Now I'm Tired

So last night after I got home and walked with Denise Austin I was so invigorated that I changed a light bulb in the kitchen, which inspired me to take photos of the lights outside, which inspired me to clean the kitchen which inspired me to get on the ball with baking for my Christmas goodie bags for the folks at work.

And I took pictures of my baking--sausage balls and ranch oyster crackers.

I also took pictures of the precarious light bulb changing experience. (step stools and a chair were involved.)

I could have sworn I put my camera in my purse. But alas, it is not there. I think I left it on the microwave after the last sausage ball pic was shot. *sigh*

In other news, the darks are STILL IN THE DRYER and at this point will probably stay there as they are slowly being emptied out each morning anyway and it's almost time to start over on the laundry.

I do nothing if not half-arsed. lol

I've still got two nights of baking left to do, though. More sausage balls tonight and cookies tomorrow night. I could probably get away without the cookies because mostly everyone just wants the sausage balls anyway but I need to balance out the sweet, the savory and the salty, right? So cookies it will be.

Sis2 called me last night while I was baking the sausage balls. When I told her what I was doing and what they were for she was like, "Why are you baking them now? Don't ya'll normally do that on Friday?" Because, hello! I don't want to be up all night Thursday night baking.  I think all this time she's been a SAHM she's forgotten what a narrow window of opportunity there is for us who leave home to go to work to do anything at home. She can bake cookies and sausage balls anytime she wants and enlist the help of a three-year-old and a fourteen-month-old. I have three to four hours each night to bake. And sausage balls (a double batch) usually take at least two hours start to finish.

Anyway, maybe tomorrow I'll remember to bring the camera and upload the photos. I know ya'll are just dying to see them! *snorts*

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...
