no, nO, NO, No, no!

Today is my protest blog.
Protest #1: This day has flown by, and I fear it's going to end before my to do list does. Sigh. I don't like how time seems to speed up faster and faster each year. Where did 2008 go? And yet I want this week to hurry up and end because that means payday! Whohoo!
Protest #2: Kay Hagan voted for the tax evader as head of the Treasury Department! AAAUUUGGHHHHH!!!!!!! At least if she keeps making such stupid mistakes it'll be easy to replace her in 6 years!
Protest #3: Exercise. I hate it. I don't care what people say; it does NOT make me feel better; it does NOT give me energy; and it does absolutely NOTHING for my mental well-being. And yes I will grudingly, unwillfully admit it does help you lose weight....in the smallest nanograms possible.
Protest #4: Target, even though they advertised it in Sunday's paper, did NOT have the Fireproof dvd today, and I used my 10% off coupon today. GRRRR!!!! big whoop!
Protest #5: American Idol and the Biggest Loser are both coming on tonight, at the same time. And it's not all that often there's anything remotely interesting on television. Bah humbug! I don't have my quilting frame set up yet anyway.
Protest #6: Laundry...did you honestly expect me to write something positive here?!? Sigh...okay...I'm thankful we have automatic washing machines and dryers.

I feel the same way about The biggest Loser and AI. I like them both and there is nothing else on the entire week, unless you get cable or satelite, which we don't (we're cheap). I'd like to get the Fireproof DVD too. Do you still have my Giants one? I can't remember who has it, and I might need a pick me up one day!

We got our DVD in the mail today!!! Rich is watching it right now. Not me, I don't watch many movies more than once.

Hey! My word verification is "sweat." I think it's a sign that you are exercising too much, Monica:)

I know you you feel about TV. Thursday nights are my "perfect storm"...Bones, The Office, and Smallville all on at the same time.

Thank goodness they put the shows up on the internet the next day...

things we do for love

Saturday we had a baby shower for Bobby's niece. As I was making the mints, Bobby asked what else was on the menu. After I recited off the litany of items, he responded with "No peanut butter?! This shower is for Hannah! What's she going to eat?" (Hannah has had stomach problems over the years and has been unable to tolerate many foods, but peanut butter has been her staple.) Despite my assurances that she would enjoy the foods we were having, he was adamant that I needed to make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for the shower. Even though I protested that NOBODY took that to a shower, he persisted, and informed me I could make them dainty with my little cutter. And so I did. To my surprise all but 3 were eaten. Who'd a thunk it?

get your house in order

My grandmothers were very clean people. My mother thoroughly enjoys cleaning, though she doesn't quite hit the same level my grandmothers were on. I don't enjoy cleaning, but I do like things to be clean. I've almost given up on neatness. One thing that they all instilled in me is the crazy concept that your house must be in order before you go somewhere big - like a vacation or something. After all, you could die in a car crash or have to go to the hospital, and then people would go into your house and find it in a terrible mess. Who wants to be remembered by that? So up until this past year, I would sometimes be up almost all night not only trying to get things packed up, but also trying to totally clean house as well. Or should I say, make the house presentable? The Chinese had a horrible superstition that my mother and grandparents would have enjoyed. Spring Festival (the Chinese New Year based on the lunar calendar) required EVERYTHING to be cleaned top to

Wait...it's almost March?!?

 10 more months 'til Christmas. This last month has been an absolute blur. Cleaning at Mrs. Bryan's house, cleaning at our house, lots of thinking and brainstorming and rearranging, appointments upon appointments, sinus infection/allergies, Bobby's surgery, meeting with surgeon and finally agreeing to future outpatient surgery for me, ongoing updates from my parents, garden tilled and snow peas, potatoes and beets planted (and yes I left several rows empty between the potatoes and beets for something else to go later as a buffer), chickens are laying, we may have a broody hen..in FEBRUARY!!!, we have two roosters that need to disappear, lots of family have been in from out of town to assist with the sorting and cleaning at Mrs. Bryan's house, and somewhere in the midst of it all I've found time to pay bills and catch up on a few emails. While I no longer feel like our house is a disaster zone, it is still overwhelming. Years ago a friend posted a quote by Martin Lut
