasons like financial or because people were calling them bad names or because someone realized it could be used to discriminate against, gasp, Christians but not the most important and real reason it should have been vetoed for. And you can count on our attorney general to appeal the ruling in Texas since his favorite pastime is filing lawsuits against the federal government on lost causes and wasting lots of taxpayer money because he never wins.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-83548254014370782282014-02-27T11:19:31.796-05:002014-02-27T11:19:31.796-05:00Ms Moon, is it wrong that I laughed hard reading a...Ms Moon, is it wrong that I laughed hard reading about your stinky dogs? and the rest of it.
