Thursday Thirteen



Thirteen Things In My Refrigerator

A conversation on one of the threads I frequent inspired this one.


1. Mayonnaise. For those rare and odd occasions I have stuff to make sandwiches. I'm not sure how old it is, though, so I might need to toss it.

2. Maraschino Cherries. I bought them to make some mini-cheesecakes and of course, it's more economical to buy the super huge jar than the little one, right? Doesn't hurt that they're tasty. And good with ice cream. NOT that I keep ice cream in my freezer. Much.

3. String Cheese. They're an excellent source of protein and calcium AND they pair well with...

4. Marinara (pizza) Sauce. Not that I actually make anything that warrants the use of the stuff but it's great dipping sauce for string cheese. Makes you feel like you're getting the whole pizza experience without all the pizza calories.

5. Sugar Free Pudding Cups. Mochacino Sundae. Mmmm...Again, great source of calcium AND a low cal treat. And you get your chocolate fix, coffee fix, etc. So really, it's a sweet deal of a snack.

6. Slimfast Cappuciano Shakes. Alert the media! I've got Slimfast in my refrigerator!

7. Chicken carcass. Okay, that sounds totally and for sure gross, I know. BUT...you know that rotisserie chicken I bought and barely managed not to consume in one standing? Well, the chicken's gone now but I didn't want to put the bones and stuff in the garbage can until trash pickup day. Don't want no smelly chicken house! BUT...*sigh* I forgot that yesterday was Wednesday instead of Tuesday and MISSED trash pick-up altogether. So. Still stuck with a carcass in my fridge.

8. Half empty can of light whipped cream.

9. Half a stick of reduced fat margarine. Possibly two years old. I can't remember.

10. A three year old (maybe four!) mostly empty jar of olives left over from some party or another that I hosted a while back. Emmy's 5th birthday maybe? :-/

11. Mustard. I don't even really like mustard but my mother insists I keep it on hand.

12. Half a bottle of ranch salad dressing. Haven't eaten a salad in MONTHS, if that tells you anything. *cringe*

13. Cool-Aid cooler, grape flavored. Emmy left it in there some AGES ago when she came to visit.

There are a slight few other items (flour, cornmeal, pickles, a can of Dr. Thunder from three years back) but that's the highlights.

ROFL at the chicken carcas but completely understand. I often leave stuff that needs tossing but that will smell up the house in the fridge until the garbage bag is full...and then forget all about it until after I've just come in from taking the trash out.

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
